I started the panic program less than a week ago. I also started reading a book about panic at the same time. Something clicked in my head and for 4 days I felt like a normal person. Panic and anxiety were not a part of my life at all. No fearful thoughts came and I was practicing what I'd learned. I felt good and wondered how panic could ever return. Driving down the road last night, out of nowhere, I had a horrible panic attack. I wanted to jerk the car into the ditch it was so bad. I pulled in a subdivision and drove slowly thru it. I practiced the thinking techniques that I had learned and that helped. On the return trip 20 minutes later, I had another attack in the exact same spot. Took an ativan and then the anxious thoughts calmed. Now I am very concerned that this will happen again & again. And I am a delivery person, I drive over 8 hours a day! What bothers me most was that there was no warning sign of the attack at all. Is it normal for one to have such a severe setback when I feel like I've made great progress in changing the way I think? Could my own mind be sabatoging me?
