Steve:
That's an incredible story! Thank god your anxiety went away, though. I don't think I could have handled what you went through.
Anyway, I have a high level of floating anxiety too. It seems to just move around my body at all times unless I take antidepressant or anti-anxiety medication. This may sound strange but...could your anxiety be "hiding" in another part of your body now, one that is less noticeable? That is the way it is for me. If the anxiety is in my stomach/colon area, or my back/chest area, it is unbearable. I can't sleep, can't sit still, can't concentrate. However, sometimes, it moves to my legs and calves. When that happens, I don't notice it as much, and I can sleep better, concentrate better, and feel less anxious. The thing with me is that my anxiety never goes away without pharmaceutical aid. It sounds like yours...maybe something just switched off in your body after such an intense panic attack, and that is why it is "gone." But wow, all day panic attacks, that's intense. I totally feel for you. I hope you find the right med or other solution to your anxiety issues.
