I feel absolutely helpless

Posted , 3 users are following.

The title says it all. I have had minor anxiety all of my life, but three months ago it took a turn for the worse. I was having panic attacks every morning before work, or at work, causing nausea (this stemmed from a traumatic experience I had on TikTok. It has since been deleted). I have emetophobia, so I freaked out and quit my job, thinking it would help my anxiety. In this time I had no appetite and was struggling to eat, or even shower. Now, I have a job at Walmart. I was supposed to start a couple days ago, but my anxiety keeps making me sick. I started BuSpar on the 18th, to help hopefully with anxiety. I am constantly crying, hungry, my head hurts, and anxious. I can't sleep, eat, or even calm down. Its like being on high alert 24/7. I go to college and live with my parents as well, but they are the most unsupportive, rude a**holes I have ever met. They want to put me in a Psych ward (I'm so scared to share rooms with people, and I need to be able to do my online school work. I'm also scared of medicine side effects, and I can't take pills well), and said if I don't go to my new job, they are kicking me out. I have little to no money, I am not in the best headspace, and I have no one to rely on to help me. I feel so lost.
