I'm late 30s and recently have been suffering from some pretty crippling anxiety. Never had any issues with it my entire life and there are no triggers that would have caused it.Every account I can find features either someone who suffered a triggering event or is someone who's suffered from it from some degree most or all of their life. I can't find any accounts of someone well into their life that suddenly began dealing with major episodes of anxiety with seemingly no reason for the onset. 

I'm wondering if anyone else has dealt with something similar. Not sure what I'm going to do with that information, but I guess maybe it'll help ease my mind in knowing I'm not alone if nothing else. And before you ask, I have a wonderful family, no recent losses, financially stable, I love my job, drug free, I love my life. The MHC I saw couldn't find any common trigger that could've caused it. The only thing she could come up with was a really traumatic hurricane experience I survived, but that was 3 years ago. Anways, if anyone had a sudden unexplained onset like this was it something that became part of your life from there on out? Was it something that passed as quickly as it came? Just trying to make sense of this.
