I was diagnosed with anxiety disorder when I was younger and my main trigger would be crowds in tiny spaces (I’ll just take it as claustrophobia). However, I’ve not had regular anxiety attacks for the past 6-7 years.
During my first trimester in pregnancy, somehow my anxiety attacks came back 🥺 I was just so anxious about my pregnancy and worried about things going wrong. I noticed that it happens when I’m in a rush too. Hence I just allocate more time before heading out so I won’t subject myself to rushing and triggering the attacks. It seems to help and I haven’t experienced regular attacks since mid of my second trimester. Currently week 30 now.
It’s important to identify your trigger(s). You are doing just fine, momma! 😊
