unbearable anxiety and can’t stop spinning

hi!

I’m at 6 weeks after ivf and the hormones are debilitating. I’m not sleeping well and my mind is spinning out of control - especially around work. Any one else projecting onto work? I’ve convinced myself I can’t do my job or will get fired.

Hello lovely, just wanted to say I’m going through something similar. I’m really struggling with depression and my hormones being out of wack. I’m going to speak to my doctor to try and get it under control. Have you spoken to anyone about it? Sending lots of love x

I was terrible with our first. Best advice …get signed off, I wish I had done this with my first. I ended up taking some annual leave as I felt stupid speaking with a go, after all, I should have been nothing but grateful and excited 🙄 (!)The anxiety didn’t vanish but I had time to be anxious without having other external influences to worry about and it helped. I watched Netflix and spent a good amount of time on the sofa and researching things to buy for baby. Second time around I had 5 months off , partly due to horrific morning sickness, but the anxiety has been nearly non existent and I think part of this is having the time away from things xxx

Hi, like HollyT7, I also signed off. It was just too much for me & I couldn’t concentrate on anything. My anxiety went through the roof & I was convinced it wasn’t going to stay. I also felt bad about taking time off at first thinking, I should be over the moon & I managed to work through all my failed cycles so why can’t I do this.

In the end I decided this miracle pregnancy was to precious & to important to let work get 2 me & I did what was best for me.

After everything we’ve been through to get here we deserve a little time to process.

Wishing you all the best mama 💓
