Cathi,

In most instances people who struggle with panic have "triggers". Some examples of triggers would be: extreme stress, a major illness, loss of a loved one through death or divorce or other, major life changes like college graduation, even marriage.

Being aware of what your triggers are, and taking good care of yourself physically and emotionally can help to keep you well. Doing things like monitoring your stress level, exercising, enjoying some sort of quiet time, and (for me anyway) spirituality, I believe these are all vital to one's good mental health.

But if by some chance you should relpase, you have already recovered, so you know your way back. You know what works for you. And if you need more help, well, there is so much available in the way of recovery.

I'll keep a good thought for you!
