How to deal with anxiety?

$

So, I am hoping it's just the lupron-crazy that's driving these thoughts right now, but what have you all done to address anxiety?  Particularly if you've experienced recurrent losses or recurrent failed cycles.  My drug of choice is dancing (I'm a former professional dancer), so either teaching zumba classes or taking ballet classes keeps me stable.  But my RE says I'm not allowed to do either. I've never done an IVF cycle, this being told to "sit and gestate" is pretty unusual for me. I have had terrible experiences in yoga classes, where I have literally flashbacks to horrifying events and fallen out of poses in a cold sweat.  I can't take a walk and look up in the sky without thinking of dead babies.  My therapist is a nice lady, but seems to believe just talking through my anxiety is enough - she's a big fan of the "so what" school of thought.  To her, I should simply transfer out all of my "what ifs" (what if the FET doesn't take?  What if I miscarry anyway?  What if my cervix fails after three million D&Cs) to "So What"  Well...you can see why this "so what" school of thinking isn't calming me.  After seven losses and some of them 1:10,000 "flukes" I just feel sort of hopeless.  Again, probably just the lupron talking, but this not being allowed to exercise business is really bumming me out.  Moving to music and getting lost in it is really the only meditation I know. :(


Any help is hugely appreciated.
