Can anyone relate?
When you've had anxiety for so long, the mind plays trick on you. It tries to make you remember that you've done stuff and had panic attacks in the past. It's always looking for a way back in, and it's all part of recovery. Just acknowledge the sensation, and get on with your day. You won't 'tip' back into anxiety providing you don't add fear to the sensation.
