Anxiety Seasons: Anxiety can be quite high during holiday times as well as times of beginnings, endings, or transitions. It is common for anxiety to come at "anniversaries" of past trauma or loss. Then, anxiety becomes triggered by anything that reminds us of those old hurts such as places, people, smells, sounds...almost anything. You can work this through though, especially with the help of a good counselor.

I would go to a: psychologist or psychiatrist and check for depression, as in 75% of major depression cases, anxiety accompanies. SAD is Seasonal Affective Disorder, which means more depression when there is less seasonal light. If your anxiety ties to depression, then, yes, you will have more of that, too, in winter. Your timing is good as we are only three weeks out from the shortest day of the year.

Therapy?: Winter is often hellish for some people. Have you yet tried any form of psychotherapy? Typically, the optimal combination of things to treat emotional issues such as anxiety as you describe depression is medication (which, on your best day, is supposed to take the edge off symptoms) but the real gruntwork takes place in psychotherapist's consulting room.
