ANXIETY is making me miserable?

Question

if im dizzy i think i have low blood sugars, if ive a sore side i think ive kidney failure.. i ALWAYS think something is wrong with my health.

Im afraid to take medication incase of possible side effects.

I avoid seeing my friends incase i get nervous because when i get nervous i cannot talk to anyone i act werid and i get angry when people try to talk to me.

Everytime i leave the house i get this feeling of dread.. i feel weak with fear that something bad will happen and there is something wrong with me.

Im miserable.. im 15! i have the most important year of my life starting on september(GCSES) i cant afford to miss school.. all my friends are out everyday having fun while im in the house hiding on my room on a computer and watching tv. i dont know what to do.. im going to see a physcgoloist soon. but ive given up hope of ever getting better

Answer 1

I think you should just go to a doctor, I recently did and got prescribed for zoloft.  It's not necessarily for depression like most people think, its also used for social anxiety..which is why i'm on it.  I got prescribed to 100 mg, which is really high but it helps a lot.  So far I haven't goten any side effects.  A little bit loss of an apatite, but that's all I got. I just went to my normal doctor and while i was just getting a checkup i told her i had anxiety and she gave it to me!  Hope your anxiety situation changes! :)

  It's good you're going to see a psychologist soon. He or she will be able to help. Be sure you tell them what you've written here, so that they know what is bothering you. There are medications which can make the anxiety go away so that you can function.
