It all started in May 6 months ago. I had terrible panic attacks for 3 months straight. Never thought I would be normal again. Eventually It slowed down and i felt normal again for about a month. I mean completely normal, anxiety free.
Then something triggered me at work and I felt a ping of panic, and that set off 7 days of always being anxious. Then suddenly one day, all gone again. I'm back to being fine. I was fine for a month again.
Then again driving back from work I felt that ping of panic that fear of being alone. This time the constant anxiety lasted for a month. It was hell. Then suddenly last Sun night it was all gone. It's been all gone since (3 days now).
I have a new anxiety therapist and I will bring this up to him, but I thought I would post here. What's going on? Am I bi-polar or something?
This time when it went away it was after I visited my new nurse practitioner who was going to manage my meds. First time I had seen him. He talked to me for an hour and I think he gave me some hope with adding effexor to my meds. I cried for like 15 min when I first when in there. Let everything out.
So now i'm fine. What's going on and how do I stay fine. That's the key. Or is this how it is getting better? it comes and it goes?
