You need to see a psychiatrist for a complete mental health check up. While it is totally possible that you have a panic disorder, only a doctor or psychiatrist can diagnose and treat you. If you do have a panic disorder, you will not "kick" it on your own...you will require counseling. Being that afraid of everything is absolutely no way to live. Please see a psychiatrist asap.
