please help me, anxiety disorder..................?i've been shy my whole life but only recently
(past 3 years) i've noticed it's become extrmely painful and
i miss out on ALOT because of it, i don't have many close friends,
or strong relationships with people, people just don't know me.
they just see me as the girl that never talks and stuff and it doesn't bother me that much, but what i've noticed is the most hardest, is that because i am shy, i get embarrased easily and i blush heaps bad and its gotten to the point where i am constantly fearing blushing. i think about it almost all the time and if i was in the dark with people, i'd be alot less shy, but in the light, where i can be seen blushing, i just freak out and want to run away or hide my face.
that's the main reason for why i'm so shy but in general i'm always nervous, i get nervous so easily and my heart beats so fast, my hands are always sweating, my face goes automatically red, sometimes my chest hurts, sometimes i feel dizzy, sometimes i get so nervous i don't eat, and yeah. if i have a speech its all i think about until it's over and when im doing a speech, i can barely talk because all the saliva in my mouth dries up and stops producing.
i'm 15 years old, i can't have a job because of this and i spend most of my time crying, wishing i wasnt shy, or wishing i was dead.
i told my parents about this and they laugh and call me a "hypochondriact" and when i beg ang beg they get angry and scream at me and say FINE, ILL TAKE YOU TO A GOD DAMN PHSYCHIATRIST BLABLABLA EVERYONE SUFFERS FROM ANXIETY" etc. everytime i ask my mum, which is kind of often, she just changes the subject.
does it sound like i have an enxiety disorder or i'm just over reacting?
what should i do?
please help me.

since your mom said everyone suffers from anxiety....
then ask her how she handles anxiety
if she won't say anything about it...
then ask your father...
or ask someone else...

you have anxiety yes...it's a problem when it affects you life and everything around you. There is medicine to calm you down and not worry as much.

If you feel that strongly about it you don't need to wait for your mom to get you help. Talk to your family doctor... they should be able to recommend someone for you.
I'm very shy also but I notice that I'm much better when I'm just talking to one person at a time (instead of a large group of people - even if I know all the people in the group).
You have to focus more on what you want to do and not on your fear of doing it. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, say the wrong thing, or do the wrong thing... Nobody's perfect and if anyone teases you then you know you don't need to waste your efforts on them. (Easy for me to say but some days I have trouble taking my own advice) Interacting with people is the best medicine. You have to start to get over it now while your only 15... People are more forgiving of a 15 year old than if you were still this way 20 years from now. Try getting a job in an environment you feel safe... like the disney store, your school, library...
Good luck... practice on one person at a time :-)
