I grew up with both of my parents and the
middle of 5 kids. We did stuff together
as a family all the time but weren't the
"huggy" type and didn't say "i love you
much". My parents were pretty strict, and
we weren't really allowed to have a voice
and say how we felt. My parents always
thought they knew how we felt even if we
said differently. We didn't have a lot of
money, I was really shy in school, never
had a lot of friends. I was the middle
kid and my mom did daycare so I never had
much attention from anyone. I used to
like being alone. I never talked much in
high school and was always afraid to try
talking to someone new. Nothing traumatic
happened in it. I was a very sensitive
kid, my feelings were hurt a lot. In high
school I had huge self esteem issues and
still do. That's about it.

I'm absolutely positive that your previous
life experiences don't have much to do
with your anxiety. There're other mental
conditions which correlate with negative
memories of the past, but not anxiety.
Anxiety i'm sure has a physiological basis
to it. During a panic attack, massive
amount of adrenaline is released into your
system, that's why you are willing to
scream and run for your life when it
happens. But, seeing how there's no
immediate danger, that freaks you out even
more.
But, to stay on the subject, I grew up in
a family where there non stop arguments
about the most menial things. I hanged
out with my friends a lot, did well at
school, knew many people around the town,
and didn't have to work because my parents
were rich and provided me with everything.
I learned what
depression/anxiety/depersonalization is
after a smoked pot. This condition is to
stay with me forever, though it hardly
ever manifests itself now. Still, every
now and then I get my "healthy dosage of
fun".
