Early childhood years.
I can remember when my older sister turned 16 (she's 7 yrs older than me). My mother was going to let her drive home and I started freaking out. Threatened to get out and walk because I didn't want her to drive over the big bridge we had to cross to get home.

I recall being a nervous kid. Even when I was very little. In my elementary school years, I was forever counting things. I remember counting cracks in the sidewalk & getting frustrated when my count would be interrupted. There was a compulsion to begin the count again):
I had my first panic attack when I was 17. It was during the senior class play in the auditorium of my HS. The fear of illness(mostly heart attacks)
I have been very nervous/anxious since I was in early childhood. I was not aware of an actual problem other than myself being "sensitive" until I was in my first year of University.
I used to have regular panic attacks when I was in highschool, but they were not acknowledged as such. My actual panic attacks have calmed down since I have spent time learning some coping mechanisms, but I still haven't been able to get rid of that all the time feeling of worry/dread/anxiety.
Take care,
El
