Ok, so I've always had anxiety but now that I'm pregnant, I can't take any medication & its getting out of control. I've talked to doctor after doctor, therapist, etc. Nobody seems to care or they just blame it on the pregnancy. I'm scared of myself, if that makes any sense. I've never had so many attacks & suicidal thoughts before in my life and all doctors what to do is shove pills down my throat knowing the meds can harm my baby. I'm also having crazy out burst ... For lack of better terms. What do I do?

I've seen a psychologist also .... Some weird hippie guy that just wanted to bring up old stuff that I've already over come & refused to listen to current problems. I will try to find someone else to see but I'm a little limited by my insurance & plus I normally go to a government run native American hospital/clinic. Thanks so much.

Hi there.  I know how you feel because I was in the same position with my first pregnancy.  If you feel that the doctors are doing nothing for you, then you aren't seeing the right people.  I would look for someone, a psychologist, that is good at teaching cognitive behavioral therapy.  You need to learn some techniques to help calm yourself down when your anxiety spikes. Also, try looking up some meditation videos on the web.  There are some really good ones out there.  

I think the hormonal changes really wreak havoc on people that are predisposed to anxiety.  

Those crazy outbursts you are having are probably due to your continuous heightened state of anxiety and your inability to feel better.  Try to find a good psychologist.  I'm wondering if there are people who even specialize with pregnancy and anxiety.  Might be worth a google search.

I hope you feel better soon.
