When this was first posted I started thinking about it and really couldn't remember a time without anxiety... Today, however, I think I remembered when it started becoming a more constant rather than a situational thing.

I have this dog, and in middle school, we found another dog. The second was a black lab. One day it was really really hot outside and I came home and my mother asked if I had seen Hunter today. I told her I had been in and out of the house a few times, but didn't really look over there and then I was like "Why? Is he dead?". Then she said yes. I freaked out rand into the house and started crying.

My other dog is very excitable. She had to be kept on a leash and in the fence or she would get out and run all over the place. Especially during storms. She almost hung herself a few times. This led to me having anxiety any time it was sunny, stormy, or anywhere in between combined with a fear of death. I think this on top of a constant worry that I was going to be in trouble for something led to my current anxiety.
