I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You are having anxiety and that is evident. Please understand that the symptoms you are mentioning here are normal to any anxiety disorder. Therefore, that becomes normal for you too. Anxiety disorder patients are aplenty. Nothing will happen if you are anxious.

Start with these simple steps

Step 1 - Practice Deep and full breathing whenever possible
Step 2 - Drink plenty of water and fruit juices.
Step 3 - A Tomato a day keeps anxiety at bay
Step 4 - Exercise regularly

You should know that these problems are not mental diseases, but are mental disorders. Many researches and researchers confirm that medicines alone cannot cure mental disorders. Exercise, Life style changes, change in thinking pattern, relaxation etc are as essential as medicines. Psychotherapy can help you changing your lifestyle and thinking patterns. Yoga and meditation help you to streamline your metabolism and neurological balance. Please consult a psychologist for further information.
