If this started with traumatic events, the professional you should be seeing is a psychologist who specialize in anxiety treatment -- most don't. Most of us with anxiety disorders haven't a clue as to why they're there, but if you know your origin story you have something solid to work on getting past in therapy. Now, I'm assuming the events were the trigger and you weren't suffering anxiety before they happened. PTSD is a very particular diagnosis and has treatments that are different from those with other anxiety disorders. But to truly know if you have it, you need to see a professional who knows how to diagnose it, and a doctor isn't that person.
