Social anxiety and depression

Question

Asked for Female, 19 Years

I've been having social anxiety for a long time now. I'd seen a psychiatrist before and was on antidepressants for a year. I stopped it after finished high school. Im in second year of college now and the problem isn't going away. I'm feeling suicidal. I talk to very few people and go through intense experiences of anxiety and panic before meeting someone or talking to someone. I have terrible chest pain and break a fever by just thinking about such situations. I don't know what to do.
