    Hiya

    If you're really scared about living in the area, then you really need to make arrangments to move out.

    The anxiety feelings cant be good for you and your baby. I think you need to speak to your boyfriend and try and organise something.

    I personally wouldn't stay somewhere I dont feel comfortable and can't sleep/chill in. It will sure drive me nuts.

    Take care :)

    It always takes a while to settle into a new house and get used to the new atmosphere. It sounds like you are going through lots of changes generally - moving in, having a baby etc, and this will all have an affect on your state of mind. Have you spoken to your boyfriend about how you are feeling and is there any way that you could feel more reassured by him? Sometimes just voicing your worries can help to ease them.
    You could also try some simple ways of relaxing before bed time. These articles will give you some tips:

    Sleeping easy

    Insomnia

    You might also find this Mind booklet on how to stop worrying useful.

    Overall, though, if these worries persist you really should go and chat to your GP who will be able to give you some more detailed advice.

    Hope you're feeling better soon x
