17 years old, crazy panic attacks through this whole pregnan

posted 15th Sep
I've always had anxiety. But I've never had it so bad to the point where I get a really bad panic attack wherever I go.
It's keeping me out of school, I'm sometimes afraid to even go to my prenatel checkups, and the other day I went to the mall with my sister and I got one.
They come out of no where and I can't live my life like this. I am 25 weeks pregnant, and these panic attacks all the time have been happening for the past month.
I think I have a panic disorder. It's even making me have second thoughts on keeping the baby, I can't take care of a child when I can't even leave the house without having a panic attack. So I've been thinking about adoption. It breaks my heart because thats the last thing I want to do, but I'm so hopeless. All this anxiety is making me depressed and I don't know what to do.

What should I do?

(p.s I live in Arizona I don't know why it says I live it Japan.. )

next B appt I would talk to them. If you can't go because of one of your attacks I would call them and speak with the nurse. They have meds that help with panic attacks. Your OB will be able to better inform you.

Congrats and welcome to BG. I have heard anxiety can worsen with pregnancy but it gets better when you give birth. Did you speak to your OB about it? Have you seen anyone for it? You can take meds and it will help. A lot of people suffer from anxiety, it doesn't mean you can't ever be a parent, you just need the right meds to control it.

This is called agoraphobia. You need to see a psychiatrist.

I have anxiety and panic attacks. They are manageable if you talk to a doctor. they can be a lot worse with pregnancy but it will get better. I have 2 kids and one on the way. So you can be a parent despite these issues. Good luck.
