((((muse)))) My panic attack symptoms are different from yours. I get nauseous and dizzy and can't swallow and feel like I'm choking. I know how upsetting and scary and frustrating it is when you haven't had one for a while, and you feel like you're getting better and then BAM! you have another one. I used to worry that if I had one, it meant that they were going to start happening all the time like before... and that would just increase my anxiety. I've realized that they're just temporary setbacks for me, though. Just because I have one today, it doesn't mean I'll have one tomorrow. I sometimes go months without having one and the periods between attacks have gotten longer and longer. I hope you can just put this down to you being human. We have triggers that can set us off when anxiety is particularly high. It doesn't mean we're not getting better.
