Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I assure you that you cannot reach the stage of depression or schizophrenia with just anxiety and panic attack symptoms. You need to understand anxiety and panic attacks so that you come out of it.

Fear is fear for an object which is present. Anxiety is fear without an object, fear is just subjective. Panic attack is due to the subjective fear about a circumstances at its extreme. Why should we become panic to a thing which is extremely normal to others? That is where our anxiety and apprehension comes into play. Reduce anxiety and apprehension and you shall be alright.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
