I was just wondering if anyone believes that their problem with anxiety may have stemmed from or have been learned from others. Have you noticed if your symptoms have appeared after being exposed to certain 'types' of people in your life? Being around them every day has sent you into an anxiuos frenzy? Was everything fine until then? ANY input is good. Maybe my thinking is warped??!!

It is proven that if you grow up in a household with parents that suffer from anxiety, you are twice as likely to develope anxiety yourself.I definately believe that this rings true.I remeber seeing so much anxiety in my mother.At the time I didn't understand it and I thought it was silly.However, I had anxiety myself.I never completely understood anxiety till recently.I do believe that being exposed to anxiety made me worse.
