anxiety during early pregnancy

Anyone else have been dealing with anxiety during the first trimester? I have been having bad anxiety and panic attacks on and off for over a week. I am 6 weeks pregnant so I can't take anything other than Zoloft. Hope it helps. They say it's all the hormones and change my body is going through. Just haven't felt myself.

I am thinking of looking for a yoga class. I do breathing, walking, activities that take my mind of things (I like painting or scrapbooking)..talking to someone and PRAYING. Sometimes these things help sometimes I just have redirect my mind... One of the doctors says my body is going through a lot of changes with hormones and all and since I already was anxious, it kinda got worse. But it will calm down.

I have generalized anxiety disorder. Badly.  But I don't take medicine.  Best suggestion is trying breathing exercises and talking really helps.

I've had anxiety since I was 14, best thing to do is go into a dark secluded room, or quiet place. Meditation is best to. Medication is just going tk make you feel down, and tired 24/7. Not to mention other side affects. I drink sleepy time tea too with lemon and honey and it works wonders
