Anxiety where everything and anything can set it off.

...See more I'm 28. I had really bad anxiety and panic attacks when I was 17 to the age of 19-20... mostly centering around catastrophic "what ifs". With a lot of help from cbt therapy I managed to put it all behind me... till recently. I've been off work ill for 5 years with ME but that's now in remission and I start work again this week, so I think the stress from all that is what's set it off again. My problem is anything and everything can set it off, from something I'm watching on TV right down to smells, and everything inbetween. At the moment, new or unexpected smells seem to set it off the worst, which is something that never happened before... anyone any ideas on how to combat this or has anyone had experience with smells and anxiety before?
