I am 16 years old. I have been having anxiety attacks for the past couple of months.?
I have never had any mental health issues in my life before these last couple of months. Ive never been to a therapist or any other mental health doctor because i was perfectly okay. I have been feeling guilty and scared. I have weird fears and I keep thinking about them through out the whole day, and i try to keep myself from thinking about them which is exhausting. I cant sleep due to my anxiety attacks. I dont know what is happening. I am scared I might be going insane or something. Please help. One of my fears was that I might still have feelings for a boy I used to talk to while being with my current boyfriend. I felt guilty about having thoughts about the boy I used to talk to, and it would scare me all day. My boyfriend tells me to go see a doctor, but i am too embarassed and ashamed. I have looked up my symptoms, and I think what this is might be OCD. Please help. I am really scared and so tired of this.
nothing dramatic happened in my life to have triggered this. just fear of losing my current boyfriend. my father thinks i am a crazy person for wanting to see a therapist, he will take me, but i am ashamed because he is making it seem like its not something "normal" people do. thats why i am ashamed. im also afraid a doctor wont help.
i am scared to go on medication, my father says it will mess me up and change me. my mother is schizophrenic, and ive seen what medication has done for her. i dont understand. i was perfectly okay a couple months ago. how could this have started out of no where?

I already know a lot about my anxiety, I went to a psychologist, but it didn’t help much, well, it did a bit, but obviously I’m not cured, and I never will be.
I’m wondering what social anxiety is, and does it naturally come with anxiety, like when I’m in public, I’m so paranoid of everyone, I think everyone is out to get me
I’m 15 and if I’m with my mum I still need her to come to the toilet with me and everything, the other day she asked me to wait outside the shop with all the shopping so she didn’t have to carry it and I said ok but I was so scared that every person that walked past had a hidden motive and that they were a bad person
I always panic when I’m around strangers, I hate catching the train and bus home from school, I’m irrationally scared of it, I worry that someone crazy might be on the train or bus, or that someone will sit next to me or stare at me
When I’m sitting at the bus stop, if someone such as a man over 20 sits next to me or an indecent looking person sits next to me I basically have a panic attack, once there actually was a crazy person who sat next to me and started talking to me, I’d never been so scared or worried
I have heaps of fears, some irrational too, I have normal ones like spiders and the dark, but also of completely random things like saliva and mammograms (don’t even ask, I don’t even know)

Sometimes I think I’m ok, but my physical symptoms are still there, even at school I get really panicky because I feel there’s too many people around and I get really dizzy and get headaches and feel sick

How could I deal with any of this?
