fear of going to work in a company

I have fear of going to work in a company because i feel trapped, like i cant escape, feels like torture and like im in prison. When i 1st work in previous company i suffer a lot, i cried like crazy because i feel trapped like i cant escape and that makes me reject everything. I then went to further my Master Degree and that the best time of my life where i enjoyed the freedom of doing my thesis whenever i want and i successfully completed it. And now i have to look for a job and the fear starts to come back. I have GAD and i cant bear this fear of working in a company. I wanna do my own business so i can feel the freedom.

Anyone in similar situation with me? Cause i feel like im being absurd and nonsense and what im feeling is not valid and my parent thinks im lazy to work. No one understand me and i dont wish to explain. They frustrates me a lot.
