Feeling somewhat better this AM, but woke up around 3 am and the second I opened my eyes the anxiety hit me again.

I'm going to attempt to go to work today and call my OB because this is just getting way too much and I have done research and while it's not really recommended, in a case where the anxiety is continuous and has a possibility of being a harm to the baby they can give you small doses of certain meds.

I hate to think that I am reduced to medication, but honestly, I am at a loss until I get in with a therapist. I have tried some of the techniques I have found on here. Deep breathing and ancient Buddhist hand gestures meant to rid your body of negative energies SEEM to help, for a short period of time, then my worry and fear takes over again. I can get on the computer, and as long as I am actively typing or doing an activity, that helps too.

I wonder if the anxiety is so bad because it's all so new and I'm still in the process of figuring out how I feel, how to react, and how to heal. I wish the answers were easier.
