Suggest Treatment For Anxiety Disorder

I feel as if im loosing my mind. I have an anxiety disorder & I just recently found out i was pregnant. The panic attacks went pretty much away but now there coming back twice as bad. Im always thinking negative and really horrible thoughts! I can't help it. I get really scared. For example I feel like im trapped in my bedroom sometimes and I can't escape. I'll wake up and feel fine and have a normal day then they come back at night and I get scared again and I can't control these thoughts. :(
