Soc. anx/depression: Judging from the information you have provided, it sounds like you have symptoms of social anxiety and depression. These commonly occur together. Please see a psychiatrist and take it from there. You should see your family doc to rule out a physical cause. Your psychiatrist should refer you to a therapist for cognitive behavioral therapy and other helpful modalities.

Panic attack: A classic symptom of panic attacks is to wake up from sleep with a panic attack. Often the attacks appear to have no trigger, but the underlying dysregulation of the stress response system is easily triggered into a panic attack. If the person also avoids things/activities for fear of having a panic attack, then panic disorder becomes the diagnosis. Seek cognitive behavioral therapy for panic.
