Stevo,
I know what you are talking about. I was in what I like to call remission for 2 years. Life was good, I was happy, no panic attacks but then I had a bad reaction to the medication that was working so well for me and I had to go off of it. For the past 6 months I have had it all come back in full force. It is hard to stay positive but I try. I felt better once so I hope that it can happen again.

Yeah recovery is like a roller coaster. You will have your up periods and your down periods. All part of the patch to recovery.

erica3; thanks for writing,sorry about your mom hope she's gets better. never thought to write about my feelings and try to write about the good, i know its a set back,but i'll try. i'll let you know how i'm doing :)
hi Stevo
yeah I have had a set back this week and agree that you can sometimes be going along quite happy and suddenly you, get an attack out of the blue or an increase in anxiety.
I have found the panic diary really useful to keep reminding me that I am making progress.
Also I have found it helpful to keep a list of positive things that I did each day and even write small things down
i.e watched a film, went to the shops. This helps 'cos it reminds me of the things that I am doing, rather than thinking of the things I can't do because of the anxiety. Meditation and relaxation also help.
Also trying to catch and challenge my thoughts and sometimes giving myself a break i.e my mum's ill at the moment and that would make anyone anxious.
It takes a long time to change things, but you are doing well.
Try to think that to have had a set back you must have made progress in the first place.
Hope this helps a bit.
Thinking of you, let us know how you are doing!!!
