Please help with my anxiety...?!


Question:

Please help with my anxiety...?

Somebody told me to answer these questions in order for people to help me...so here I go:

When did this start?
The anxiety has been going on for about two months, but I have just shrugged it off and moved on. Now it is far worse and sometimes I will just lay awake one morning shaking.
How often does it happen?
Now it has been happening for three days straight, no stopping. The big attacks happen around noon when I am by myself.
Is there something that triggers this?
Nothing that I know of for sure. The last thing that triggered an anxiety attack was somebody mentioning a doctor on one of my questions. I don't wish to go see a doctor, I am not in pain, I just have some little problems.
How long does it last?
Once it starts it continues for about two hours...or until I go to sleep.
Are you already on medication for this?
I am on no medication. And I do not wish to take any.

Some extra information:
Gender: Female
Age: 13
I am not going to tell my parents.

I keep shaking when I am by myself, I have gotton really dizzy lately. Sometimes I feel sick to my stomach and I don't know why.

I may have something other than anxiety attack, or something along with it. I might have a panic disorder, or low blood sugar, or something completely different. If you specialize in this stuff...please email me.

I am desperate. And if you have any questions please ask, I will be monitering this question every single second.

Did I not say I didn't want my parents involved? I believe I can fix this...but the public needs to give me more options. Just say anything, random words that could trigger an anxiety attack, or something you think is going on. We need to eliminate all the possibilities.

I think I have an idea of what it could be:

About a year ago I used to choke a lot, and it scared me to death. I couldn't breath, and the feeling was unbearable. I also go swimming a lot, and sometimes I get stuck under stuff or I stay under too long. And the idea of not breathing scares me. That may not be it...but it's a start. I have always been able to hold my breath for a long time, and it has never scared me to do so.

And I am not embarrased...it is more like I don't want to put my problems on my parent's shoulders. They already have enough to deal with, and I have a big trip coming up.

Dear Azooga
Thank you for posting a very detailed question which helps me to find out more about the problem in which you suffer, You sound very grown up for your age and I am pleased you used Yahoo to help yourself as most people your age would go to a grown up,

At the age of 13 I watched a program which scared me out of my wits which then triggerd a anxiety disorder inside of me
I too suffered from symptons such as
Sweating
Stomach Aches
Biting Nails and Many more

I saw a counsellor for about a 1 year and continued seeing her every monday and friday whenever I felt bad, I used to worry about everything and I continue to worry even now,

I found that the when I felt anxious I had to think straight and think about what was making me anxious

1: If I didnt know what was, I would calm myself down and say this EXACT sentance
" I have nothing to be anxious about so I shall continue my day feeling better " and It did help me

If you realise what your anxious about then access it and say
" What is the WORST case scenario about this thought "
And
" What will I do if the worst case happens "

I really do hope this helps and you start to feel [ Not completely better] But on your way to feeling better
Thank you
