You may need expert help from a
psychiatrist or another mental health
professional. It seems that you are
suffering from a neurotic disorder
anxiety: social phobia, panic disorder, or
another psychological malady. An
expert-psychiatrist will help you
establish a correct diagnosis and
recommend proper treatment.
Psycho-therapy and social-therapy are also
very important modalities in addition to
pharmaceutical medication(s). You may
also investigate alternative modalities
for treating depression like meditation,
yoga, or martial arts...these have been
known to help people understand themselves
and ease anxiety for thousands of years.
