Can someone help me out with this life problem I have?Right, so, to get things started, I'm 15, about to be 16 in a couple months. And I have this problem I've had since I became an teenager.
Well, to get you up to date, when I was 14, I started having anxiety attacks frequently, got token to ER and was described having "severe anxiety attacks," Today, it went down to normal anxiety.
But soon after that, I started having disturbed sleep, I had a problem going to sleep, tossing and tumbling, till 3AM in the morning, later waking up in the afternoon, and If I tried to go to sleep in the public [IE: School,] after ten minutes of sleeping, I would jump up immediately, as if I was electrocuted or something, with a high heart beat.
Today, I can't leave my house, I can't move much, I usually spend most of my days here sitting at the computer due to the fact that anytime I stand up and move, my heart feels like it wants to rip out of my chest, like a fireball, cause it's pumping hard, and feels hot.
I also have a tough time breathing, feel light headed almost all the time, and I feel too weak.
Note, this happen when I turned to a teenager, which then, I get VERY skinny, I have usually under 5% fat at all times. And I can't do anything about my skinniness, it just happened, I eat like a normal person, I do no drugs, I don't make myself puke or anything, I'm just trying to be a normal person.
Can you guys help me out on what I have?

Ricky, If things are this bad why haven't your parents taken you to the Dr? If it is this bad you need to be either on anti anxiety meds or in counseling therapy to help deal with these problems. Hormones happen at puberty time and yours can be just over active. There are meds or other treatment available to you. Get your parents to make you an appointment to see someone. Meanwhile, While counseling and medications are the most effective treatments for social anxiety disorder, you may wish to reduce your anxiety level at home by practicing a healthy lifestyle.
Get regular exercise. Start slowly so that you don't overdo it. Build up your exercise program bit by bit, and aim for at least 2½ hours a week of moderate exercise.7 It's fine to be active in blocks of 10 minutes or more throughout your day and week.7
Get enough sleep by going to bed at nearly the same time every night. Also, keeping your room quiet and dark may reduce distractions and help you get a good night's rest.
Eat a balanced diet by choosing foods low in fat and high in fiber.
Avoid foods and beverages that contain caffeine, such as chocolate and coffee, since they may increase your anxiety.
Try some relaxation exercises. Certain breathing exercises and muscle relaxation exercises help reduce anxiety. For information, see:
Stress management: Breathing exercises for relaxation.
Stress management: Doing guided imagery to relax.
Stress management: Doing meditation.
Stress management: Doing progressive muscle relaxation.
Stress management: Relaxing your mind and body.
Change how you think. This can change how you feel and can reduce your anxiety. For more information, see:

If you drink alcohol or use drugs in an attempt to gain confidence to face feared social situations, it is possible to develop substance abuse problems in addition to social anxiety disorder. For more information, see the topic Alcohol Abuse and Dependence.
