To give you a brief history, I had a stroke about six months ago and although I'm recovering, have all of my mental faculties and speech hasn't been affected, I still have weakness in my left leg which causes me to limp, which I'm going to physical therapy for and it seems to be getting a little better (SLOWLY). I'm counting my blessings that my stroke wasn't worse.

About 2 months ago I would start getting these anxiety atacks that came out of nowhere. What I mean I wasn't thinking about anything specific or worried about anything specific. It affects me physically as sometimes i cant't sleep when I'm having one of these episodes. I've been doing some guided meditations and exercising which seems to help a little.

What I've been reading is that trying to push away the anxiety can make it worse, and that I should just accept it. It's a really hard thing to do as I know how ****** I will feel after one of these anxiety attacks. It's like trying to not be anxious when you know you are getting sick, because you know how bad you will fee.

Anyone have any experience with this?
