I have a anxiety disorder and I am 11. Is this a problem?

I have had it for almost 2 years now. I have known this for a year, but havent done much about it. It mostly went away during the summer time, but now

I have had it for almost 2 years now. I have known this for a year, but haven't done much about it. It mostly went away during the summer time, but now that school has been going on it's been getting worse. During the summer I have had only 1 panic attack during the night, and now during school I have had about 3 panic attacks, and lots of anxiety. I had started to cut my arms with scissors, but not frequently. I didn't shed any blood. I realized that it wasn't normal or healthy at the time, but it released a lot of stress. I have had no suicidal thoughts, but haven't had very good ones. I have snapped under pressure a couple times, and I was worried I had no control over my thoughts. Almost like going crazy. I have gotten into a charter school this year, and the work is 10x harder than it was at my old school. I feel like it's going to get worse. My mom knows I have anxiety, but doesn't think it's that bad. I'm also scared that I might snap on my friend and peers, and make them scared. I do not feel as though I should go to therapy, as I'm not a threat to myself or others physically. Any thoughts?

or:If you don't ask for help from a doctor and your parents then your life's not going to get any easier and your anxiety is not going to get any better, just keep trying and don't give up on getting the help you need, anxiety at that age will be extremely difficult to cope with and will affect your work unless you, your doctor and your parents help find a way to improve.I also had anxiety for almost as long as I can remember I haven't received much help at all, only medication that doesn't work. I don't want to say to much since I've given up on trying to help myself. but the least I can do from here is offer you the best advice I've heardYour life is what you make of it Also Doctors will pretend to be useless but they can help you just have to convince them to help.Good luck


or:let me be real with you izabel. if you want help with your problem, its gonna cost. alloott of money. and even if you do spend the money, youll either be put in a mental health home for a couple of years... or youll be on pills that make you feel worse. trust me i know. what your going through. what i think you should do is first off, stop cutting your arms, like lets be honest here. what the hell is that gonna help? like really be serious.anyway, you need to start putting yourself in situations that make your anxiety trigger. ik its hard to do, but your young and your brain will get used to the feeling so much that it will go away. if you dont do anything about it, it will stay with you as an adult. good luck


or:I am 12 and I have anxiety disorders and tons of other disorders, I have lived with these since I was born, except the anxiety, I am only just now getting help from counseling, trust me, it helps a lot, no matter how bad the anxiety is, you should get help before it gets bad, it only gets worse if you don't get help. Counseling is not just for people who are a threat to themselves or others, counselors are there to help, no matter if you are a threat or not, it WILL help if you at least get help, you may get medication strictly for panic Attacks, the medication is to be taken when having a panic attack, don't worry, you won't be put in a hospital unless you are self harming or have attempted suicide, or you or your mom recemends it.
