Hi there
Have been through a big bout of anxiety recently and was starting to think I was coming out the other end. Just wanted to know if it is normal when you are getting better to still have moments when the anxiety seems to engulf you giving you a sense of real fear. For instance, I have just got back from town and as I was driving home the feeling swept over me. I get scared that it's gonna get really bad again and that I'm never going to get back to my normal self.
As I said in a post yesterday I seem to be on edge and not quite 'right', but going in the right direction. Then I get these horrible feelings where my stomach lurches and the heat of fear floods through me. More often than not I am just pottering around. I also find that memories can set me off - memories of the last few weeks of feeling bad. Does this make sense to anyone out there?
