Hi,
I went through your query. The symptoms that you have mentioned are suggestive of underlying depression and anxiety. Feeling nervous in public places can be a manifestation of social phobia. However, more details regarding your symptoms would be needed to make a confident diagnosis.
I would suggest that you should consult a psychiatrist for complete evaluation and initiating treatment. Medications like escitalopram and paroxetine might be helpful. You can also opt for treatment with cognitive behavior therapy which will help you overcome your depression and anxiety, feel relaxed and change the negative thoughts that you harbor.
I am sorry to note that your father died when your mother was pregnant. One of the reasons that you feel anxious might be the absence of your father while you were growing up. But to definitely say that is is the cause of what you are going through is difficult. Depression and anxiety usually results from multiple factors interplaying including chemical changes in brain, psychological factors and social factors.
I do hope that I was able to answer your query. Best wishes.
