Anxiety Episode Severity

[edgyboy]

Over the years, i have cronicled my anxiety episodes and documented severity and duration. It appears that the duration and severity differ from event to event. I am not talking about anxiety attacks. i am talking about the month or so of living in HELL while this progresses through its course.

This latest "event" seemed to be wining down a couple of weeks ago as I was sleeping better and feeling back in control. However, last week I had an upset that started the whole cycle over again with a vengance! I know anxiety is always there in the background waiting for something to trigger it but I thought I had it controlled.

A simple argument set it off again along with the anneversary of my Dad's death.  Now the sleepless nights and worrying days have returned. i do get a glimmer of sunshine once in a while knowing i had it controlled for a couple of weeks. Anyone ever have the same happen to them?

Also, is there any documentation on whether anxiety episodes have the same severity or are they all the same and its just how we react to the perticular episode? Obviously, the duration depends on how long we keep it going or fueling the fire.

No I am not in therapy but I once was years ago. I feel like I have some of the tools needed to deal with this condition as I have over the years.

A date, like your fathers death can definitively trigger anxiety. An argument can too. Are you in therapy?
