No, I don't have general anxiety issues. In fact, I am quite calm in horrible situations... I do tend to get anxious when dh is away, here in the UK because I don't really have a safety net of people. But it isn't anything that I feel is overbearing, more like when I am gonna get a break from these lil monters type feelings....
I think it affects people differently, just because you had an alcoholic father as well and are not affected by this doesn't mean it isn't there. My brother for one, who grew up in the same situation is fine. I was actually shocked to see that about 1 in 10 people suffer from this.
