Dear Mr Robinhall,
First of all. I would like to say thank to you for your programme
Let me introduce myself. I am 29 years old and I am from Viet Nam
I am 9 weeks pregnant now. My panic started when I found out that I was stressed. I was really scared because I thought this could do harm to my unborn baby. When these thoughts came to my mind, my body trembled with fear, my heart was racing and I couldn't stop that panic (I had had anxiety for no obvious reason which leads me to a panic attack before. It lasted for 1 month but finally I almost handled that by stopping the cycle of fear. )
2 weeks later, I thought I was no longer terrified by these thoughts. But another issue arose. That panic experience is so scary that I started to fear the panic itself. Whenever I thought of the panic ( though I am normal at that time), I became overwhelmed immediately and had a panic attack. It took me a really long time to recover. Sometimes, even if I am not thinking about anything, I have an anxiety sensation for no reason.
I think I can deal with all anticipatory anxiety now (which can lead me to a panic attack) but the panic itself. I am scared of my panic. How can I handle my problem? I am overwhelmed and exhausted this time. I worried if this situation keeps going on, my unborn baby might be affected (but this is not the reason for my panic now). I am so depressed and don’t know what to do next.
I am really looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks so much!
