Help me please.. I have GAD

[radagegi]

I'm a 16 year old boy.
I have this Generalized Anxiety Disorder.
I want to tell you how I got this.
When I was young, I've never worried about anything at all.
I lived like any other normal children.
One day, when I was on 5th grade, I went on a vacation to London. I never had a phobia before (of heights), but when I was on that airplane, I started to feel very anxious. I couldn't sleep for 20 hours when I was on that plane. I felt like I was going to die. I was young so I didn't know what GAD  or a phobia was.
Since then, I never had any panic attacks or anxiety syndrome.
But, these past years I have been feeling very anxious. I felt anxious when I was on the boy's gym. I didn't want to embarrass myself or do anything that grabs attention. I hated that.
Though I have that anxiety, I never had panic attacks, or shortness of breath, or any other GAD syndrome.
I started having these syndromes last month
I went to the movie theater with my mom and brother to see Cloverfield. The movie is directed cam recorder style. I saw on some commercials..they gave out warning that this movie may make some people feel nauseous or dizzy because it creates this ''roller coaster sensation'' kind of feeling.
In the beginning of the movie, I started to feel dizzy.
I couldn't breathe.. Though actually I was breathing too fast. My heart pounded really fast and I felt like I wanted to faint or die. I never had this feeling before. I thought I had a heart attack or something. So I told my mom that I was going to the bathroom because I didn't want her to panic. I went outside and took a deep breath. It didn't help. I almost fainted on the floor. I called my mother and asked her to bring me to the hospital. When I arrived at the ER, the nurse and the doctor told me that I have anxiety and panic attack. They told me what it is but they didn't tell me how to treat it.
My mom, just like any other moms, blame me for playing games too much. I know that this isn't the problem, but my mom is very stubborn and you know.. she doesn't care what it is. She's very strict and she told me that she can't do anything unless I want to change myself, that is to stop playing games. I'm not addicted of games, however, I do play a lot.
I know that my GAD isn't because of my ''addiction'' of playing games. It's must be my brain or something.
Please people, you must help me.
Please tell me what to do. I'm so desperate.
Today, when I was in school, I asked my teacher to go to the nurse because of my anxiety.
Oh yeah I forgot to tell you, I didn't have this panic attack for 2 weeks, when suddenly 2 days ago, I woke up at 4a.m. because of a nightmare. That gave me panic attack and I almost fainted.
This is how my brain works : The more I think that I have anxiety disorder, the more I couldn't breathe. The more I think of the darkest things. The more I think that I couldn't survive anymore.
I feel very lonely because it seems like nobody knows what's wrong with me..
Is this GAD rare?
Can it be treated?
Please help me I really want to be cured.
I keep feeling dizzy, anxious, feeling like throwing up, light headed, wanting to die..and I also cry by myself when no one's with me..I'm not an emotional person. But because of this.. I feel like crying...

You can read all about it on other websites, read about anxiety disorders and you will see how common it is. There are so many treatments.

No my mom knows but she threatens not to care if I keep playing computer games..
No I didn't go to the school nurse, I went to the hospital and the doc told me I have anxiety.
It's extremely common, really?
I feel better when people have the same disorder as mine.. I feel not alone anymore..
How long does anxiety last ?
Can it be stopped?

If your mother won't help, go back to the school nurse and have her talk to your mother. especially since at the hospital, they have already told you that you have a generalized anxiety disorder. This is often triggered by lack of sleep, which you experienced on a plane trip. Tell your friends GAD is stress, nervousness, it is your system saying "I need a break!". And it is extemely common, especially in people going through hormonal changes,the teenage years. We often had students coming into the school office begging to go home with vague complaints, and it is simply stress that needs to be addressed. Good luck!

Oh it is?
Then why do I feel like it's not common..?
I feel like I'm alone..
Please can you tell me what to do?
It's very hard for me to sleep.. I couldn't even sleep..
And my emotions were high.. I cried alot..
I feel like giving up and just die.
It's like.. your heart keeps pounding for about 4-5hours or even for the whole day.. until you could get yourself asleep. And the worst thing is that it attacks me randomly.
Is it really common? My friends haven't even heard this thing..

This is so common, especially in your age group. I have worked in the public schools with people your age in the school nurse's office. There are many people that have this, and you probably need some medication to get you through it for a while. And yes, the more you worry about it, the worse it gets. Ask for a doctor's appointment and explain how you are feeling. No one will laugh.
