Don't just BUY pills. You can't without a medical diagnosis and prescription, in the first place, and the second place, if you COULD find them, you CAN'T trust what's in the pills.
Tell your Parents how you feel. They should direct you to a psychologist, and the psychologist will determined whether to send you to a psychiatrist. Although I have taken medication for clinical depression , it isn't the only route for controlling feelings.

Why is it that the first thing you think about is taking pills or even thinking there is something wrong with you? Why do you feel that there is something wrong with you just because you are shy or you do not like public speaking? Many people feel self conscious at times, even the most public figures? Does it mean that there is something wrong with them? Of course Not!! My advice to you is to start learning to love yourself. Love all the wonderful qualities and gifts that you have, all the great things you bring to this world just by being you. If it is hard for you, pray and ask God to help you see what a wonderful girl he made you and all the great qualities that you have and that you bring to your friends and family. Before running to pills, run to God and prayer. It will help you immensely. And go on a journey of learning to love Yourself. It helps too

I have had major anxiety and panic for a long time. For a long time I was terrified to seek therapy and thought that I could just deal with it on my own, but it never got better until I sought therapy. The best advice I can give you is to get therapy and try to change your way of thinking. There are sometimes free clinics you can go to. The best way I have found in dealing with anxiety is to remember that although anxiety is frightening, it is only stress. Anxiety will not hurt you. Try to remain positive and continue to go about life even though you are feeling afraid. Try thinking of your anxiety as energy, not as fear.

You do need to see a doctor, but since you are so young, they may avoid putting you on any medication. Do you have brothers and sisters? If you are a loner, then maybe that has something to do with it. I kind of think I understand how you feel. You can break yourself out of it NOW before it's too late. The most important thing is that you are realizing it. Good for you. It's not really a big thing right now but it's not little either, but like I said, you can break your own self out of it. Do what makes you feel uncomfortable the most. That's how you will become accustom to it.

First, you need to know and accept the fact that most adolescents, who are perfectly normal, also have these feelings, so you are not alone. Is there a school counselor you can confide in? Since you are a minor, you will have to talk with your parents and let them know how you feel. Hopefully they will tale you to your family Dr. ,who would refer you to a professional for evaluation to determine what treatment, if any, I best for you.
Good Luck

I have read some litterature about panic attacks. But they allways seem to have a more scientific approach and that is nothing I need in my struggle to survive those horrible panic attacks. This is a "hand on" and very practical book. I felt it was written to me. I am sure that you are going to feel the same.
Joe Barry writes exactly how I think. The examples are perfectly described. And the method is genius. I recommend this book and thanks Joe Barry for writing it. It changes your life

you were not the first born............
your family caused the problem.......good parents do not allow one child to dominate the family interest and time
families know when they have a shy child.....you make an effort to give them social skills and confidence.........if you do not have the support and proper family structure.......the pills are a waste of money
schools and parents....give teach the confidence skills by having you perform in class......school plays.....rewarding social behavior
pills might seem like a solution....but correcting problems better...someday you might have kids.......a shy person who does not speak up to assist their kids........pass on the problem and give the kid many problems growing up
horror for a child to have a problem and the parent does not step up because they are shy!.............
correct this your future and your kids to be

You need to go see your family doctor. He/she can evaluate your feelings and maybe refer you to someone you can talk to to help you get over or at least cope with how you feel. Medication may be prescribed depending on how severe they think your symptoms are. Good luck!
