What to do about an anxiety disorder?

Umm, so, I'm almost positive I have an anxiety disorder. I'm scared of just about everything, paranoid, depressed, shakey all the time, etc. I do NOT want to be on any anti-anxiety or anti-depressants, my mother took those and they ruined her. I don't think I can go to a psychiatrist, since I'm so young, and my family doesn't think I should see one. (Since they don't believe I have a disorder.) Any ideas...?

How old are you?
Also if you have history of mental illnesses in your family i would strongly suggest seeing a psychologist they do not prescribe medication. However they might recommend you seeing a psychiatrist in order to help you help your self through medication. You don't have to take them and should feel comfortable saying no but on a positive note there are many different types and they work differently for every one. I'm on them and they work fine for me. Good luck.

meditate, get a lot of exercise, and for an hour a day, train yourself to think about absolutely nothing.
