However, the way you described it resembled something I struggle with. Perhaps youre interpreting the experience this way because you are just confused by what is happening to you. Thats how it started for me until I learned what was really happening.
Do an extensive search on Panic Attacks and Panic Disorder. Its NOT what you think. Its not anxiety. Its full blown panic. Episodes of nausea, loss/blurred vision, muscle weakness, tingles on the skin, hot/cold flashes, heart palpitations, sweating, paranoid thoughts like youre dying, etc. More often than not, they happen unexpectedly and fast.

A repressed memory? Possibly.
It sounds like I could have that. The panic disorder. I say that with most disorders though. So I can't really be sure. Not sure why I would get a random panic attack. I have all the symptoms.

I can only leave if I am with my parents. They have to do all the socializing for me. I am not sure. I get afraid of being alone outside. I've had times where my parents will split off and away from me in like a store. I can't find them and I start to panic badly. I get terribly afraid of everyone. I almost had a big panic in a store once because my parents disappeared and the store was busy. People everywhere. I was sweating bullets and couldn't breathe. I haven't left the house by myself in 3+ years. The only reason I left alone before that was to go to school. Which I guess isn't really going out alone. The one time I went out alone I sat in the car for 2 hours in a parking lot outside of the Hobby Lobby then went home because I was too scared to really get out. I was also sweating to death cause it was hot and the car was turned off.
