i realised that I had anxiety a few years ago when I described what I thought was normal to my older sister and she told me I had anxiety. It's only getting worse and I'm beginning to feel depressed and am having random panic attacks as well. Although I don't remember undergoing any trauma, I get really bad anxiety when being touched or when I'm naked. In my early years I spent a lot of time around a lot of dodgy characters.

Talking openly to your sister about it is also a good start. So is coming to this forum. When we bottle our anxieties up it just makes it worse. I wish you all the best. My heart is racing and my hands are shaking as I write this, so I truly understand what you are going through.

I guess with your fear it would make your Anxiety worse because you mind starts thinking of many possible scenarios why you could feel this way.
Maybe if you we're comfortable you could talk to your sister about your fears, she sounds pretty clued up. Anxiety is a horrible thing that feeds off its self. Hang on in there. X

Trauma from childhood can really shape your mind in your adult life.
However, whatever you have been through in the past can be healed with the help of a councelling psychologist. I would strongly suggest seeing a psychologist they will be able to help you enormously without the need for medication. See your GP by all means, however, often they are not too clued up on mental health problems and may just suggest medication. This may help mask the symptoms but is unlikely to benifit you in the long run. Find a good psychologist and work with them to heal your past and move forward with life.
- Life's a challenge, embrace it and enjoy it!!!!!
good luck
