Really Freaking Out Tonight

I have no idea what's gotten a hold of me within the past few minutes, but I'm gonna lose it. I've been fine all day, except for a few spells here and there of worrying that I usually get. Took the girls trick or treating, came home inspected the candy, and had a few pieces. Now, I'm sure it was my anxiety getting the best of me. And I was alittle weary of eating anyway for fear of something tampered with. But soon after eating my first piece I started feeling funny. But I chalked it up to my anxiety, making me take things out of context. The feeling soon passed and I was able to just lie in bed with DH and watch a movie. About half way through the movie I began to notice my heart rate and that it was beating harder and faster than normal, this has been going on for quite awhile and it's making me very uneasy. I don't understand why this stuff has to jump out from behind and hit me when I'm finally relaxed. To top it off, we're testing tomorrow to see if I'm pregnant; but, I've started spotting again tonight, very faint but still noticeable. I don't know what's going on there. Right now, I just to calm down so I can sleep!

Hope you're feeling better now!!! That's pretty much how I felt Monday night. It came on very quick and got past me before I had a chance to try to control it. I felt like I was jumping out of my skin. Just keep reminding yourself that you are really ok and that it's just the anxiety. Pick yourself up and dust yourself off and jump right back in to life (at least that's my philosophy). Try not to let it get you down.

If you are indeed pregnant you can pretty well bet your hormones are partly to blame. Boy, can I relate to that!!! Crossing my finger for you that the test turns out the way you want it to.

I know just how irrational our anxiety can be. Once I ate strawberries & later took 2 tylenol. I had probably done this a hundred times before without any trouble. However the teeny tiny thought entered my mind that this might cause some sort of reaction. Just like that, I was so anxious & near panicking that it wasn't even funny. I think of it as some sort of *connect the dots* that our mind uses to play tricks on us. The remedy is to play tricks right back. Tell yourself that you are fine. That you won't be harmed. Keep busy & distracted. Later, allow yourself to laugh a little. Don't be angry with what has happened.


I hope you're feeling better. Keep in touch. (((hugs))) jan

I'm curious why you would think you are pregnant when you are spotting?


I've done the same thing with the anxiety, too.

the main reason i think im pregnant is because i'm on day 43 of my cycle and still no period. sunday i spotted quite a bit but it stopped. and last night and today if i get up and move around i spot, its very faint but still there. i was cramping and now i'm not doing that much anymore. i did have sore nipples (tmi sorry) and faitgue but thats gone now as well. i did have a thought that this is a psychological thing because with both my daughters i got pregnant in October. and i had been joking with DH that we were not going to baby dance in october because i'd likely get pregnant....ok...now i feel like a 'tard..

I'm creeping up on two weeks late. Based on what my AF was last month, which was totally random. I think I'm doing this to myself, I just don't know how to relax enough to let my body do its job. Sometimes the female body sucks lol. I just got done cleaning the living room and kitchen, and now I'm cramping and of course it's getting my hopes up. I guess I'll just have to kick back and wait and see.
