At this point, when I unexpectedly see people, I find a reason to leave or I just quietly slip away. If I don't prep myself prior to seeing people, I don't want to see them. It's like, I see these people and whether I know them or not, I'm scared. I don't like this. I've never been this bad before.

Sounds a bit like social anxiety to me. I've had it in the past where I felt like avoiding people all the time. I'd suggest talking to someone about it like a therapist.

I've been diagnosed with social anxiety and GAD, so it isn't a surprise to me. I just don't understand why it's gotten worse. Maybe I'm just noticing it more, who knows. Right now I feel like the world's ending. Like someone's coming after me, which I know is the PTSD; but I also feel like something's going to happen to someone I love. I know how irrational and impractical that is, but I can't seem to rationalize my mind. I'm just scared in general right now.
I can't even make it to my therapist, lately. Maybe I can call him and talk about it or something.

When I feel heavy anxiety and am overwhelmed, my social anxiety kicks in at a higher level. It is like I see most people as a threat to my ability to get control and I withdraw more to protect myself. I am not sure if that is the case with you.

Also sounds like some catastrophic thinking. Here's a good worksheet:

I'm probably going to start using that.
