Pregnancy and Anxiety

[daveets4]

I just found out I'm pregnant and I'm terrified. I was diagnosed with GAD a Panic Disorder a few months ago and that itself turned my life upside down and now there's this. I'm not sure how to even handle both at once. Just finding out has spiked my anxiety through the roof. And I can't imagine that being good for either of us.

Another thing is that I haven't been able to work because my anxiety has been so bad and now with this I know I can't really afford to have a child. But it's also against what I believe in to abort it. But that's also exactly what my husband wants. This "problem" to be gone.

I'm so lost and asking for advice, if there are any places for help, any programs etc. I'd love to know how other women did the a similar situation, or how they delt with a baby and anxiety at the same time. Because I'm feeling very alone and scared right now.
