My question is do you have a diagnosed anxiety disorder?
I was diagnosed with PTSD many years ago along with being bi-polar. I've gotten pretty good at getting to know myself over the years and keeping things in check. As much as I lead a pretty normal life, I realize anxiety will always be a part of it. After I had an ocd creep in on me last year though (eating, chewing ice) and a recent move to a new town I figured it's a new way my body has decided to cope with the onset of added stresses. Last fall my doctor had simply agreed that I was probably right, but never offered me any corrective advice (other then ice eating was bad for my teeth).
