Lapsed into Obsessive Scary Thoughts-Help Please

For about a 6 months period I had been going through a very stressfull time. I was able to keep a lid on everything even during very stressful regular work too,I used my coping skills. I had what I call mini-episodes of scary thoughts or panic attacks which I was able to put into check pretty quick. Anyway, I had for lack of better words a breakdown or snap at the end of the 6 months from all stress of trying to deal with the major stressful issue and I just lapsed back into an anxiety cycle. I did finally deal with the issue and was happy about it the result, but am still in a recurring cycle of what if, scary thinging and it is freaking me out. I know I will come out of it, but it sure is scary when you go through it. I signed-up for 4 sessions of coaching with Stress Center yesterday and am looking forward to getting over this nightmare of anxiety. I know it is a mindset, but you just get so scared when you keep having obsessive scary thoughts. Like am I crazy? why am I still doing this to myself? Anyway, I would love to hear from a coach on my story and their thoughts. Anyone else have stress cause anxiety like this?
