Advice/Support on Social Anxiety

Currently I’m having a terrible time with my social anxiety and getting a job and keeping it. I tend to have panic attacks at work and decide in my head that I can’t do this anymore and want to run. Today at work I got that feeling of running away at work and I actually left. Once I got home I was a crying mess and am now slightly regretting it as I need a source of income. It’s just so hard to tell myself to stay and work when I’m getting a panic attack and feeling useless. I’m not sure what to do or what type of job I can do. Feeling pretty hopeless right now and a disappointment to not only myself but my family.

Anyone out there deal with similar social anxiety that gets that bad in work situations or any advice on how you cope with working with social anxiety? Thanks in advance!
