I do understand your concern regarding your symptoms. From the list of the symptoms that you have mentioned, it would be advisable that you should be seeking a psychiatric consultation for proper evaluation of your condition.
Social anxiety disorder and depression are treatable conditions. Treatment can be with medications and psychotherapy. Medications include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors like sertraline or escitalopram. Psychotherapy could consist of cognitive behavior therapy which will consist of regular sessions aiming at relaxation and changing the dysfunctional thought patterns.
