"One of my worries is about college and when I get this nervousness I get worried about being really nervous to the point that I can't leave my house."
Whenever you cannot handle the situation, please observe your "cannot handle the situation" situation, after a while, the situation will be changed, you will notice that nothing is permanent, and you will understand the process of the daily events, which will help you to live a better life.
If it’s your physical problem, go to see a doctor and do some check-up will help you.
If it’s just the mental problem, anxiety usually is caused by some thoughts in our brain which we cannot resolve it, since we might not know it’s there; we thought it’s happened with no reason.
Whenever it happened again, just observe it, to know it’s coming again, and go back to your regular daily work. If that is not work, try the following two methods to help you. After some time you will be better.
1. Transfer the attention: relax and deep breaths, do exercise, think about the happiest thing in your life, watch TV, listen to music or read a book. As long as your mind is released from the thoughts that cause your anxiety, you will be temporary relieved, but they will always be come back to you.
2. Practice the body and mind observation: this method has the transfer attention ability when you are not very good with it (in the beginning), but you will be mastering the matters if you can observe you mind movement clearly.
In our life time we experience various things, and if it's worth referencing in our future, they're stored in the brain; the more chances it's released from the brain the more profound it becomes.
The messages released from our brain, is just for our reference, it's for us to use, not for us to worry.
Whenever we're faced with the brain to release unhappy messages, to know that this message appeared, if it's something that we have to face, just face it and solve it, does not exclude nor resist it, over the time, the effect of these messages will become lighter.
Rejection, resistance, etc. will only deepened the strength of these messages in the brain, and become more affecting on our life.
These informational messages, are just for the purpose of helping us, put down the messages which don't have reference value. Knowing the messages released from the brain are for reference only is important. People should never be worried or suffered by the messages released from the brain. Realize this is a reference message that we either use it or just put it down. If we cannot fulfill this simple rule, then we are exactly used by the body and mind.
This is a good example, for a person practiced the body and mind observation, can react to a daily event as described in the answer:
To practice the body and mind observation will let us personally experience the process of hatred, worry, sad, mad, etc., which let us know this kind of feeling is caused by our thoughts, and those thoughts is caused by our bias, subjective judgments, or value judgments, we will understand all these process are heavily influence our life. They actually are the burdens that we carried for many years. We are not used to live a life without involved with them. The clearer we can observe, the better we will understand how we can put these burdens down gradually.
I practice the body and mind observation for the past four years. I answered some questions related to the body and mind observation. I’d like to share my experience with you. Please take some time to visit these questions:
Please feel free to go to my profile and write an email to me, if you’d like to discuss more about it.
Good luck and best wishes!

I was diagnosed with anxiety a few year's ago. People might tell you to go to therapy but trust me those things don't work. All you do in therapy is talk about your week, which can be done with anyone. Anyway, I used to take Zoloft for anxiety. Didn't help. I had an anxiety attack last month and took xanax. Worked wonders. I had another one last week and an ambulance came to pick me up. The guy wouldn't shut up but I found out that him talking to me helped a lot. By the time I got to the hospital I was fine, even though I was still a bit shaky. Othrs might say to just breath. I never believed it till I started doing it. Take slow deep breaths. Sometimes I'll try to sleep it off, and if that doesn't help I'll just do something like video games, go outside. Trust me though. The littlest things help a lot.
