Generalized Anxiety Disorder?

I think this is the right place to post this..

Okay, so I have HORRIBLE anxiety. I can't bare getting a B on something at school, so I'll seriously worry about it at night. I can't sleep unless I have ALL my homework or whatever I'm supposed to have done, done. My close friends are always saying I worry about the smallest things.

For example, the other day I had some algebra I didn't do, and I panicked at lunch because I was afraid I'd get a zero for not getting it done. I also panic the night before I have a test and will seriously try to think of things I DON'T know and then I'll end up getting out of bed to figure it out. I'm always afraid I'm going to fail at something, no matter what it is. Like I got a 100% on this social studies test I took the other day and I spent that entire day worrying about it.

So, anyway. Is this normal anxiety, or could it possibly be a disorder?

The basis premise of most mental/emotional disorders is that the symptoms experienced significantly impacts one's ability to carry on with daily life as non-mentally ill persons would be capable of.

If you are concerned, only a trained professional can give diagnoses and specific info regarding disorders. As peers, we are not in a position to say any more.

Yeah, I just wanted to know if it was something that probably everyone else is experiencing, or it was just me.
