I don't know what to do about my anxiety?!
Question:
I don't know what to do about my anxiety?
I am 19 years old and in college. I started spring semester after taking the first semester off after graduating high school because my anxiety was so bad. I currently take paxil, but have been on about 4 others. they don't really help me much. I got a 3.93 gpa last semester but I am worried about the fall semester coming up. I am really smart and have everything but I feel like a failure and stay home most of the time if I'm not working. I feel better if I know I am making money. I am worried about what I will do for a career because I get anxious and feel sick every time I even think about it. I don't even know what I can do to help myself. I go to a shrink for counseling but it doesn't really help. I feel good sometimes but not much. It is making me really depressed and I am so sick of it. I feel almost like I don't want it to go away though because it always comes back worse after I ignore it for awhile. Any suggestions on what I can do to help myself?
