Answer 1

it sounds like you've had a number character building experiences- which are never easy and can be painful. life is certainly not easy. being prone to anxiety can make it even harder. i think your best bet is to visit the doctor that you know best or your regular doctor. your regular doctor can probably prescribe some of the more common anti-anxiety medications or refer you to maybe a psychiatrist if that seems appropriate as well. the symptoms you describe can all be consistant with general anxiety. you seem to recognize the correlation between the degree of your symptoms and your anxiety. keep your chin up.  

good luck to you =)
