Suggest Ways To Deal With Anxiety

i think i have anxiety if i dont what do i have?
in yr 6 i was walking home from school, we left at 3:35 I was about halfway there to my house it was 4pm and there is a path which leads the shops and the shops lead to my house but in the middle of the path were 2 teens the teens were smoking and i was scared they'd kidnap me so what I did was I sat on my bag for an hour until they had gone but i think they left before cus my mum came and the boys werent there and i didnt have my phone
next day, there was the same path, and there was a man walking his dog and i thought he wuld grab me so i did like that fast walk
next one: 2 teens behind me, I ran cus i thought they would run and kidnapp me!!
I have sucidial thoughts, self harmed before with my teeth (bit myself)
I had a rough past, given alchohol by my dad when i was 3, dad used to abuse my bro, bro was involved in a gang and they would use to throw rocks at our windows, Once i was in my room and a person threw a rock in the window and i was young maybe 5,6,7 or 8 and it nearly hit me luckily it didnt.
What do I have ? anxiety,worry anything else? could my past could of caused this?
I sometimes hesititate to ask a question, it might be because im shy but i have noticed my confidence has defintaly boosted.
I sometimes speak my mind depends on who im with.
Im always thinking in bed and since im thinking so much its harder to go to sleep
Thanks.

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi,
well, from the complaints you have presented here, it is suggestive that you are having an underlying sense of insecurity.
There are various things that needs to be considered here, such as level of functional impairment, associated symptoms, age, social environment and detailed past history.
These complaints are more suggestive of neurotic conditions.
My advice to you would be to consult a local psychiatrist, as a detailed clinical work up would be required to established a diagnosis, and attention to your suicudal thoughts warrants a psychiatric help.

welcome for further suggestions.
Regards,
Dr Pankaj Borade
