Hi Matthew, it sounds to me like maybe you're depressed more than anxious (but still also anxious). Usually someone with clinical anxiety will experience multiple minor episodes daily, in addition to the panic attacks you describe. However, depression and anxiety are very often co-morbid (they feed off each other) so it's not unlikely you have a less generalized anxiety disorder, such as social anxiety. If you seek medical help be wary of benzodiazepines (xanax), that tip comes from experience. Good luck!
