Is this all anxiety?!

Is this all anxiety?

My doctor told me I have general anxiety disorder due to my dad's death last year, many family and financial problems..He said I put too much pressure on myself and I'm only 17..
But my physical symptoms are just too crazy to ignore@
I have: muscle twitches/jerks esp when trying to sleep, headaches, nonsense/racing thoughts, sometimes not finding the right words to say or making mistakes when speaking, blurred vision, throbbing head, dizziness/unsteadiness...
This anxiety is crazy..I mean sometimes I do feel like something bad will happen, or scared for no reason..But I think this is a much more serious issue..I either really have a brain tumor or soemthing && these are seizure symptoms OR I'm going insane...HELP PlZ!! =(

Sorry to hear about your problems. Yes, I agree with your doctor...sounds like anxiety to me. I used to get it, too, along with panic attacks (hard to breathe, start hyperventilating).

I would ask your doctor if you can be prescribed some antidepressants and get a referral to a psychologist to talk to about your father's death. Death of a parent is devastating to anybody, but more so to a teenager or small child.

You don't say if you are the only child in the family or how your mother is handling all of the issues at play. It could be that your entire family may benefit from counseling as well.

First, take care of yourself. Talk with your doctor about what you want done to help you with your anxiety. Don't be afraid of taking antidepressants. There are many on the market and if one doesn't work, there's always another to try. If you ever feel that you want to hurt yourself, please don't!! Call a friend to talk about what you are feeling, okay??

Remember, your father loved you very much and would want you to enjoy your life, not stress out over something you did not have control over (his death and your family's financial problems).

Take care of yourself.
