Greetings. In your post there are hints of OCD, and the situation you are in requires 'educated' assistance from a psychologist. Yes, there seems to be a switch being flicked inside your brain and psychologist's are trained to help you find exactly WHAT the triggers are and WHY they seemingly force you to react the way you do.

Hello,
Don't be afraid of your panic attacks or be embarrassed. They will always subside. Maybe getting an understanding of what is happening to your body during them, will make you feel more at ease. Im glad you haven't had one in a while.
I hope you have spoken to someone you trust regarding that one night that lead to your very first panic attack.
I completely understand the difficulty of doing even the smallest of things. You should seek some advice regarding washing your hands. Perhaps its a coping mechanism you have developed. I am not a professional though.
I hope you have found it within yourself to start and repair your mind. Its not easy. Ultimately, you are the only person that can turn it around. Medication and counselling are tools that will assist you in the repair. However you need to find the strength to get through this.
I have faith in you. You will once again be the old smiling you.
Don't give up! its does get better.
