I just looked at all the symptoms of anxiety and i am pretty sure that is what i have and this other thing from not getting enough sleep with is probably also true b/ c i never get a good night sleep. How can i find out what Anxiety i have so i know how to treat it? My mom just took me to the doctors for my ear but now i learn that its from anxiety my mom wont take me back to the doctors b/ c we don't have insurances yet b/ c we are waiting to get on some. Do i really need to go the doctors for this ? My mom always knows that something is wrong with me so this is probably what i have and as you know moms know best. And my moms seems to be always right so ya. So how can i get rid of this Anxiety crap i never had it this bad b4 i would just worry and worry and worry about storms and when my mom went out or to work i would not worry unless some one else is there. All my life i had people by my side b/ c i am in a wheelchair and on oxygen. Is there any way i can get rid of this b4 i go to this concert on next Saturday ? I don't know if i should talk to somebody or what we tried talking to somebody a long time ago i forgot for what but i remembering it didn't help. Thanks i need some help i want to get rid of these annoying symptoms. I think my Anxiety has became worse i don't know what i am going to do when i move out and i want to so i need to get over this a.s.a.p i am 16 right now. This started about 3 weeks ago could this be exsiement Anxiety ? b/ c i am going to a concert for one of fave singers/ band. But i never had this b4 for a concert. Thanks i am sorta happy that its just Anxiety b/ c i thought it was cancer or something serious like that. But other hand Anxiety can ruin you life to if don't learn how to cope with it. lol my mom yelled at me for looking on the interent about my symptoms y i don't know. I am going to my pedatriac doctor in a moth and hopefully they will get me some stuff to help my Anxiety.

Anxiety can be very annoying and it comes with different symptoms (actually there are over 100 symptoms of anxiety) but I do not want to get into details because we really don't need to know all the symptoms. The best thing to do is to go to the specialist in Mental Health and talk to him/ her about your symptoms now that they just started. Don't be afraid of visiting a psychiatrist or therapist, all that they do is to take care of one part of your system that needs some attention. Remember that your organism uses the symptoms to call for your attention. I know this is going to cost money since you don't have a health insurance, but it is worth it. This visit to the doctor is going to save you additional anxiety by not knowing what is going on with you and trying to fight the symptoms yourself most of the time with little or zero results. Don't be scared, as soon as you start getting help and guidance your condition is going to start improving and gradually you'll feel more confident and ready to face the daily challenges in your life. Just remember, you need to be patient because it all depends on the causes and the intensity of the symptoms. I know that you are going to be okay :)

Get some books on calming anxiety, or look up some sites that would help. You should talk to someone, sort out your feelings. It helps to release the anxiety It won't go away before saturday day, no. But it could get better by then, if you Truly try.

You are so right, to begin with at least. Ask your mom to get you a prescription for ambien or any other sleep medication (prescription). You need a gooooood long nap before you can decide if you have serious anxiety. You say you are in a wheelchair and on oxygen? I am so sorry. You are clearly a very strong person to be able to reach out for help like this. Could it be you need higher levels of oxygen? To keep your mind busy when you are alone, start writing in a journal (paper or computer). It's a great distraction and you get to read your own thoughts for as long as you like. What you want like most anyone else are more friends or more people around. Can you wheel into your front yard and just wave as people go by? You'd be surprised at how many new names you'll pick up and maybe they'll stay and chat a while.
