PANIC DISORDER ADVICE? please help

I get panic attacks when i am stressed and overloaded with schoolwork or when I am sick but lately I've been getting smaller ones whenever I think about or encounter these things:

my boyfriend's parents
my boyfriend leaving for the military,
forgetting me or falling in love with someone else
drinking alcohol, smoking
eating something that could be dirty/uncooked
missing washing my face twice a day,
being broke, having no money
doing poorly on an assignment or in a class
being left alone to eat, drive alone or go out without company

what is wrong with me?? My friends do not understand and neither do I... how do I fix this? I cannot control these phobias

Try to talk to a counselor if you can.

Welcome to the forum.

Anxiety is a thought orientated process in the mind. You fear things on an irrational level and succumb to those fears leading to hundreds of symptoms that can become physical in nature. Making it hard to believe that anxiety can be a "mental thing". I assure you that is what it is. Nothing is wrong with you, and if that fear is to be had as it is with many people then go to your doctor to alleviate such fears.

I have a thread in my signature which I have written. I highly advise you read it to understand what you're dealing with. And welcome to becoming a better you :)
