What are your first signs that you’re about to relapse/panic attack/etc?

For me, I get the horrible "hone sick" feeling. That is when I know my anxiety is about to come full swing. I don't want to be alone, but no one gets rid of that lonely feeling. I hate it!

This is interesting, because I went through a phase of whenever I felt myself becoming anxious, I would yearn to just drive to my childhood home and go to sleep there for a few days.. for like a reset. I just wanted to go 'home'.

I don't know if you have seen but I have actually made posts about always being extremely nostalgic for my childhood.

My childhood was such a safe time, it doesn’t surprise me that I get nostalgic for it. Was yours the same?

I had a loving family that I was blessed with...the times I'm nostalgic for was during a divorce where many would consider a bad time however that age range of 12sh to 15sh is the time I'm primarily nostalgic for. I'm 40 now.

For me it doesn't happen all of a sudden. I notice my mood changes. I'll be more emotional or feel more depressed a few days before I have a relapse. I'll also start ruminating on my anxious thoughts more than usual when normally I can push past it.
