Many people have their anxiety problems. Most ones can be more traumatic then others. One anxiety disorder called Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is one of the most common and dangerous in many ways.
PTSD accrues when a traumatic event happens in your life. Like a car accent, seeing some one die, dead body's, natural disasters, prison, abuse, rape, also loosing a close friend or family. This could come about right after the event or not until years later. It could last only 3 months or many years. People have suffered their whole life with this disorder. This can accrue in any age group. Young or old you can get this. The cause of it is unknown. It could be psychological, genetic, physical, and social reasons. Its a body's response to a stress change. This effects stress hormones and chemicals to change when being carried to the nerves. Having good social support could prevent from this to happen. The could re-experience events in several ways like dreams, memories, flashbacks, or being up set during anniversaries of the event. ("Post-traumatic stress disorder-Overview.")
Trying to get over PTSD is difficult therapy. First you got to think you are not the victim any more. YOU are a survivor or the incident. If you think you still are a victim, you are not over your ordeal. One problem is you cant think you're a survivor forever. It may rise above the victim status but you still are thinking about what happened to you. Also you must maintain your dignity and self worth. (Simpson pgs 115-121) Fighting PTSD can be very difficult and complicated. Time doesn't heal all wounds. It could make more.
