Hello, I Have Been Suffering With Social Anxiety Quite Badly

Hello, I have been suffering with social anxiety quite badly almost all of my life. And recently it has been getting much worse and I can't control the anxiety at all. It has lead to me being really nervous to talk to anyone. Even my friends and family. Which is making life so difficult. I would go and see a doctor/therapist about it but I'm too afraid to. Is there anything I can do to help get rid of this?
