  • In childhood, I was alway an anxious/worrying child .
  • During puberty(teens). Hormones changed me!
  • In my twenties .
  • In my thirties/forties.
  • With menopause(change of life.)
  • After a specific life event ie. having a child, getting married, a move.
  • After a tragic event ie. an accident,illness, death of someone close etc.
  • I have no clue how or when it happened.

I probably always had it. I know in early elementary school, I would cry for what everyone thought was no reason. But, I can recall being afraid, but never knew WHAT I was afraid of. Also, I began counting things as a kid. If I got interrupted, I would begin the count again & was very frustrated. I doubt that what I did ever seemed strange to my parents, since children are ritualistic anyway. Also, that many years ago, anxiety in children probably wasn't recognized. jan
