Anxiety at its worst can cause extreme distress. I cope with it, and it's a living hell each day.
I hope for your sake your mother will take the time to become more informed about anxiety disorders and realize you're reaching out and be supportive with whatever course you decide to take. It's your life you have to live, and I hope with the proper help you'll live it very well. Take gentle care of you.

gon3....   - this is a good support site - but see if you can find a support group that meets face to face...it's a great way to understand yourself and learn how others have learned to cope.
"The other thing is that if you rely solely on medication to manage depression or anxiety, for example, you have done nothing to train the mind, so that when you come off the medication, you are just as vulnerable to a relapse as though you had never taken the medication." Daniel Goleman
