hi phillipa,
this year, for 1st time since 1979, i would have to say i DO have nervous variety typical depression. so, yes, now, some anxiety. it fluctuates, though. it was very bad late last fall.
it is based on life events - not endogenous.i had not had panic attacks since 1987 (age 35); i have now had 1 since october, but was somehow able to not go into the old obsessive thinking that i would then be sure to have more. i've had no agoraphobia since 1979, but it is on my mom's side of family - they always said make sure you get out of the house - no matter what - once a day. they were right, i've found.
just fyi, although i used to be able to handle the little cold w/milk starbucks you can get at drugstores, i could never once handle a single hot, made-to-order starbucks at a bookstore/ other.
my canadian friend tells me that the tim horton's coffee shops are friendlier re: anxiety
