If you can see a psychiatrist do it.  Constant anxiety with panic episodes wears you down and depression follows.  
I have had major panic attacks while driving for many years.  
There are medications which help get it under control, and therapy to help with coping techniques.

Good for you for getting out of a toxic living situation. No wonder you have anxiety. I would recommend seeing a counselor. They can help you figure out ways to deal with your anxiety.
I understand how you feel about the driving. Many of us that have anxiety also have problems with driving and getting panic attacks.
