I can't eat out of the house anymore
When I go to a restaurant that I haven't been to often I get nervous about eating, somethimes I can't bring myself to eat. If I do eat, I usually have a panic attack. I'll feel my throat closing and think I'm dying from anaphylaxis. I know that sounds irrational but I just can't trust food anymore unless me or my parents made it.
I also have panic attacks about other health-related things, especially at night, which makes it hard to fall asleep. Last night I got about 3 hours of sleep max. I'm still a teenager- why am I so anxious about my health? And how can I stop panicking?

Hi Waffles, that looks like a diffcult issue to deal with.
Are there any incidences or anything happened with outside food in recent past which is why you started getting this feeling? Do you used to enjoy outside food before or you never used to like it?
Analysing our thoughts specially automatic thoughts can help us in correcting our thoughts. You can read more about automatic thoughts & how to effectively control them in the self help guide on anxiety (https://www.7cups.com/anxiety-help/). Also discussing your concern with your family can also help you, as they know your eating habits & will understand you more.
Take care
