Samantha, A change in your panic cycle isn't uncommon. Many factors can influence you panic. E.g. stress, chemicals, surgery, childbirth, accident, illness... Please start working through our CBT program. It is located in your session diary and will teach you what you need to know about panic disorder and your panic cycle. Welcome aboard!

Well Samantha, I dont know if i have any tips for the depresonnalization or derealization. But i can tell you that my anxiety "changed up" over the years as you put it. Some symptoms left and some new ones came. Some things that made me nervous dont and new ones do. I have been coping with anxiety (GAD and Panic attack disorder among others) for over 15 years. Now dont be alarmed i have had very good runs where i was happy and had no meds and was highly functionnal. But in december i experienced a relapse due to many many many accumulations of many stressors. And the panic cycle came back with the anxious thought and the avoidance and the behaviors... But inoticed that my symptoms were not exactly as before and i had some old ones missing and some new ones appearing. But i guess it is normal. Our life situations are different and presnet different triggers to us then they used to. We have changed and so have our bodies. I guess the importnat thing is to remember that is it your anxiety and your panic talking and to just focus on working the program and getting that anxiety under control and telling it : Hey i am taking my life back!" I was told in the last few days on this very site by very wise people. Don't focus so much on labeling your symptoms ( i do that a lot lol) and just keep identifying and fighting those anxious thoughts. Anyway, i am getting way off track on this post as in way off of what you were asking lol Sorry i ramble sometimes! I just wanted to let you know that i personnally beleive it is normal for symptoms to change and change up. It has happened to me. I figured it was just because hey , well i changed and so did my life, so why not my symptoms? I hoped this helped you in some small way even tho i rambled and went off track with this post. Anway, take care and hang in there! Always here for you. -Diva

I don't know if anyone else feels like this but I felt like sharing. When I was a kid I would get attacks, sometimes out of nowhere and sometimes from a thought or situation and I had minor GAD that I just kind of dealt with. Now I have constant worry for no reason. I know that there is nothing wrong and I am not dying, but I still get super anxious. I also get some attacks because of thoughts or situations and I feel like I am going to die. Oh yeah I also feel the unreality that people talk about. I've never really had it before and it drives me crazy. Any tips? Is it normal for the anxiety to just change up like this? Sorry for the rambling.
