TerrifedAndFeelingAlone

Well this is my first time every being on a forum and my first time ever talking openly about my anxiety and panic attacks.
I am 22 years old and have been struggling with terrible panic attacks for as long as I can remember, even at a very young age I was a very nervous child. I have tried everything possible to get some kind of control on my anxiety but nothing has helped me and I am terrified of taking medications.
I just started my first job ever and have been a complete wreck since my first day. As soon as I get home I start crying uncontrollably and am unable to calm down for hours, then I am unable to eat or sleep. I actually dread going back to work as today is my first day off. I am terrified, but I don't want to let my boyfriend down and my family is so proud of me I just don't want to fail them...I don't know what to do.
