What are we most afraid of?

[Hooligan1214]

I am so sorry you feel this way. And as a woman I completely understand all your worries and anxieties about these things. You are in such a vulnerable state right now, and all this problems you are worried about, society and media pushed on us women.
Enjoy your pregnancy, and when the baby comes you can lose weight if you decide to, and as for the sexy stuff...there are many things you and your partner can try, and make a fun thing experimenting with all kinds of things. There are exercises you can do, after the baby is born if you are worried about situation in nether region..
Have you tried talking to your partner about this? Just to get out of your head.
Sometimes I spiral out, instead of talking things through. I lose days worrying, and over analyzing and making a huge deal over something about my BF.. and most of the time, it was all for nothing. The thing is when anxiety hits you, you cannot trust your thoughts, because anxiety makes things a little skewed

Thanks for your response...and yes, he's aware of most of my paranoias and the spiral is what gets to me. Most days I can keep things in perspective, but then every once in a while my brain just sends these messages overriding any reassurances I or he could supply. But thank you for all your suggestions and thoughts

Ugh...my list is so, so long that it is hard to narrow it down. I fear I will never be ”normal” (i.e. living free of anxiety and worry) meaning that I will never find success, happiness or independence of any kind. I also am very afraid of and obsess over things I cannot control the outcome of...which is why I have never been on a airplane, why I quit driving many years ago and why I am worrying about a pending storm that is 3 days away.
