Social anxiety and how it's ruining my life

...See more I've had it all my life. It's just keeps getting worse when I think I already have the worst of it. I can't be around people without feeling like I'm going to cry, panic attacks, heavy painful feelings in my chest. I just want to be a normal teen. Not asking for everything like love or friends or those memories that feel like your in a movie. I want to be able to handle simple conversations or be able to defend myself instead of just taking everything. I've had countless nights crying myself to sleep desperately asking myself why I can't just be normal and clinging onto the faint string of hope that I'll one day at least make a friend. But it just keeps getting worse. Deteriorating my mental helf down to dangerous levels. What makes it so much worse is that it's starting to effect my relationship with my close family. I have about four people in the entire world I can be myself around and they're all my family. But recently I've been anxious around even them to. Now the anxiety is never ending. I don't know what to do. I need therapy but I can't afford it, I'm still a minor, and I can't tell my mom. She's not.. okay. She can't handle it. And I have a very real fear she wouldn't care. I also have very complicated and miserable family issues on top of it all. But other than therapy, I have no one to talk to about this and no one to talk to without anxiety in general. So I don't know what to do. Therapys not an option or medication or just simple human connection.. anyway this is sort of just a vent but also kinda cry for help I guess? Anyone please help if you can. Open to all replies.
