I have an anxiety disorder now and am in my 20's. When I was about 6 or 7 it started. I was terrified of being left in the car alone, I wouldn't go upstairs alone and I'd make someone wait outside the door when I went to the toilet. I was never sexually abused that I know of.
It could possibly be a severe form of PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder).

"Everything I read about the Clonazepam anxiety medication said that Clonazapam is used to treat seizure disorders and anxiety panic attacks. I had never had a seizure in my life so I couldn�t understand why this would be a good choice for me. I asked my doctor why he picked this particular medication."
Mike�s doctor explained to him that Clonazepam belongs to a class of medications called benzodiazepines, which act, on the brain and nerves (central nervous system) to produce a calming effect. This calming effect can be very helpful in controlling panic attacks.
While some people have reservations about using medication to treat anxiety, there are millions of Americans who could not function in their daily lives without the assistance of medication.

Physical and mental activity really helps for anxiety treatment.

My dog has severe separation anxiety; he freaks every time someone leaves the house (friend or stranger, even if I stay).
I tried discipline, reassurance, rewards for calm, nothing works.
The panic attacks and barking are upsetting for him and me. I am stay-at-home mom to him, walk him 4/5 short walks/day, have another dog he gets along with. I just don't know what to do about this really bad separation anxiety.

Here are some suggestions to cure your anxiety:
Remember there is a LOT of blood in your body, which will be replaced immediately when a tiny amount of it is taken out for testing.
Watch programs like Nip Tuck before going to give blood. It is all made up artificially and is hysterically funny. If it bothers you watching the false stuff, just think that at least you aren't going through that and giving a bit of blood is not so hard after all.

Well, I certainly don't live in a war zone, but there is enough coverage of the war to make anyone squirm.
I basically read the newspaper to avoid the talking heads on TV yelling at each other to advance their own political agenda. And, when reading the newspaper, I try to read only the news, and not the editorials and columnists.
This way, the news comes in a bit more focused and I can zoom in on reality rather than dwell on hysteria and fall into stress and anxiety.

Anti Anxiety Medication and School
My doctor told me that it wouldn't be a good idea for me to begin anti anxiety medications while I was still in College because it can mess with me more than help.
I don't agree with your doctor.
I would recommend starting them between semesters, though, because they affect everyone differently, and some of them can be not so great.

What kinds of therapy are good for anxiety disorder?
It really depends on the root cause of the anxiety disorder, as anxiety can be caused by all sorts of things. For people whose anxiety is purely chemical, pharmacotherapy is usually the way to go, though some do benefit from talk therapies and the like.
For trauma-based anxiety disorder, the best way to treat the anxiety is to process the underlying trauma(s). In dealing with the memories and restructuring cognitive distortions, the anxiety usually disappears as part of the process.
