Sometimes a simple explanation is the best medicine, when you understand it takes away the worry. Knowledge is power right?
Anyway just wanted to let you know the most powerful "tool" I have found is the book "Hope and Help For Your Nerves" by Claire Weekes.
I also journal everyday everything I am thinking and feeling. Sometimes I dont journal until I get ready for bed, but I have found that keeping a journal has helped me get disturbing thoughts out of my head, identify my panic triggers, gives me an outline of things to discuss with my therapist (helps you to see if there is a pattern, like I always got real anxious and had alot of PAs cause we never seem to have enough money to pay our bills every month) but until I kept a journal I never realized that my most panic attacks happened when bills were due or overdue!
Just suggestions that might help you relieve some stress in your day. Taking time to meditate and do breath exercises is very helpful too!
take care
