well I know that riding in the car triggers it, but thats not the only thing.
Have you looked into CBT or tried any mindfulness training? It might try to help you pinpoint some triggers or at least lessen the anxiety. A larger component of CBT for anxiety is exposure therapy though, so you you'd need to figure out some triggers first, or purposely find situations that make you anxious (going to the mall on a Friday evening, driving in traffic, etc.)

From the always-reliable (*snort*) Wikipedia: "CBT has been shown to be effective in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder, and possibly more effective than pharmacological treatments in the long term."
So it might be something to look into

I reserve the right to back out of any of any trade, especially if you give me a reason not to trust you. Plain and simple. My feedback score speaks for itself, I always deliver!
Even knowing ONE thing that causes you anxiety is enough to help, though! I'd look into some CBT in your area as well as mindfulness training, it's a great alternative to medicine - you might never need anxiolytics to help at all.
Thanks for the advice, I need all the help I can get, it seems like no one else in my life understands what Im going through, even when they try they cant

Well I completely understand. I've been where you are and am still struggling with my own issues. but it does get better I promise. You just have to want to help yourself and be open to different types of help. It might help you in the long run that you're averse to medications as 99% of the time people need more than just a pill - they need the therapy as well.
If you ever want to talk I'm always here to listen
thanks

yes. i have generalized social anxiety, and it gets so bad that i can't leave my house/pick up the phone/ go on fb/ etc
i've had this for as long as i can remember
its just gotten worse over the years
I don't know if I'm suffering from anxiety, but I'm very stressed because of all my exams and works at school. I have so much to do. Like a week before each exam I wake up at every hours in panic because I'm sure I haven't studyed enough.
I think everyone suffers from anxiety, unfortunately a few people suffer worse than everyone else.
Hope it gets better judd
I suffer from Anxiety, especially when i'm in public, gosh I hate it.
