I have had generalized anxiety disorder since I was pretty young and I also have PTSD and Depression so I feel a lot like what you describe quite often.

My therapist has neither agreed or disagreed to my self diagnosis. I get anxiety and depression because I'm afraid to die. I don't know if I have PTSD. it isn't a big issue right now but I'm always very paranoid when I'm out. I don't like to go out alone and I get terrible anxiety when my sisters are out by themselves and I'm not with them. I'm always checking if no one is following me when I'm driving or always spotting suspicious men. When I was in 7th grade, my sister and I were walking home from school and a van stopped in front of us, a group of guys opened the van's door and said "do you guys want candy?" and then my sister and I ran to our house. We were very scared. Then, maybe 3 years ago, my sisters, my cousin and I were on the street and then two men in a black car started following us, we turned the opposite way and they turned around. They made it very obvious, we ran into a liquor store and they parked outside and then we called my parents and they came to pick us up. We we came out, they were gone. We were in the store for about 20 mins. It was very scary. Now one of my biggest fears, is getting kidnapped or my sisters or mom getting kidnapped. I don't like going out in public alone or my family going out alone. I try to avoid it as much as possible. I haven't discussed this with my T yet. one of my sisters is still in HS and whenever we go pick her up, im always afraid she wont come out and i feel very anxious. this is one of the reasons why i dont want to get a job or go back to school because im afraid they'll go out alone.
