Anxiety is a bitch. Perhaps try some alcohol to ease up the nerves before you go and ask for them. Do whatever it is you need to do to get your hands on them, because chances are they'll do you some good if it's that extreme.

How much alcohol is needed to calm you down without being drunk? I never drank before
Robert Johnson
Anxiety like this is common.
How old are you user?
Meds will make a difference. Especially once you find the right meds, with the right doses, specific to you.
You start by starting.

Depends on your tolerance tbh and what you’re drinking. I tend to loosen up after 4-6 shots without getting drunk, just buzzed
Jace Torres
I'm 23

Half a mixed drink on an empty stomach, eat, finish drink. That should numb the nerves, anything dumb happens blame it on the alcohol
Brayden Perez
Im 23 too, but i started to drink at 18. I think 1 beer is enough if your stomach is empty, but never ever combine alcohool with medication it will screw you way worse.

Don’t listen to this user, if you want anxiety meds going in smelling like alcohol is the exact wrong way to get them. Honestly just get a psychiatrist, even the telepych places that just have PAs on staff that Skype you will throw meds at you.
Or if you have the money, get a private shrink. I have to spend $250 every other month or so, but I’m now on 3mg klonopins, 30 mg vyvanse, 150mg Wellbutrin daily, and a Xanax script for breakthrough anxiety. And I finally feel normal. It took me months of debilitating anxiety and panic attacks to finally be coerced into seeing a private psychiatrist but it was worth it. The private ones also have very good communication too, I can ask for adjustments via email or text.
Tell them the truth when you go in, I need to be on a bunch of benzos but I didn’t lie to get them(and had tried just about every non benzo on the book from my primary care doc). Keep in mind family practices/non profit clinics/urgent cares will not prescribe benzos as a general rule. And for good reason too, it’s a bitch to get off of. I’ve had to come to terms with the fact that I’ll be on these for awhile. I tried tapering off 2mg a day that I had been on for 2 years and it took me 4-5 months to feel “normal” again, and then a few months later my anxiety came back worse than ever. Thus the private shrink.

You're young. The rest of your life is ahead of you, I shit you not. All the important stuff is still to come.
Are you in a place or a situation where you can go to a doctor and talk to them?
I promise you, the very vast majority of doctors don't judge.
