Okay, its official...
I decided to speak up to my midwife and be honest about the panic attacks and heart racing ive been having lately...
she put it down to good old anxiety...
She put my name and number down for a local councillor at my hospital, and im going to book in for a session with him. It is all free which is great, as its through the hospital.
Ive been laying in bed at night worrying and stressing over every little noise, and when i do hear noises, my heart starts racing, and i get angry and frustrated at the noises.
I also get so worked up when dp says something, or if he even does the slightest thing different, i start stewing over it in my head, til my heart starts aching and pumping really fast.
I also have been having bad dreams that dp is cheating on me, or leaving me...i wake up stressed and worrying...
every little thing is worrying me or causing me to panic...
Even a knock at the door sends my heart racing, and i wont answer it if im home alone..
And the most recent worry attacks are over whether or not ive made the right choice to have a baby..i start worrying if ill get post natal depression, or wont be able to cope with looking after a child for the rest of my life...
Its really worrying me, and i felt embarrassed to mention it to my midwife, but i guess im glad i did, cause it would be great to leave it all behind me, and get some help.
