I suggest you post this question over on our Complimentary Medicine Forum. If you don't wish to use pharmaceutal medication, they can offer you some alternatives to deal with your anxiety.
If your anxiety has affected your life as severely as you say, therapy would be advisable. Medications or natural remedies will only mask your symptoms, they won't fix the anxiety.
Please let us know how you're doing and if you need any advice on dealing with your anxiety. Most of us on this forum use some form of psychotropic medication, but we have a great deal of combined experience coping with the symptoms.
I wish you the best
Peace
