HELP? My anxiety is consuming me.

Mental health

I have really bad anxiety, I can barely leave my house, apart from going to school and that makes me tremble, sweat, feel nauseous and my heart pumps so loud in my chest I feel like other people could hear it as well. My phone got taken away recently and I've been trapped in my room, all day. on my laptop. I never was a social person, so parties and going out with friends was never for me. There are often family meet-ups and one is coming up and I cannot even bear to think of it and what I will do there without my phone. 

​I'm not on medication because I live with a religiously (Christian) strict mother and I can't discuss things such as anxiety with her, I tried once and it was probably the most biggest mistake I have made in my life. i'm also 14, so I'm not sure if I can book an appointment by myself in the UK and I must be home by at least 3:45PM or 4PM, otherwise there will be questions and corporal punishment is usually the answer. During school is not an option as my education is something I can't miss out on according to my mother.

​Sorry for babbling, I just need help. 

Thank you, AnxiousBear.

I really feel for you. You really need to speak to someone about this. A friend or a teacher maybe. Don't go through this alone.

Hi there. Don't let yourself confuse by your mum's opinion - I know how difficult could be resist pressure of parents, but don't forget that it's only ONE man's opinion. It's really good, that you are trying to find help for yourself. I appreciate it! Maybe you have a school psychologist at your school and you just haven't known about it yet. Or you can mention it during visit at your pediatrician (for different reason) - ideally in the absence of your mother... The doctor is obliged to offer you a helping hand in this case (at least in my country).

Good luck and enough strenght!
