I've had a pretty great week, anxiety has tried to get at me a couple of times but I have managed to accept and float through it and it never amounted to anything. I've been back to my old self really, doing all the things I previously enjoyed with no fear. It feels like a storm that's stopped raging and I am noticing it not there and it feels odd. One little annoyance though is one particular what-if thought. "What if this comes back again" Ok I know how to handle it if it does but still it was a pretty dark place I was in for a couple of months and certainly wouldn't want to go back there.
I know recovery takes time but this was different prn't my first dealing with anxiety, No about 20 years ago I had a rough time for about a year with panic attacks, had to give up my job as I became agoraphobic, 24/7 DP. I am looking at this recent episode as a setback as it certainly wasn't as bad as my first episode so I am hoping if it does return again it won't be as bad.
Any thoughts on this folks?
