I have Generalised Anxiety Disorder, and have suffered several completely debilitating panic attacks[1] during my adult life. I can tell you now, it is NOT an asset, no where close. Without my daily drug regimen, I cannot function normally; the mere thought of anything stressful will completely push me over the edge.

What you are calling anxiety is not anxiety, it's merely being hyper-aware, helped along with a small dose of Adrenalin.

[1] real ones, where you curl up into a ball, shaking, crying and wishing you were dead, whilst simultaneously completely believing you are dying.

I'm very sorry you are experiencing panic attacks, but you are arguing from marginal cases.

It is possible to be predisposed to anxiety without ever having a panic attack.
