Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. You did a good job by self-diagnosing your anxiety. That always happens. First self diagnosis motivates us to consult a doctor. As you diagnosed psychiatric problem, you intend to consult a psychiatrist. Great job.

But in my advise, your case could be cleared just with the help of a psychologist who uses psychological counseling and psychotherapy techniques effectively. You may not be having to take medicines.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
