Believe me I go through my moments when I doubt myself too. I think what works for me is that even though I know what are my dreams, I always have a back-up plan. I have a good career so far, and yet I am still in school so that I can further my career. But that doesnt mean not a day goes by that I dont think about acting. I would say focus on the life you have now. Make the best of it, and do your best at all times. Definitely follow your dreams till the end. And expect criticism, because unfortunately thats the world we live in. As for you anxiety, as long as you keep believing in your dreams and pursuing them then that alone should give you pride. I was the same way, when I was a young teen I went on a few auditions and didnt get the part (except for an extra and some modeling jobs). I would get so depressed, I didnt understand why I wasnt an overnight sensation. But then I realized some of the worlds top acts had to struggle before they became famous. So now I live my life, and I continue to dream. And remember there is no age limit in acting. You can be discovered at any age. I use to think that if I didnt become a working actor by my early twenties then I was a failure. But now I know thats not true. Also, see if you can participate in any local talent shows or school plays. I always act up for my coworkers and family, it makes me happy and keeps me motivated. Good Luck and dont give up!!!!
