How can I help my anxiety?

Question

I'm 14 & I have really bad anxiety, & I'll get it for the stupidest things, like sometimes the littleist things someone will say just sets it off. I'll start to panic & breathe real heavy, & I just break down. Sometime I even start to cry. I found that biting my nails helps, but I don't want to do that anymore. If I go a month or to with out anxiety attacks, then my nails will be perfect, but then the second it starts, they look like crap, & I'm really sick of it, & It's embarrassing. I don't really want to resort to medication or anything.. so if you know anything that can help, pleaase let me know. Thanks. ( I also suffer from Hypochondria witch doesn't help at all )

i have it too and im also 14, and have depression
im sorry you have Hypochondria that must suck :(
im really sorry to break it to you but if your having panic attacks, you NEED to take pills. there is really no cure fr anxiety and sometimes it can lead to depression and paranoia. also you can start to hear things as you get older, you should reallllly come clean to your parents and your doctor. pills are your best option, i didnt want to take em either but  my psychiatrist told me i needed to. after a few weeks the pill started kicking in i felt GREAT, its really an amazing feeling when  your no worried all the time. 

the pills for most anxiety is not big at all, if your worried about the size, for 14 year old they dont give stuff over 70mg as long as your not reallly bad. i take 50mg and the pill is as big as my fingernail. 

i really hope you get better soon <3
