New here and seems I need the support

[animegirl4ever]

Hello there I'm new here the name I go with online is Kate I'm in my early 20's and I'm a wreck.

I almost feel like a fraud because unlike everyone else I actually have not been diagnosed with Anxiety but I know I have it
This year has been a rough year I dropped out of college (it was making me depressed and stressed) it was only suppose to be temporary but lasted the full year I've been anxious about stuff before but this was the first year I actually had an anxiety attack and in church no less
I also had my first ever panic attack while waiting in the waiting room to talk to a guy about my wisdom teeth

I'm even a bit scared joining because I don't want to do or post something wrong. I don't even know what to post first or what would be okay to make public if it gets me help

I'd go to a professional but I don't drive and it would require my mom looking up people, paying, and driving me to them.

Hello, and welcome. You are not a fraud, but it is important for you to get help, and that may mean relying on others for a while. Is your mother willing to do that for you? Diagnosis, medication, and being under a doctors care are important safety-guards for us, to make sure we are not hurting ourselves inadvertently. If your mother is willing to do this, I would strongly encourage you to consider it. You are welcome here whether you go to your doctor or not, but for your own safety, I hope that you'll think about it.

Did you manage to go through with the wisdom teeth surgery? I cried when I had mine out. It was scary as hell. And my sister, who worked at a dental surgery office, had hers done, too. She also cried because she knew what they were going to do.

And what about church? It sounds like you're not able to attend anymore. Keep us informed. We want to know how you're doing.

[SunnieDebris]

Yes, an update as to how you are doing now would probably help us to understand your situate better.

I posted the story of what's going on now in the general discussion section it should be on page 2 somewhere (I can't link I need 25 posts before I can XD)

Anxiety is fear coming from within. So the question is where does your original fear come from? Can you go back in your thoughts and recall a time before you had this problem? You might have to go back to your childhood day’s, nevertheless I’m sure some memories are there.

Once you’ve found such memories come forward in your thoughts until the first time you experienced ‘your feelings of anxiety’ and then ask yourself what was going on in your life a little before that time. Did you have any family changes? Were you ill? Did you surer conflicts at school or college? Threatened by someone, or even attacked? Chances are you probably kept your thought and feelings about this problem to yourself and never shared them with anybody.

Sit quietly for a while and let your thoughts drift back and examine your past and see what you can recall. If you can uncover a fearful time just before your anxiety started it will be an excellent place to begin understanding and overcome your anxiety.
