Doctors havent worked for me

Don't get into suplements. Find what's causing your anxiety first. Without knowing the problem you can't fix it.

I have done some of the stupidest shit in school, and I can assure you that it doesn't even matter. Sooner or later everyone will die and no one will remember you or what you had done. So try to get the most out of life without caring what others will think. Hang out with people that make you feel comfortable but try to get out of your comfort zone from time to time. The solution won't be to remove anxiety since everyone has it to some degree. You should aim to perform even under anxiety. I would also suggest you get into meditation since it can help you control your anxiety. If you are into drugs you can try shrooms or LSD since that can also help but I wouldn't recommend it.

If you're looking into supplements I would look into balancing certain vitamins and minerals that may be causing an imbalance/deficiency in your body. I would recommend vitamin d, magnesium, and zinc (zinc not daily). My biggest tip with anxiety is to not band-aid it, you have to figure out why you have it sometimes it's deep-rooted, or sometimes it's just an imbalance. Don't do drugs (besides MAYBE psychedelics responsibly and only as a last resort). Get outside as often as you can but try to be around people not just alone, this helped me feel more comfortable in social settings. Meditation as corny as it sounds helps a lot and it's hard to understand until you try it.  I'd also recommend getting blood work done to see if it's able to catch any issues with your hormone/vitamin levels (super easy just ask your doctor). I've been researching this kinda stuff for years, if you need more help just pm me I can help out

Dude, if anxiety gets to the point where it effects you physically, you need to see a psychiatrist and let them know so you can get some anti-anxiety meds onboard. Also, not all meds work the same for everyone and a lot of times they lose effectiveness over time. When you get put on a medication, just be open and honest with the psychiatrist if things are going good or bad with it...they can always try other meds or altering the dosage if things aren't improving.

I've had issues with depression and anxiety (panic attacks) for over 10 years and can tell you it's a lot easier to talk w/ a doctor every couple of months about your meds and adjust as necessary than trying to fight through things by yourself. That said, it's still good to remain active and be around friends and family as much as you feel comfortable with. Lifting weights and running have helped me with anxiety from stress, but that's entirely different than social anxiety and many other forms of anxiety. Talking to a shrink never helped me, and most general practitioners / family docs don't have the expertise you need when it comes to psychological problems.

No matter the course of action you take, I hope things improve for you man. Good luck with everything.

Unfortunately, my GP says that I'm not allowed to take any meds or antidepressants until im 18... which is sad. I've been trying to go to the gym lately to get into a social space which doesn't require much interaction, but i still get sick before I go, i think somethings wrong with me. I really appreciate your advice, and I hope you can also beat your depression. I kinda just wish I was normal.

Good Luck with everything,
