Although only a doctor can diagnose you, it does sound like anxiety is the problem here. I heard that taking the supplement GABA is good for anxiety. Its important to take supplements with food and ask your doctor if you're combining supplements with medications because they can cause interactions. You can get GABA at your vitamin or nutrition stores.

Re your job - start actively looking for a better job but just accept this in the meantime since its money in your wallet. Accepting its a short term thing until something better comes along makes coping easier. Its also sounds like you're over thinking - so make a list with 2 columns - one side are things you can actually find a solution for and the other side are things you can't change...let that side go and don't worry about them.

How is your diet and exercise - start eating healthy and make time for exercise. You can also learn how to do slow deep belly breathing. Do the slow focused breathing when you start to feel anxious. It can also be intimidating at this time in your life - becoming a responsible adult and getting ready for the future can seem daunting. Here's a website which lists natural foods that boost GABA naturally - green tea is an easy way to boost it.
