I have anxiety attacks, but is it normal to feel anxiety all the time too?

I am never at peace anymore. I feel sick all the time, especially after I eat or if I am about to leave to go somewhere. For example, I am supposed to go somewhere on the T today and I feel like I'm going to puke because I'm so nervous about it. I used to feel sick only when I was nervous, then it was whenever I had eatten or when I was going somewhere, now it is basically all the time. I can't even try to do school work without freaking out and feeling super anxcious. Loud and angry music is making it worse, even my favorite songs.

It's like everything that is normal for me is gone and instead I just feel like the world is ending.

If I can't see a place that is social acceptable to throw up (even if i feel fine) i get really upset and nervous because i'm afraid that i'll have to puke and i will not have a toilet/trash can/outdoors to do it. If I can not easily exit a situation (the train, a crowded classroom, elevator, etc) I feel the same way.

Will therapy once a week really be able to help me feel normal again? I don't feel happy or safe ever anymore and I cry most of my time. I don't want to leave my dorm room (and I HATE my dorm room!) and I'm just downright miserable.

no it is not normal to feel anxious all the time but there are alot of people who do. therapy is fine but some meds to help you function until the therapy kicks in is something to think about. you are doing the what ifs. what if i get on the train and i have to throw up and there is no where to go. yes therapy can help and so can meds and so can doing a few things yourself. cut out caffiene, exercise, deep breathing, listening to quiet music. anything that will burn off some anxiety and/or help you to relax is good. god bless:angel:
