Uh oh Anxiety is back

[bride527]

I have dealt with anxiety in the past and luckily have gotten through it...I have learned to manage it well and I have to say that it is pretty much gone. Well this past week i started feeling very anxious at work and had to go outside for fresh air and had to take a xanax. My dose is the lowest .25mg. I take when needed. I haven't taken one in a year. This week i took two. Not a big deal but i am wondering why it is popping up all of a sudden. I do know that it is something I can control with my thoughts and I also know that I cannot let it get the best of me. I am just wondering why it is back. any comments...bride527

Sometimes anxiety can manifest itself at the strangest times. I started having a panic attack the same day I got great news about my wedding reception hall. You think your body isnt under stress of some sort, when somewhere in your subconscious it is hidden and comes out at the most inappropriate time. Its pretty weird. I would say dont stress about why you have it. The more we do that, the more we feed into getting our attacks or anxiety. I would say the best thing to do is just focus on the moment and push it away. I know I say this now because I dont have any anxiety at the moment, but we will live through it. Its just a real pain in the butt doing so! You will be alright, and I had .25mg of xanax too, but it never worked for me I had to be put on lexapro and then celexa.
