Q: Pregnant And Social Anxiety

asked by: Pocket Angel on August 21st, 2005

I have severe social anxiety but I have had control over it for the past 2 years or so, without any medications. It used to be so bad, that I couldn't go to the mall and didnt really want to go out and eat, not even go to the movies. It all actually stems from my fear of getting sick in public. I would be so scared to get sick, that I would make myself sick.

Has anyone had a problem that has come back to them once they are pregnant? I know it could be because I really am sick and I just dont want to go anywhere, but its turned into full blown anxiety... Shortness of breath and full blown panick when I am out in public. :?:
