Fear and anxiety are often symptoms of something else. Try keeping a journal so you can refer back to it. Are there triggers? Similar situations that cause you to feel fear. Are you ever relaxed? Does watching something funny on TV distract you long enough to get out of your head? Don't let your thoughts take control. Physically do something else that makes you need to focus on only that thing. Focus on patterned breaths.

Inhale slowly and count to 10.
Exhale slowly and count to 10
Keep this pattern going for as long as you can.
If thoughts start to intrude, say outloud "My breath is my life" inhale
"My breath is my healing" exhale

Learn to pray the Rosary. The physical touching of the beads, the counting, and the rhythmic pattern of prayer is extremely healing. Miraculous things will happen.

When you gather some strength, start expressing what you are going through to your parents. Say you need to talk to a professional. There is no shame in anything you experience. The only way to get to the root is to talk it through.

There is often a reason for this that you may be unaware of.  Two things to know:  if it's that bad, there are professionals who you can talk to and see if they can't get this straightened out; second, this stuff often passes as you get older.
