Mine was triggered later in life, when I was 47, and my daughter left for college. I went from 17 years of having something to do, to having absolutely nothing to do. Then I found this site :)
Anxiety disorders affect approximately 25% of all North Americans! That’s one out of every four people that experiences and anxiety or panic disorder at some point in their life. Anxiety and panic are the result of both genetic and environment factors. If a family member has an anxiety disorder, you have a higher risk of developing an anxiety disorder. You may have also had a unique experience in your life that has contributed to your anxiety as well. This may have been an embarrassing or traumatic experience or may be due to accumulated stress over an extended period of time.
About 1 in 10 people will have an elevated sensitivity to anxiety throughout the duration of their lives. For others, they may have a brief bout with heightened anxiety that will pass.
Members, is there an event in your life that you believed contributed to your anxiety? Has it been a life long struggle or something that was triggered later in life?
