Has anyone else suddenly developed/gotten episodes of anxiety out of a single event?

I've always been a bit of a worrier (runs in the family) but a few events really set my anxiety in motion. 1. My dad left my family when I was a child so I've always had a bit of a problem with thinking that people were going to leave me

2 Part is because of a dance studio. There was a lot of drama and the studio split off into two groups. I was tricked into joining the smaller, wrong group. I literally lost every single friend that I had (it was kind of hard for me to make friends, as I was homeschooled). They started talking about me behind my back and on social media. Then to make matters worse, the side that I had joined had been completely wrong the whole time. Turns out this person had been stealing money from students for "other things" and I had no clue whatsoever. One day she just disappeared and I never heard from her. Things were really rough for a while. I was severely depressed and had my first experience with anxiety then. Then I found another studio to dance with and things got better.

  1. Which brings me to the next story. This teacher was more strict and mean than I was used to so I always was concerned about being good enough for her but other than that everything was better. Then almost the same thing happened again except this time it was some of my fellow students that did the leaving. I chose to stay with my teacher along with some others. The ones who left started saying mean things about me on social media and again behind my back, and even a few to my face. It hurt badly because I've known them since I was two. That really messed me up as well. There was a lot of shit that went on with this one. Bullying and the like. This one took longer to get over. But I did.

  2. Then just a few years ago I became a teacher there. the same teacher and I had become good friends and we did lots of stuff together. Then suddenly she just decided that she hated me and started bullying me and downing me and my choreography and saying that I wasn't good enough. I had this constant pressure to be perfect. And to her I never was ant good. She called me names, said I would never be good enough, said that the only reason that I was teaching there was because I wanted the recognition (its a tiny studio in a tiny town in GA) and that I am a show off, which I am not that type at all. From all of that, I didn't want to perform, at least by myself for a long time.

  3. My boyfriend had some personal problems at the beginning of this year so he wanted to take a little break and it devastated me. It only lasted for about a month and everything is wonderful with him now but it did cause me to me constantly afraid that he's going to leave me

And from everything I now have anxiety, depressing when its time for my cycle, separation anxiety, etc. Its definitely a struggle. Sorry that this is so long lol.
