1. Since you have listed social and general anxiety as one of the cause of your problem/symptoms which reflects ‘emotional withdrawal symptoms” rather than “physical withdrawal symptoms” i.e. you have a constant fear of being judged or evaluated by and has resulted in anxious thoughts and anxious behavior.
2. As anticipatory anxiety is high thus practice relaxation techniques like yoga, meditation, Pranayam [anulom vilom] which will strengthen the relaxation response of body as opposite to stress response during panic attacks, [i.e. coping with responsibilities], don’t try to flee away from the situation which will reinforce the perception that your panic attacks are unbearable [remember they are uncomfortable but not life threatening], allow the symptoms to pass and you will gain ability to cope with them
3. DIET: Since the said problems can be grouped under GAD [generalized Anxiety disorder], dietary regime and lifestyle management along with Medicine is initiated according to “manovaha srotas vyadhi”
i. Avoid: excess physical –mental exertion, sun exposure, corrylium, smoking, errhine therapy, betel leaves, gruel, soup, day time sleeping, garlic, ginger, onion, spicy-heavy- junk food, mustard oil, pickles.

5. You can practice: bhujangasana,halasana, paschimottasana, sarvangasana, shalabhasana, shavasana and vakrasana and pranayamas like bhastrika and kapalbhati.
6. Lemon juice mixed with sugar in a glass of water helps release stress removing hormones from the body and bring mind at peace/rest.
