[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a difference between being "a nervous wreck" and having clinical anxiety/unmanageable stress that's causing physical harm.

I think being a nervous wreck or just stressed is normal, though maybe not ideal.

Honestly, it sounds like you have not recovered from your anxiety, and now you are just anxious about how anxious you were. I know it's hard to let it go, but I think you just have to let it go. You are presumably getting high quality prenatal care and doing the best you can. That's all you can do.[/quote]

not really helpful. Thanks[/quote]

I tried to be clear upfront.  My question wasn't about assessing what kind of stress I have. Maybe I do have clinical anxiety (?) so 1) its not helpful to know that it can cause physical harm - I already know. And I also didnt ask what I should do about it. Its obviously not easy to just "let it go" when its a legitimate issue and I am in therapy about it.  I was pretty explicit in my question about positive outcomes, so not sure why you are chiming in to this thread. Thanks[/quote]

Sorry. It sounded from your post like you were more like the typically stressed first time mom vs. someone with panic attacks, etc. i think you're hearing a lot of "positive stories" from people with normal first time mom stress. Maybe you should ask for positive stories from people with clinical anxiety?[/quote]

Everyone has been really very helpful. Please stop. Again, who asked your advice? [/quote]

Amazing. These posts from people have done a great deal of help for me, which was the point. Then you come back and say "sounds like they don't have what you have?" I really don't understand negative, unhelpful people like yourself. Seriously.  Toxic"[/quote]
