Getting diagnosed...

For a long time I’ve felt like I have an anxiety disorder but I haven’t had the nerve to ask my doctor. I’m 16 so all my appointments are with my mom and I’m worried to bring up these thoughts with her because she a) thinks anxiety is a choice/mindset, and that b) I like to self diagnose myself with random illnesses anyways. Is there anything I could say to a doctor that would clue them into me potentially having an anxiety disorder without me saying the words? I don’t want my mom to make me feel more crazy than I sometimes think I am but at this point I’m so desperate for my symptoms go away because it really interferes with my daily life 😞
