Hi everyone...I would like to hear from anyone whose anxiety was caused by one single event, such as an emotional trauma.

(Mine was caused by a family member committing a felony crime who is now incarcerated. I went into total shock when it happened two years ago. Even though no one was involved in or physically hurt by his actions, I got "stuck" there emotionally. I have the facade of being cool, calm, collected and happy but on the inside I'm an anxious wreck 24/7. I don't want meds to cover my feelings up. I'm on the verge of going to therapy.)

Thanks for any info you share.
