Also, I'll definitely look for a therapist and I appreciate both of you commenting.
I have a doctor's appointment in May so I'm going to tell my Mom I want to try going by myself for once because I've never done so before. I love her but she's one of those Moms who want to always be with you.
One of my problems is that she's sort of my attachment for my anxiety. If I'm away from her or my brother, I have to make myself breathe and calm down so I don't panic. Doesn't pan out well for my future off on my own but maybe seeing a therapist would help.
Definitely, look into a therapist. In the meantime, grounding techniques may be able to help you control your anxiety so that you can do more on your own.
