Find a psychiatrist: You need to find a psychiatrist and a counselor to help you through this process. Anxiety usually has to be treated with counseling, behavior modification, and maybe meds. You are young and have a long life ahead of you - find help now so you can have a happy, productive life.

CBT for Skills!: Anxiety is akin 2 a false warning that we're in danger arising in primitive parts of brain programmed 2 help our bodies prepare 2 fight off wild animals in front of us or 2 run away from them fast. This "fight or take flight" program triggers a predictable chain of events in our bodies serving 2 pump up our muscles. It feeds on oxygen. So 2 lower/gain control of anxiety learn 2 regulate breathing.
