Not Again.....

It seems like everytime I "think" I have the panic attacks under control, they come back with a vengeance. The thing is that I have them for a while... start learning the triggers, find a way (cbt or otherwise) to get over them. .... then they later come back, but each time something is different... they will be something new. It can be that my anxiety is more health-related, or perhaps my muscles get tense to the point of being sore, or for a while there, driving caused me to have terrible panic. It's almost as if, when I find a way not to panic for a while (usually a matter of 1 -2 months), my mind and body are trying to find new ways to make me panic.

Hi

Sorry to hear your anxiety is becoming more problematic again as SC mentioned it does tend to come and go and can become a real pain in the butt. It does sound like you have the skills from CBT to use and you have found them effective which is a good sign and shows that you know your anxiety well and how to beat it.

It is important to take one small step at a time and remember that we all get setbacks but try not to beat yourself up and remain in the moment the best you can.

Take Care
