day had been going good. watched football. stayed lazy most the day. went over to my buddies house and watched some football. as im there, kind of felt a little anxious but got past it and we went and had pizza in the town next over. felt pretty relaxed. come time to eat, i got this uneasy anxious feeling, like i shouldn't be eating this greasy pizza, but said to myself it's just anxiety and it'll pass. but on the drive back home , i started to feel like i didn't have control of my anxiety, which started to escalate to a panic attack that i havent had in a few months. got home, took my pill, and usually it'll pass. but it took a long time to pass. now i just feel like ive took 2 steps back and feel anxious since then. like its gonna happen again and again.

Are you following the program ? Unfortunately, panic attacks don't go away over night. Some people have them once in a while after the program's done. The idea is to learn how to control them, so you don't have the full-blown panic attack. It's all part of the process.
