I can’t do anything now without anxiety ruining it. There are so few social situations that I feel comfortable in, if any. Even just meeting up with a friend makes my nerves go haywire. I constantly panic that they’re judging me and about what they might think of me. It’s so annoying, and I really want to be around people but my anxiety just can’t take it. I haven’t been formally diagnosed with anything because I’m too worried to tell my mom, but I just don’t know how much longer I can deal with this. It’s just in every social situation I’m sweating gallons, stuttering, trembling, hyperventilating, and get the nervous poops. Schools going to start soon and my brain just seems wacked and I really don’t know what to do.

Thoughts, all of them - including anxiety, come and go. You may think that anxiety is a feeling but it is mostly the story you add that is problematic. The feeling without the story has no impact or reason to be.
The thoughts that linger and return often are the ones you give your attention to. These can be good, bad, helpful, harmful, wanted, or unwanted. It does not matter. When you add a story or some meaning and an emotional reaction, that particular thought gets supper charged with the energy you have given and will be your constant companion - staying longer and returning often.
The appearance of a thought does not make it your creation or make it automatically meaningful. Some of your thoughts leave almost as fast as they arrive because you offered no reaction.
You are not your thoughts. You are the gate keeper. If you are interested, I'll point to some methods that should be helpful in calming your nerves and getting you ready to face things.
