Can thirteen year olds suffer from anxiety?
Hi.I'm thirteen years old and have been suffering from anxiety for two or three months, but i'm wondering if it's anxiety or something worse? Can thirteen year Olds even get serious anxiety?I've become an obsessive hypochondriac. I suffered from a series of headaches and presumed it was a brain tumor Growing pains and aches made me sure I had breast cancer I'm late a few days late for my period and after a few stomach aches i'm now sure I have ovarian cancer.Other symptoms I have are Having trouble sleeping usually nodding off at around 5AM and feeling lethargic constantly Occasional muscle twitching Seeing things out of the corner of my eye that aren't really there Obsession about sensations or getting better. Repetitive thinking incessant mind chatter . Fear of losing my mind being locked up in an asylum Wanting to sit near exits in the cinema Fear of losing control dying Constant feeling of impending doom. Craving sugar feeling lightheaded after standing up flushed skin Muscles achingI'm aware these are all signs of stress and or anxiety, but they're also symptoms of other illnesses. Do you think I have a serious illness, or should I receive counseling? Please reply ASAP.

Could this be anxiety?
Last Friday, my friends & I went out shopping. We were gone pretty much all day. Well, on our way home, we grabbed a bite to eat. It was pretty late. All of a sudden, I began feeling ill. I'm feeling fine now, but it occurred for a few days after that. I couldn't seem to get my mind off of it, unless I occupied myself. Like, if I'd go out with friends or something, I feel fine. They seem to mainly occur at night when I have nothing to occupy me. I was feeling nervous, nauseated, & I had insomnia. When I actually had the attacks, I would feel nervous, shaky, sweaty, lightheaded, & nauseated. I didn't have some of the severe symptoms like others experience. I heard there are over 100 different symptoms. And no, I'm not pregnant. I'm pure, lol.

Diarrhea from anxiety?
About once evry two months, I will have diarrhea for a week straight. I think it's because I'm a nervous person and occasionally have anxiety attacks. Could this be the cause?

I live in Houston Tx and have really bad anxiety/ panic attacks, and can't get treatment?
Its so bad that going inside big buildings almost instantly sets it off. I don't go inside walmart malls or really even smaller stores like cvs walgreens now. Everywhere I call look at is on the 2 floor of an office building and I know that I would not be able to get in there. I really think meds could help me, but I can't even get in that far to even talk to a Dr. I've asked a few for alternatives with meeting them, but they are just about their $$ and say that I just have to get over it and come see them.. I wish it was that simple lol. Anyhow, so my question is, does anyone know any phycologists that are on a flat level smaller building in or around Houston, Tx? Or have any idea how I can get help? Getting kinda desperate here, its effecting work, home life etc now.

Is there anyone else who has driving anxiety?
I am over 25 and I have never learned how to drive. I have tried to several times but no license. I was diagnosed with driving anxiety in 2005. The more practice I have the better I become. It might take me longer than others.

Do I have a type of anxiety/social anxiety disorder?
Ever since I was maybe about 13 years old 18 now Ive always felt weird around people. Its like im scared to make conversation with new people because i dont really know what to say and im afraid ill mess up my words or not make any sense to them and its like so hard for me to look people in the eyes i dont know why. Ill do pretty much anything to avoid some social contact when uneccesary, even just stupid things, from getting up in front of a class to present a project or speak, to going into a grocery store or food place to order or pay for something.Like one time in school we had a big presentation that was half our grade for the year we had to do and i stayed home from school on purpose that day just so i wouldnt have to stand up in front of everyone, so i took an F. And other times maybe ill be driving somewhere with my mom or dad and ill be starving and my parents say theyll stop so i can go in somewhere and order food somewhere and ill say no cause i dont want to go and talk to people. So ill just basically starve that day unless they buy it for me. Its like i dont want anything to do with new people.And when im in a large group I feel like everyones looking at me and how im dressed or even how i walk. Its weird. I have a lot of friends now that ive known for a while but when it comes to hanging out with new friends its so difficult for me.And when my friends I hang with invite me to hang out with them and THEIR friends too i wont cause ill feel too awkward. One of the things i hate the most is talking on the phone. I know it sounds stupid but Ive been looking for a job, and if i come a cross one where the only option is to call them i just cancel that out right away, i would have to send an application online or something. Theres a lot more to it but i just basically summarized it. But ive tried and tried and tried to act different and talk to people and i just always mess up in some way. What do you think I should do about this? Is it normal? Is it a big deal? I want to conquer this and just get over it but it seems like I cant.Hope you can help.

