Please help!!

Hi, im 15 im not really sure if anythings wrong with me but im just worried. I have a constant need to shake my foot in class or when im falling asleep, It takes hours before i fall asleep about three, at night i feel like i cant breathe and i swear i cant feel my heart beat. I have a constant fear that something bads going to happen like im going to go to school one day and a mass murderer will shoot my school up or when i go jogging someone when attack me from behind and rape me. In January i started getting these muscles spasms and tingling sensations throughout out my body like things were crawling in me, i had sore spots on my back, i felt like my brain was melting and its vessels were popping . So i started looking up my symptoms and i thought i had diabetes,lung cancer, i thought i was having nerve problems. I went to the doctor and she didn't listen to anything i said like i was crazy so i went to a different doctor and got my blood done, she told me to take an aspirin and not to put things on my back. So i just stopped going to doctors. My results came back and i have vitamin d deficiency and im borderline anemic but that cant be causing it. Im a very outgoing person but i feel like people i know are using me or out to get me so i stopped talking to my friends .I just feel so confined in my body and that everyones all ways staring at me i dont know how to explain it. Whats wrong with me? I just dont want to die at such a young age from throat cancer or something, im a moderate weed smoker. im starting to cry and my hands are shanking so ill just stop here.

We live in a "fear" pushing society. Start by turning off the news. Dont' read bad stuff. The truth is, the world isnt that scary of a place.

It wouldnt hurt to see a new Dr. and tell him/her your symptoms.

Vitamin deficiency can actually cause weird symptoms. But not usually fears. I used to get Restless Leg Syndrome feelings in my legs, and couldnt fall asleep at night.

I ended up finding out that my body reacts to caffeine differently now that it used to. And it depletes my body of viatimin b. Once I quit caffeine and started taking vitamins. It went away.

Take a deep breath. Relax. You are so young. You have gotten a clean bill of health from your Dr. Nothing is wrong with you. :) You are completely healthy.

If we engage our thoughts into negative or scary things. It's easy to focus on those so much, we begin to downward spiral, and engulf yourself with it, to the point it's all we can think about.

Try to surround yourself with good things. :) Most symptoms you describe start with a thought. Did you know an actual thought produces chemicals in the body to have feelings? Yes! So when you have a negative thought, most of the time, your body will have a negative feeling.

You are what you think. Change the way you think, and you will change the way you feel. :) Easier said than done. But you are so young. You can do it!

Also, it may not hurt to talk to a counselor or a therapist. :) Best of luck!

Alright, stop smoking weed.  It's not helping.  And this could be related to hormonal changes whioch are normal at your age.  Try staying very busy so you don't think about it.  If that doesn't work, then go to your parents again to see a doctor.  Blessings - Blu
