What you describe sounds like OCD (which is a type of Anxiety disorder). The media has made OCD out to be a stereotypical thing, like compusively washing your hands or checking to see if the oven is turned off. And while some people with OCD do those things, there are others of us (myself included) who mostly compulsively worry. Or, I have a loop in my head that repeats things that I've said that embarass me or what others have said--or sometimes, the loop that constantly loops round inside my brain might be snippets of a poem I read or a song I heard. This loop is very characteristic of OCD, and obsessively worrying is characteristic too. OCD is a spectrum and many people on that specture are more obsessive (worriers) and less compulsive--but still have compulsive tendancies--like watching TV to mitigate the anxiety or jumping or screaming or whatever it is that a person can do.
I recommend you see a therapist and a psychiatrist. I know for me, SSRIs have been helpful to calm the worrying, sort of quieting it, and the therapy is good for figuring out better coping mechanisms. But definitely take this seriously--it's not something to ignore, but with the right assistance, it's totally manageable.
Good luck.
i did talk to my mom and she said she would set up an appointment for me but do you have any suggestions to calm my anxiety when it occurs?
I think you are on the right track with both your understanding of the problem and your desire to get a handle on it now. I suggest you get some psychotherapy, it should be quite helpful.
Can you talk to your parents, doctor, or someone else about getting this started soon?
