I have had anxiety off and on for over 30 years. Dispite this condition, i have lived a pretty normal life.
My anxiety has always hit me after stressfull periods or life changes. some episodes last about a month or longer and the severity differs depending on the stress level.
For me, panic attacks are not about physical health. It is more about control and fear of losing my mind (although I never have). An attack for me begins in my stomach with aches followed by an adreniline rush that spreads throughout my body. This is followed by derealization and weirdness. After these attacks, I worry constantly, feel lost and find it very difficult to keep from worrying whether I am going crazy or not.
I have beat this condition many times and always believe that I have it beat and it will never return only to be blindsided at some time. I was once anxiety free for 6 years.
Please post a reply if you have similiar anxiety.
