Talk to a doctor.: You can see a mental health specialist for an evaluation to address these issues and discuss treatment options. Meds such as ssris an snris are helpful; however, other treatments are available such as cognitive therapy to change automatic thoughts and systematic desensitization in which you are gradually exposed to anxiety provoking situations.

Treatment : Psychotherapy is very effective for dealing with anxiety and panic. It can also help you with your relationship issues. Medication is not usually the first line of attack, but do talk to your doctor about it, there is certainly no shame in needing it. Good luck and best wishes.