I don't know if I have anxiety issues..?!?
I know that I used to have it until the 6th grade, then it just went away, but I know i had it because my mom and teachers would tell me. But by the end of eighth grade year, it started up again, and has continued all through freshman year, and has gotten so bad that I'm getting allergic reactions apparently from stress , but I ignored it and told my parents they where on crack. Now its getting worse and just thinking of something that bugs me makes me cry, but I suck the tears back in and get over it.If I talk about myself for one second, like if my mom asks me whats wrong or why I'm dropping weight, I cant not cry, but I convince myself its PMS. My brother just went to the doctors for an anxiety problem and got a prescription for Xanex.My mom wants me to talk about it, but I just want a freaking prescription, I hate talking about myself. Could it be something in my genes or something like that?

Depression, anxiety or a serious illness? Please help.?
I have a constant fear of dying. It started a few months ago when I went on holiday and was scared of planes crashing trains exploding boats sinking. Everything. I thought i'd be okay after coming home but then I started getting a series of headaches, next thing I am certain I have a brain tumor. After going to the doctor she confirmed it was a sinus infection.About three days later, I became scared of the end of the world. I have no idea why but thinking about it petrified me. The fear only stopped about two weeks ago. Then I became scared of my friend being able to predict death, simply because she had a few deja vu's. I started wondering around my house at night with a knife because I was scared of murderers although I live in an extremely safe area. The only reason I stopped doing that was because my mum confessed that my behavior was freaking her out. I'm a bit late for my period, plus i'm prone to bloating stomach aches and now i'm sure I have ovarian cancer. Two days ago I was sure that I had breast cancer.I'm not sleeping, I keep crying and I have a constant fear of something bad happening. I am only thirteen years old. Is this anxiety? Do you think I could have cancer or am I a hypochondriac?Please help, i'm really scared.

Any link between anxiety and bone stimulation?
I have a cervical bone graph that isn't fusing good so my new neurosurgeon gave me a bone stimulator to use. When I used it, I had problems start like muscle twitching, nervousness and nausea. It kinda went away, but now my anxiety is kicked up. I've tried looking on the net but no answers there.I already use clonazepam for anxiety attacks, but I'm not supposed to use it all the time.... thanks tho.

Is this just anxiety?
Lately I've been having some strange symptoms and, having a history of anxiety and depression, I'm wondering if it's I'm just having a panic attack that is making itself worse due to me not knowing what is causing the symptoms. This is what I've been experiencing Prickly, tingly feelings all over my body, sort of feels like being poked with a needle, lasts only a few seconds, tends to be worse at night Increased perspiration Slight feeling of numbness in my tongue and lower lip Tingling tongue, feeling like my mouth is dry and has a bit of a metallic taste to it hard to describe Feeling a little bit weak, fatigued Difficulty sleeping, waking up tired even after sufficient rest Feeling overly aware of my own breathing Difficulty concentrating Worrying a lot, not just over these symptoms but some other things going on, mind constantly racing Turning into a bit of a hypochondriac, googling every symptom I feel and thinking it's something serious even though it's a very mild feeling and deep down I realize that it's likely not something serious Feeling depressed, aloneThese symptoms have been coming and going, they'll be there for a week or two, then go away for a while. The first time they happened I saw a doctor and they said my lungs and heart sounded fine and my blood pressure was a little high because I was nervous but otherwise it was normal, and they dismissed it as a panic attack which just made itself worse because I didn't know what was going on. What I'm wondering is, if these symptoms I've described are indicative of anxiety so I can at least have a little peace of mind.

Could it be that I'm Over Medicated,Anxiety,Allergies,COPD, or something else?
i'm sorry that this is a long question. i am experiencing sudden feeling of fast pulse heart beat, shallow breathing difficulty getting that deep breath and sometimes " SOMETIMES" food pills feel as if stuck in chest throat area for hours and feeling more comfortable sitting up than laying down in bed. i also have sudden spells of shortness of breath sometimes when watching tv and worse when i do try to do some kind of activity like walkseveral months ago i diagnosed w acid reflux, esophagus, gastritis, & colitis. meds per scribed were nexium, zegrid, and for gastric spasms dicyclomine. These sudden symptoms are still occurring.i've now been to cardiologist he ordered resting stress test echo. he saw 2 abnormality's & ordered cardiac cauterization w results of a 20 % build up of plack in 1 area. meds per scribed aspirin and bystolic is for the sudden pulse heart beats. aspirin may be causing more gi symptoms. since 2007 i see psychiatrist for depression anxiety monthly and therapist weekly. currently been taking for maybe 1 year burpropion and 2 years alprazolam xr 1mg & regular alprazolam .5mg one to two a day.i still have these symptoms or flair up's every week and i wonder if the meds could be cause of these symptoms. OR could it be anxiety attacks or what? im afraid if i keep seeing DR's to find out what is happening w me that medicare medicaid will stop covering my medical bills. i would like to stop some of the meds but i know that i have to be weaned off alprazolam and burpropion. i need some help here. what to do?thanks for any advice
