is this extreme anxiety??? =/?

I asked a question similar to this about a week ago and i got a lot of the same answers =/
I'm 14 (a lot of people say it's my hormones) and i'm worried about EVERYTHING...
For example, if my friend asks me to come over to their house, i automatically think of all the possible scenarios that could play out badly for me (and a lot of them are completely stupid...) like, i'll choose not to go over there because i'm afraid i'll wear a pair of jeans that are tight and uncomfortable and so i won't want to get stuck there in tight jeans for the entire day... or, i'll be afraid that i'll end up annoying them or something then it will get awkward between us...
it's really irritating that i do this... i like hanging out with my best friend (he's like a brother to me) but i just can't help but feel trapped there as soon as i get into his mom's car =/

and also, i'll start worrying about my boyfriend or something when he isn't able to call (like the other day he promised he would come over to see me but he couldn't call or stop by and that night he sent a message to me on myspace saying he was sorry and sad and he wanted me to call him asap once i woke up... so, i spent 2 hours laying in bed worried about why he sounded so urgent... whether it was just that he was sorry for not calling or that something bad had happened or what..)

a lot of people tell me to go see a counselor or a doctor but i'm too afraid of talking about this with anyone because it's weird and because i don't have a doctor i go to see... when i'm sick (rarely) i go to the hospital...
so, yeah =/
and a lot of people also tell me i need to be put on ridelin (sp?) or some sort of anti depressant but i don't wanna do that because they're addictive and i'm too scared that they'll change me and i won't be ME anymore =/
please please please help >.<
i'm tired of this :(

Hello there. I have a daughter your age and what you are describing is completely ok....You're not crazy! Heck, I am divorced and in my 30's and I sometimes worry when my boyfriend doesn't call It is normal. Have you talked with your parent(s) about this? In know it would be uncomfortable but my 14 yr old daughter has came to me with questions and when we finished talking she said, "I was worried about coming to you with this, but now that I have, I feel much better and it wasn;t as bad as I thought it would be."...The same goes with the other situations where you feel anxiety. It is not as bad as it seems. Are you getting enought sleep? Try taking long walks or breathing deeply and saying, "I can get throught this"...Becuase you are strong and you can do it...

Hi~~~ Oh my gosh! You are living my life now that I did when I was your age.... AAahhhhhh... I'm so sorry this is happening to you, You would be surprised that as you get older and talk to different people that so many people have gone thru the same thing during teenagehood. I was asked if I wanted to be any age would I want to back to being a teenager.My answer: NEVER !!! This is the hardest time of your life. I worried about so many of the same things that you wrote about. and so much more that you haven't written about. How about not wanting to go to the bathroom at your friends house, aahhhhh.... Not only 1 but 2, again NEVER. I don't know if its anxiety or just your brain being a teen but, I hate to say it does have to do with hormones, and NO you don't need ridelin. You have alot of kids at school who are going thru the exact same thing ,but no one at this age talks about it because your afraid that everyone will talk about you ...right......and there is nothing wrong with you.
