How Can Panic Attacks, OCD, Bronchitis And Loss Of Confidence Be Treated?

Hello, I have been having problems with my ocd since childhood but it was diagnosed recently and I have been suggested to either go for medication or to go for cognitive behavior therapy. I recently lost my job and had bronchitis which led to a sudden panic attack. Since then I am on franxit/frestina and nebicard 2.5. The frestina doesn't seem to help a lot as I still get panic attacks sometimes. I try to relax and calm myself down. I am afraid of stepping out as I feel I might get an attack and I am scared. Is there any way where my situation could be helped as I am losing confidence slowly. Thanks
