Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. The symptoms like feelings of pain, crying spells, disturbed sleep, feeling of restlessness and sickness on talking to others etc suggest some underlying depression and also some social anxiety. Though more detailed evaluation is needed to confirm the diagnosis. Please dont ignore these symptoms and consider consulting a psychiatrist for these symptoms. Treatment of social anxiety and depression is usually done with medicines like SSRIs. Sertraline, Fluoxetine, Escitalopram etc are used commonly. These medicines help to normalise the anxiety when taken regularly. Apart from this medicines as Propranolol or low dose benzodiazepines etc can be used to control symptoms of anxiety in anxiety provoking situations. Please consult a psychiatrist for help and prescription of these drugs.

Thanks, Hope this helps you. Take care
