It seems like you: Know the answer. It is probably a good idea to steer away from caffeine if it makes you more anxious. It is a stimulant.

Absolutely : If you are aware that caffeine worsens your anxiety, them you should avoid it. Caffeine used frequently can be a cause of caffeine-withdrawal headaches as well. Talk to your doctor about treatment options
