Please read. do i have generalized anxiety disorder?

i'm really close to my parents and i can talk to them about anything, but i'm self concious in public and shy, feel uncomfortable and bad, also i try to avoid eye contact and confrontations, i dread eating in restaurants, even if its just me and my mom going to eat breakfast or something, i sometimes try to avoid social outings and parties with friends, i always feel like people are watching or critizing me..so i get really nervous right away. everytime a person passes by me i feel like they are going to hurt me or touch me in a sexual way even though it never happens and i get real nervous, i always have to completely clarify what is i am supposed to say or do so i wont screw up and embarrass myself, i really hate it but i'm willing to do anything to stop it and get back to my life and i just want to get up and be strong. but everytime i just feel like staying my room all day on the computer and read. do u suggest i go to my doctor and get medication? or what should i do?

I feel for you! It's tough to go through this. It sounds to me like you have a certain type of anxiety disorder called social anxiety. Check out the link below and it might offer some clarity. I would discuss your well-being with your family doctor and he/she might be able to recommend a therapist that works on cognitive behavioral therapy. This therapy is especially helpful for social anxiety because it helps modify your thoughts and feelings in different situations. I have found this therapy to be really helpful with anxiety!
