I know I have anxiety but i've had it for soo long and I havent seena doctor. Well I did once but I wasnt honest. I was scared to tell him I had a panic attack because I thought I would be put in a straight jacket, and then I didnt take my meds right. Now these symptoms are starting to catch up with me. My brain feels numb. I wish I would've known nothing was seriously wrong with me when this first happened. I've been hiding my emotions for too long. Someone please help me....

Panic is nothing to be ashamed of, you would be surprised how many people actually suffer from anxiety. You should see your doctor and explain everything you may get some meds that will help you and they may put you in touch with someone who can help you work through your anxiety.
Maybe half your anxiousness is caused because your anxious to talk about it. If you understand me ! You can get better and you will feel like a weight has been lifted off you if you do.

Good luck
