Q: Do I Have An Anxiety Disorder?

I'd like some opinions on if I have anxiety or not.

I have minor panic attack in which I have
-hot flashes
-dizziness
-feeling absolutely overwhelmed
-difficulty breathing

my stress comes from
-dropping out of high school
-enter community college
-realizing that I have several thousand pages of reading material that not "required" for school but i'll need to know it
-school reading, which is a thousand pages at the moment

i worry about
-failing
-getting more done
-not reading enough
-my actions (i'll go over awkward moment in my head to see what I did wrong and go over them till I get what I should have done or justify my actions. Can take me anywhere from 20min-1hr)
-thinking about my actions (wasted time)
-not making progress in non-school related reading
-embarrassing myself (not as much anymore)
-future test and quizzes
-future writing assignment

this is interfering with
-my work (i start to feel overwhelmed, scared, drift off and critique my self and/or think that I should have gotten more done)
-enjoyment (ever 5-20 minutes I think to myself how I shouldn't be playing games, also my stress carries over to the first person shoot I play so that every time I get shot at I jump so my mouse almost fall off the desk.)
-sleeping (i woke up with cold sweet and feeling extremely feverish. I felt as though my fever had just broken and I was in that state where you don’t want be touched because you're afraid it will hurt. This is rare)
-energy (i feel emotionally drained by 12-2pm)

I'm 16 and I believe I have gad since i've never felt a "real" panic attack. The acute panic attacks happened about twice and that was a while ago. I was curious if I did go to the doctor what they would perscribe me if anything. I'm kinda afraid of ssri's.
