Anxiety help.

I've been suffering with anxiety for almost 3 years now that I'm sure of and have yet to do anything to help myself except take a few B Complex vitamins and hope it will go away - it never has.
I've talked to many people online who tell me to 'talk to someone', but everytime I've tried they have shut me down. I'm classified as a 'teenager' and I'll get through it. But I can't do this anymore.
I need help but I live in a small town, I can't afford psychiatrist help, and I don't know how to approach people for help at all.

Hi Laura,7,
Thanks for joining the forums. 3 years dealing with anxiety on your own is a tough ask. I'm glad you've come here to seek some support. Talking to someone is a good idea, I'm sorry to hear that you haven't been listened to previously. This is a good place to talk through your fears and feelings with people who have experienced similar things.
Have you tried the anxiety/depression test on our website? This is a test that your GP can use to assist you with getting the best treatment. You can print the test result out and take it with you. The link is here: http://www.beyondblue.org.au/the-facts/depression/signs-and-symptoms/anxiety-and-depression-checklis...
You say you're classified as a teenager, are you still living with your parents? Have you told them about how you're feeling?
In terms of services that may be available for you living in a smaller place, you can give our support service a ring on 1300 22 4636 or if you'd prefer to use web chat, you can chat to our counsellors between 4 and 10pm using that: http://www.beyondblue.org.au/get-support/get-immediate-support
Please stay in touch with us on the forums and let us know how you're going.
