Feelings are an odd thing....

[Congo90]

I have been feeling quite fantastic the last few weeks. My psychologist has been really pleased with my progress with my anxiety and panic attacks, but, the last few days I have been feeling tense and my thought process is shifting! Do you think this is a normal behavior? I knew i wouldn't be feeling sensational forever, but I was hoping that the feelings may last a little longer.

I have suffered anxiety since the age of 5, I know my anxiety well, we are good friends, but I'm not sure as I have never had a breakthrough with being okay for such a long period of time!

Hi Congo and welcome,

i find my anxiety comes and goes. It may return because of a trigger, or something happening that's upsets me and then it passes and the cycle begins again.

are you aware of things that trigger your anxiety, has anything happened of late that may have caused it to flare up?

wishing you the best.

Hi Congo

Welcome to our forums. We hope that you find them useful.

Thanks for sharing what is going on with you. It is great that you are so in touch with what is going on with you. It is also great that you had a fantastic period and I am sure that will come back.

Similar to CMF, when my anxiety flares up I ask myself what triggered it. However sometimes there is no trigger, it is simply living with our illness. It is unpredictable and inconsistent.

On an ongoing basis, what do you do to manage your anxiety?
