My worst anxiety and panic attacks came when I was repressing something. Of course when it was happening I didn't see that. I had a bad marriage with abuse but I kept thinking I could handle it. It of course came out in panic attacks at /in strange places..Of course I did not think it had anything to do with trying to cope with something horrible. I pretended all was o.k. so it came out with major anxiety. I learned eventually "to thine own self be true".......
