No, besides the alzheimer's that my grandmother developed after my grandfather died years ago, there is no history of mental illness in my family to my knowladge. Maybe I need to mention that I've been up in the town where I go to college all summer. I'm not enrolled in summer courses, and have failed to find a job so far after spending much time looking. I've had far less social interaction than usual and am mostly cooped up with myself all day. I recently got a traffic ticket which I am hardly able to pay for and my sleeping habits have become horrendous. I am wise enough to understand that those factors could contribute to any anxiety that I am feeling currently, however I've been in similar or worse circumstances before (pre panic attack) and not had this sort of reaction. Could that one episode have changed the way I deal with stress?
