Irrational anxiety unwanted thoughts

Hi everyone. How many of you have problems with irrational anxiety, for example thinking that you may get something you read or heard, obsess over it? Is this called generalised anxiety? Because apparently that's what i have. Once I talk about it I usually move on to something else.

I recently got pregnant and much to my dismay it wasn't meant to be but I'm trying to get through it and be positive that I can go on and still try for another, but when I was 18 I was talked into having a termination. Some catholic lady told me some horrible things like woman who do that will later kill themselves and their kids etc, I was young and my dad was like no it's only if you've got problems.

Since then I have a ten year old, who is my best friend, I love him and couldn't imagine anything like that. I have problems now which I didn't then, I have anxiety which I never knew what that was then, and I want another baby, but it all comes back and it makes me anxious all the things that these people like to say and it's not nice to have these thoughts of what they say and not understanding why they say it

I feel I deserve a family with my new partner but I want to go into it ready and excited not anxious or confused. It doesn't make sense to me why these people say what they do, I'm more spiritual than religious but isn't lying and being manipulative a sin? I just don't get it. I'm rational enough to know that it's crap but I just want to put my thoughts somewhere and move on, I know people who've been thru what I have and are good people with happy relationships with their kids, I'm one of them but sometimes anxiety just hangs around anyway. 😒 anyone who knows what anxiety and intrusive thoughts are like, well you know it's not fun.

Hi Autumn
So sorry for your loss.. And your anxiety following this .. How very irresponsible of the person who told you those terrible things all that time ago... None of that was true just their opinions twisted in a nasty way.

Some years ago when I didn't suffer with anxiety I needed a blood transfusion and a person with their religious beliefs told me I was now a bad person.. WHAT how dare she.

But of course it wasnt true, but had I been struggling with anxiety like now I probably would have let my irrational fear try and get the better of me.
Please try and let go of those fears you are a good person a good mum and you need a bit of TLC...

Try coping skills to help relax and calm your mind which will be playing tricks with you and adds to the anxiety.. Is it possible to discuss your anxiety with a doctor to get some support.
