You have anxiety and lack of confidence. You are taking Stalopam Pluse (Escitalopram and Clonazepam) for anxiety. You are not taking the medicines regularly. As per my opinion the medicines should be taken regularly. The drug is a SSRI drug and should be taken on daily basis to see its effect.
Yoga, meditation etc cam ameliorate the need of medicine but should be done properly. Progressive Muscle Relaxation Exercises, Breathing Exercises help to reduce the symptoms of anxiety and are equally efficacious to medicines. Behaviour therapy also have excellent roles in anxiety disorders and are very useful in anxiety. Consult a psychologist for proper help.
Thanks, hope this helps you. Take Care
