> That was probably one of the most interesting posts I've read in a while. I've always thought I had the unanticipatory type of anxiety/panic; it just seems to come out of nowhere. But this is very confusing to sort through. Do you know any resources that further articulate the 2 supposed types of anxiety? I've never heard of this before and would like to read up on this. thx.

> One of the reasons i'm confused I thought I had the unanticipatory type of anxiety is because it wouldn't explain how I can have this anxiety but handle stressful situations at work and acute crises so effectively, and much better than working in a non-stressful environment or dealing with more protracted, chronic problems. So if I had unanticipatory anxiety rather than the other type, it seems this would not be possible, while anticipatory anxiety would better explain it because I would be dealing with "the present"? Or am i totally lost here?

its more of a worry prior to doing something and avoiding it, vs. panicing once you're in a stressful situation adn wanting to exit it. what-ifs ahead of time, or AHHHHH! during.
