I have had anxiety/depression for the last 15 years. During this period I have had it come and go, come and go. This last time I was free for about 4 years and then wham...it came back. When it came back it wasn't full force like it was in the very beginning but it was there enough to knock me for a loop. I kept feeding the fear by worrying I would be like the very first time I had it. For me I think what happens is over time I forget to take care of me....proper sleep, proper nutrition, exercise, quiet time...etc. Something else I do is hold in things that upset instead of talking them out. Pretty soon those little things become huge issues and I am ready to explode with anxiety.

As I am reading, learning, and putting into practice what I am finding out about myself I believe I will be on the path of relief again. As desperado said we need to look and recognize the triggers.
