jacq, I have OCD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, but my constant anxiety is my biggest problem. In daily life I carry constant tension to the point that my hands always shake. This has been the case my entire life so it is largely chemical. My point is, nothing triggers me, I'm not worried about anything specific, I'm just always anxious (and through a variety of coping mechanisms, I've learned to live my life this way).
As to your second question, I don't know. I can't relate directly to the experience you describe but it does sound like you had yourself pretty worked up.
Oh, and I focused on my depression and PTSD for years so tackling the anxiety and OCD issues are pretty new for me as well.
