Hello
I feel so sorry to know that you've been suffering for so long!
Anxiety issues are common and transient but as you've mentioned that your problems are persistent and worsening over time, then it is a cause of concern. Some people have anxious avoidant personality which can cause such symptoms but we have to evaluate first to reach the exact cause and start appropriate treatment.

As you can see your problem did not "resolve on its own" and seems to have worsened with time. Psychiatric disorders rarely resolve on their own, especially if you have either genetic vulnerability or stressful life conditions or both. I would strongly recommend you to visit a Psychiatrist at your earliest convenience and start treatment because Psychiatric illnesses are like any other illnesses. They can sometimes be cured and sometimes managed effectively with treatment.
