Answer 1

Have you talked to your doctor about this?

I suffered from anxiety and depressed pre-pregnancy so my midwife has been keeping a close eye on me.  Itend to suffer from anxiety attacks in bed at night also.. I scratchlike crazy (when there is no itch) and have to move around a lot.  My husband is good, if he's awake, and will lightly stroke my arm or something like similar to that - it makes my mind concerntrate on that feeling as opposed to the scratching.  Since i've been pregnant I have to say my anxiety levels have been pretty good.

I have some other really excellent techniques for lowering anxiety (taught to me by a psychologist) levels if you're interested let me know!

Goodluck, I hope you feel better soon.
