Answers:
I understand exactly what you are going through, I have the same problem mine is chronic anxiety with panic attacks, I do go to a therapist and I do have a Physic Dr that prescribes the meds!. I returned to college in order to get my degree so I can make more money!. I do the exact same thing you do I get to class I look around and this fear comes over me and all I want is out, the first thing I look at is the door and think about just running out!. When this happens this is what I do, take a few close my eyes take a few deep breaths and say that I am going to be ok and switch my thoughts to something else until the panic goes away, this isn't easy to do and I am not saying that it always works the first time, sometimes the panic comes back!. Your not going to die from this, if that was the case I wouldn't be hear telling you this!. Also try not to think to far in advance about your day or the things that you have to do because that will also trigger an attack!. I don't know what meds you are on it would help that way I could tell you if they are the right ones for the anixety but defiantly tell the Dr that you are going to see all that is going on and how you feel and how the anxiety attacks come on, mine have gotten better I use to have them everyday!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I can understand the anxiety feeling, and I'm a parent!. So I have a hard time answering your question without some of my own!.!.!.is this a sudden problem with school (you mentioned grades being a factor) or has this been an ongoing problem (more than a couple months)!?!?
I'm not trying to dismiss your anxiety AT ALL!. Trying to explain it so parents understand is the question!.!.!.ok ask them if they know the term "fight or flight"!. You feel like the world around you is closing in and you have zero control over how to get the next breath of air!!?! Hope this helps!
You also mentioned having medication, has there been enough time to see if they work!? Some medications take some time before you can tell a difference (2-3 weeks)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sweetie, I am a fellow sufferer!. The shrink is the PERFECT doctor for you!. Tell him/her EVERYTHING!. Don't be ashamed of a thing!. They've heard it all, and the great thing about a pshychiatrist (not psychologist) is that they are M!.D!.s and know everything about medications!. S/he will know exactly what you need!. I, personally, think Klonopin is a wonder drug!. Get there soon!! The pills work immediately, and you will have a life without anxeity! It sounds like your folks are a little old-fashioned, because there USED to be a stigma attached to any mental problems!. But today there is SO mush stress in our our world, about 40% of young women have anxiety and panic issues!.
PLEASE keep that appt!. with the shrink! Try to get it sooner if you can!. The sooner you get it, the sooner you'll be living a normal life!.
Bless you and I wish you the very best of lucK!! Sincerely, LynnWww@Answer-Health@Com
