The constant reminder that absolutely nobody could, in any way shape or form, should be enough to calm this. As a child, I saw a therapist because I did the exact same thing. I would literally burst into tears and uncontrollably cry until one of my parents finally came to my "rescue".
When I finally saw a therapist, they worked out a reward system that would of course better my actions regarding my anxiety as a child. However, lately, I've been doing the exact same thing. I live with my mother and I am 20 and I still find refuge in my mother, however on a lower standpoint. If we just engage in conversations, then I feel much better and am lowered from my anxious, rigid state.

I'd just seriously have a talk with myself about the things that are causing these problems. Sometimes through self-discussion, things can be resolved without introducing anyone else to your situation. I find that this makes one feel more accomplished when the anxiety is rid.
