Hi everyone,
I have been controlling my anxiety fairly well in the past few weeks. It's been about 2 or 3 weeks since a full blown attack and I'm generally less anxious on a day to day basis. I'm still waiting for a psych to call me back that takes my insurance! Anyway, my husband and I are thinking about starting a family. I am much more comfortable with the idea than I was a few weeks ago but I still have concerns regarding my anxiety. Has anyone here had to deal with anxiety while pregnant? If so, how did you deal with it, espe illy since you can not take most anxiety meds. I really wanted to start seeing a therapist to help me deal with it, minus medication. (if I can only get an appt!) in the meantime, any advice???
