Anxiety can be both confusing and scary when we first go through it in my opinion.  It can cause us to experience many symptoms which can both frighten and scare us in my experience with it.  Have you been under a lot of stress lately?  Do you have access to counseling or do your parents know what you are going through right now?  The good thing with anxiety is that it is treatable and can be dealt with effeciently with understanding.  In my experience with it, I believe that as with any challenge we face, we can tend to fear what we don't understand but as with anything, the more knowledge we gain about it the less fearful we are towards it.  Keep your head up...you are going to get through this.
