unbreakable paranioa and anxeity

hey, im an 18 year old on the spectrum,aspergers, and i have a really big problem that i hope someone here can help me with

when ever im in college classes or similar enviroments, i cant help thinking about that other people are thinking about me, what i am doing, the wat i look etc. part of me knows these are silly things to worry about but i cannot stop constantly thinking about and every overhead giggle and group burst of laughter just fuels the paranioa.

to make matters worse the stress from this and other factors in my lif has lead to comfort eating, whihc has ment i am visibly gaining weight which adds to the paranioa relating to the way i look to others and its getting worse and my own parents keep on at me about my weight to the point where they are stressing me out and its adding to the complusion to eat and i dont dare tell them they are a part of the problem because i know they will most likely get angry at me for suggesting they are a part of the problem which they go on at me about.

 

its all to much, if anyone can help i would appreciate it so much
