While many of your symptoms are pretty classic for anxiety, a couple of them are not, such as blotchy skin and the buzzing in the soles of your feet. This is not to say that they can't be anxiety related, they just aren't very common.
Anxiety can happen to us at any age and stage of our lives, and you say that you began to feel these things just 4 months ago. Most anxiety has a "root cause" that triggers it's onset. Did something happen four months ago that may have set this off?
Was there a death, divorce, loss of job, health problem, major move, were you mugged, (or worse) did something frighten you badly, a car accident............think back to that time and you may find the reason anxiety has now become a part of your life. But anxiety can be very sneaky and it might not have originated with some obvious external event. It can evolve from stress and other internal sources.
That you are now experiencing the beginings of agoraphobia is a red flag and I'm glad to hear that you will be getting into therapy. (You must live in Canada or the UK since you are having to wait so long to see a therapist)
I understand that you had some blood work done and everything came back normal, but I would suggest another visit to your doctor to discuss some of these physical symptoms in more depth. You say that you "believe it's anxiety," so that tells me that you haven't actually been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder by your doctor. I think it's important that you rule out any organic reason for the way you're feeling. If the only card left in the deck is anxiety, then you'll know for sure that is what you need to be dealing with.
Once you've seen your doctor and a dx of anxiety has been made, he/she can give you something to help deal with that until you get into therapy, at which point, hopefully, you won't need it any longer. But if you do, that's OK, too. All of us here have needed that help.
You've taken so many good and positive steps towards helping yourself, just stay on the path you're on and you'll be fine. It won't always be easy, but regaining control of your life will be worth it.
Please let us know how you're doing and write anytime you need to.
Peace

yeh im in the uk-scotland-4 months ago i was at my docs and got a fright-he told me i had septicimia and had to get to a hosp asap.(i didnt have it)i am on biological medication for arthritis which has serious side effects,one of which is septicimia and the doc didnt know much about this drug as its so new that i think he panicked a bit,im glad he was thorough tho but i got such a fright,i shaked the whole day and every day since-im a total wreck,and back on my medication for arthritis now,which im constantly anxious about but have no other choice as have tryed loads others. my doctor gave me citalopram to try for my anxiety but they havnt done anything to help me. i get my bloods checked every month because of my biological treatment. i cant understand why i am so shaky and weak constantly,my buttocks and legs are tense 24/7,waiting for somthing to happen.the buzzing in sole of my feet have only hapened few times but is scarey and my nerves twitch constantly in my legs and arms.im not even thinking about danger and it happens,soo weird and frustrating that i ant control it!!

what kind of organic reasons do you think it could be?  i am not depressed and wondering why my doctor gave me citalopram,any ideas? to be honest ive to been to 4 diffrent docs and none of them are very good with anxiety tips-just referred me to someone else,and that was back in september-my appointment is end january(if i can make it out my house by that point) ive always been a strong,person,with good job in pharmacy,not much stress and brought my son up alone,im very laid back,nothing bothers me-thats whats bugging me about why im like this now. I did have post natal depression 11 years ago and was similar to this,although not totally-its the weirdest feeling EVER....
