You're not! I'm 30, but I was diagnosed with panic disorder/anxiety when I was 13. It's a hard damn thing to go through, I know. I'm not gonna sit here and say crap like, "aw, feel better!" or "snap out of it!" I had therapy weekly for a year when I was 13/14 and I had to tell friends I was going to rehab for a sprained ankle! It took me a long time to realize that having anxiety is nothing to be ashamed of. You're not weak or a wimp.
You know how many teens in the world have anxiety? MILLIONS. And I know it might feel like you're the only one, it did for me. But you're simply not. Look it up online. There are countless forums you can join and talk to others who think that THEY are the only ones, too. You'll make friends and be able to tell stories and support eachother. Try it!
you are in no way alone. I am 18 now put somtimes I still feel that way. All teens feel out of place often it is normal a lot of people do not admit it but everyone feels that way somtimes. Good luck and hope you can be well from now on.
I'm no longer a teen, but I used to be a teacher. You are not alone. In fact, anxiety is so common that I'd be surprised if everyone you know hasn't felt that way at one point or another.
Talk to the counselors at school, seek out mental health help in your community, even call AA - while Alcoholic's Anonymous might seem like an odd call, almost every community has one, and while they might not be able to help you directly unless the problem is coming from substance abuse in your life, they could get you the names of contacts who can help you.
Good luck.
