I'm 8 weeks pregnant and have borderline hyperemesis. The nausea's with me almost all day. I'm eating 1 or 2 meals a day on average and just trying to stay hydrated. I already had POTS before all this so altogether just feeling shitty. I'm close to bedbound.

But I do have management in place for it. I went into the maternity hospital for hydration before and they said to come back whenever I need to. I have medication for it. I'm talking to the hospital dietitian tomorrow.

But the panic won't shut up. I ended up checking myself into the mental health hospital for a week at the start because of it. But it's not like they could really do anything for me and they weren’t really cut out to manage hyperemesis either. I was just lonely and sad.

The panic is still trying to get me to run away all the time. To go back to the mental hospital or call an ambulance. But home is the best place for me right now. I'm quite unwell, yes, but it doesn't mean I'm dying (touch wood) or that I have to lose my mind. Does it?
