subconcious anxiety???

Hello all,

Sorry if this is a lengthy post...

I'm back again...i have been really proud that it had been almost a month since my last anxiety attack and then it happened again last night and i had to take a xanax...
now today i feel exhausted, and discouraged...I have been working really hard on using all the tools that Lucida recommends and it seems like that has worked day to day in holding off or stopping my anxiety from getting too high, but now i'm wondering if it's still building up and thats why i had an attack last night...
my fiance has been really good about staying up and talking to me about it...he said the one pattern he sees is that a few days before I have a trip I start getting really anxious...now i don;t feel like im anticipating it, but again, maybe i am on a subconcious level...
just like everyone else, i have a lot of stressful things in my life (i work for an airline, we are planning our wedding, we are getting our parents together for the first time this weekend), but when I am really freaking out, I can't pinpoint one thing that is really bugging me...
any encouragement or experiences are greatly appreciated...

thank you to everyone

Hi:

It seems like you have a lot of stuff going on that would be anxiety provoking for most people, wedding, parents meeting, etc.

I know I struggle with just being nice to myself about my anxiety and that makes it worse. I've been trying to tell myself "anyone would be anxious about this. I can breathe and float through it."
