I've always had ADD, but the others derived from traumatic experiences I've lived though.
When I was young I was attacked by a dog, it lashed out because it had a terrible ear infection that I was aware of, I got away with a minor injury to my hand. However the next week my younger sister went over to pay with the same dog, worried I got mom to come with me to take her away only to arrive to see her on the ground with the dog's jaw around her next and blood everywhere. She was raced to the hospital and underwent surgery, lucky the dog's fangs missed any vital veins. Thus my fear of dogs, my sister developed a fear of doctors.
--
The social anxiety came from a bad experience at school that caused me to become insecure about myself and who I was.

All of these I had the power to conquer and so I did, it took a long time and a lot of work but I am no longer anxious about how other people see me, or that the neighbor's dog, who is nine pounds, is going to brutally slay me. <3
