The fact that after you took the Xanax you were able to relax and go back to sleep is a sure clear sign that it was just your anxiety kicking in to high gear and most likely from thoughts you were having the very day of the anxiety attack or even the day before the attack occured. Can you possibly take some time out and see if you can pinpoint a stressor that you may have had that afternoon or before going to bed? Here is where the program is indispensable because it will help you to get a handle of the negative thinking that is actually at the base of what happened here. And most of the time we are not actually even aware of the negative thoughts seeping into our minds. Once you have completed the program the panic just won't come anymore, even if you tried to make. And that usually happens after only a few sessions of the program.
