YOu must consult a psychiatrist. There are many good medications to handle your anxiety, and your social fears. Thinking about suicide means you don't believe you can be relieved, but know that you can, and do see a professional right away.

Hang in there. Time will take care fo this. Try to be positive. Try and get some exercise. I know you are very depressed over this as well. You can get help and you will be ok. I have had panic attacks on and off for thirty years with Agoraphobia and you can and will get through this. I know its scary right now but things will get better even if you do nothing...Try and find someone who will understand and help you. Call around psychologists offices and see if you can find someone who will come to the house. They do have MD at home services in sveral places.
