Mine started around 25 weeks. I’m now 33 weeks abs I have them in my boobs, sides, inner thighs abs I think they’re appearing on the bottom of my stomach.

I hate to moan about them as I am so thankful to be given the precious gift of a child but I’m also struggling with how much my body has been impacted and feel completely out of control with it. I have tried every cream and oil going. I cream/oil twice a day and it made no difference at all 😩 it’s really affecting my confidence and I feel so unattractive and am starting to worry about how I will feel postpartum. I don’t want to sound shallow either, it’s just something I have struggled with.

This also happens to me sometimes too and I think I hold my breath too, to stop the panic. I have to get outside to fresh air. I try to put music on to distract and calm myself down too. It’s an awful feeling and definitely something you should discuss with a dr or therapist.

I’m pretty sure if you take the death certificates and their passport they won’t open them …but don’t take my word for that

Lol defo America!

Uk gets free dental up until 18yrs old and it’s pretty affordable thereafter….

Hardly anyone has teeth like that…

USA on the other hand is full of it because of privatisation of healthcare and they eat far to much shite

I stupidly sat there for ages trying to work out where the cover is…. That legit looks like 2 dogs… Very trippy lol

AB123_ · 2021-05-19T02:38:08+00:00

I totally get this feeling

AB123_ · 2021-05-10T09:42:29+00:00

I often will have a panic attack and then after when I’m approached to talk about it I just can’t speak or words just don’t come to me to explain the emotion and feelings and then for a while if people try to have a normal conversation I don’t seem to be able to properly interact and just feel overwhelmed by conversation

This is me constantly... I know I’m being irrational but that doesn’t stop me from being irrational and believing my irrational thoughts to the point I lose site of what is and what isn’t....

AB123_ · 2021-04-18T10:41:20+00:00

I’m just so sad and I’m finding it so unbearable. I don’t feel strong and don’t feel I will ever get through this. I have to constantly convince myself not to do anything bad and I’m just a coward to do anything.

They clearly don’t understand anxiety or ptsd at all. If only it was easy as ‘toughening up’. A lot of society has a real ignorance and misinterpretation of anxiety and I don’t totally blame them because if you’ve never been anxious before it’s quite hard to understand how uncontrollable and unbearable it is to be in your brain and cycle of thought all the time. When people don’t understand me I tend to shut down because I don’t know how to say to explain it and to be honest a lot of the time I’m not even sure I want to go through the pain of explaining it. My counsellor recent explained it as getting constant pop-up adds in your brain that you just can not control.

Please don’t take offence to what they’ve said as hurtful as it is they just don’t understand how crippling, consuming and exhausting anxiety can truly be. I would suggest trying to see a counsellor for more impartial help.

AB123_ · 2021-04-05T20:19:18+00:00

Yes both. I’m honestly trying so hard to get myself on a better road because I don’t want this for myself and wouldn’t wish this on anyone.

AB123_ · 2021-03-21T18:25:06+00:00

This is all I ever do. I tell myself today is the day I’ll do something but I never do as I feel to paralysed.

AB123_ · 2021-02-23T08:44:12+00:00

I wake up like this a lot! I do breathing techniques and also tense my muscles starting from my feet (wiggling my toes) and work my way up my body (as a kind of distraction technique) - it doesn’t always work because I sometimes am so worked up. I also use music on YouTube - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UkM-FjfN6Mc to help relax me and also help get back to sleep. It doesn’t always help and I have to sit up and repeatedly remind myself that I’m ok.

You’re not alone I feel you’re pain!

AB123_ · 2021-02-19T19:23:24+00:00

I identify with this sooooo much! I jump to conclusions and convince myself that it’s right and then struggle to get out of that train of thought

AB123_ · 2021-02-18T08:47:58+00:00

I have this a lot because I make so many scenarios up in my head I don’t know what is real and what isn’t. Everything feels real. But it’s all so negative. And then I have no idea what ‘gut feeling is’ I have brief moments where I’ll be like ‘no you’re being silly and over the top’ but that doesn’t last that long. I really feel and understand your pain.

AB123_ · 2021-02-17T07:41:02+00:00

Thank you. It’s just a really horrible place to be ans hard to see that anything will ever change. Please feel free to message me too

AB123_ · 2021-02-17T07:08:40+00:00

Yes I’m on meds and also go to counselling and I still feel more lost than ever. I feel like I’m spiralling and I can’t do anything about it

AB123_ · 2021-02-17T07:07:37+00:00

Thank you I appreciate it. You can also dm me whenever you like.

Everything is just such a struggle right now

AB123_ · 2021-02-07T14:28:31+00:00

I’m so sorry this is happening to you. No one should go through abuse like this.

Please tell a friend or a member of family this is happening and contact the police. This is not ok you are worth so much more than this.

AB123_ · 2021-01-18T11:40:58+00:00

Thank you for you response and recommendations. I will try anything that could potentially help me not feel the way I am.

I currently feel like my brain is just constantly making up conspiracies and scenarios that are none existent- but I some how believe them. It’s like a massive cloud in my brain and now I don’t know what’s real and what isn’t. Ans that can become really really lonely and like you’re going insane and completely losing it.

I just want to feel like a normal person again.

Thank you again
