Panicky when feeling "normal"

[rhar]

I have been battling severe anxiety and panic attacks for 18 months now and it's only been lately that I have started feel my "normal" self again at times.

In these times I think "omg I feel normal again" and then I start to panic!!

How bloody ridiculous!!!!!

I find my anxiety and panic will come and go... And ranges in intensity. Right now I'm feeling anxiety but its low.. And I'm sipping wine and know ill fall asleep again. I've been battling it for 15 years... But self medicated for quite a few years ... Was in a very dark place for a log time before I got help. It came with a trauma for me and I have PTSD which triggered anxiety and panic.
I just try and deal with it as best a I can. I recently have tried meditation... But having kids it hard to find quiet time for it. Or I put it off. Coming here helps sometimes. When its gotten really bad I have phoned a local crisis line.
Know you are not alone and here is a good place to talk to others who understand and gain knowledge.

I get that. My anxiety is high in the morning ands when I don't have it I start over thinking why its not there....them bam there it is. Started CBT this last couple of months and that seems to be helping not overthinking it.
