Will I ever be normal again?

So I've been going through what I consider to be anxiety or panic disorders for a little over 3 months now. I feel shaky at random times, my heart stars to race, my ears go numb and I just feel like I'm not myself. I can't have normal conversations without feeling awkward. I used to love being alone but now I panic. I used to be the person that would walk into a room full of ppl with so much confidence but now it's like I'm distancing myself from everything. Nothing seems to help. I just want to know will I ever be the person I was months ago??

You can get relief from panic attacks with a two-pronged approach.  Professional cognitive therapy counseling may be helpful.  Check with your insurance coverage, if any. Also, visit with your doctor to see if a daily SSRI medication would be useful.

" Nothing seems to help. " What have you tried that didn't help? Do you know why you are panicky? How old are you?

I'm 20..I've tried xanax at both larger and smaller doses. I've tried breathing techniques. I've been to the hospital a few times and they just say I have anxiety but I haven't been stressing lately at all. Many times when it happens, I'm just doing normal things like working or sitting.
Therapy might help because it is one on one with a professional.
