I will do some research and see what I find regarding depression.
The extreme anxiety makes some sense, which makes me look back to stress. I'm simply stressing out over the potential of new and/or unusual situations.
That kind of thing is not unprecedented in my family. I've been told my grandmother has trouble taking a different route to the grocery store (though the stress manifests itself in a different way for her).
Thanks for the insight. If I get more information that seems to supports the idea of depression, I'll probably PM.
