It's literally crippling, and I've had to miss out on a bunch of fun because I'm too scared to go.
When it happens, I get really physically ill to the point where I will throw up. It's horrid, and I can't control it. I've tried literally almost every calming method, but it just feels like something's wrong. I know nothing is, but it's so frustrating because my brain continuously tells itself that something is wrong, and my body reacts horribly to it.
I want to know what kind of anxiety this is, and how to stop it. My mother has suggested Xanax or Klonopin, but I don't think we can afford those just yet.

drugs is NOT the answer! Take if from me, I was hooked on that crap for 15 years. The ONLY answer is to seek counseling and for them to dig deep into your past to find out what the fear is from. If it is too expensive, remember to accept yourself for who you are and love yourself. Your anxiety is normal. You just need to find out that lie you believe about yourself and replace it with the truth. You are a good person!
