Same here--happy childhood (ideal, really) and no major traumatic events except for the death of both my parents before I turned 30. I guess that's bad enough, but still. . . my anxiety and panic attacks and phobias seem out of proportion because I've been having it since 1995. I thought it would be a temporary thing. Apparently not. I'm on meds, and if I didn't have them, I don't know what I'd do. I think some people are just much more sensitive and high strung than others, and therefore they react a lot more strongly than, say, a laid back very mellow person would.
