Panic and anxiety can be very confusing and scary.  For me, the most important step I took was confronting it through talk therapy.  Do you have access to a therapist?  In my opinion, the knowledge gained about how the anxiety affects you personally, can give you a lot of power to deal with it...keep us posted!

Try to get over your fear of seeing a psychiatrist.  Panic episodes on a daily basis need to be dealt with.  The sooner the better.  Relaxation or cognitive behavioral techniques are fine after you are stabilized on a medication.

You may not need a medication: just to find a therapist who can help you feel less alone with your battle.  Unrelieved anxiety inevitably leads to depression, and often agoraphobia.

Many of us went for years without help.  We understand.  I hope you will get help.
