Should I go to a therapist or doctor?

I've always had anxiety, but the last 2-3 years have been getting seemingly worse.
pills are scary.
I don't want to get worse or gain weight from pills, I don't want a careless therapist. I think I have social anxiety, or just plain GAD. Its to the point of me shaking and crying everyday over little or uncomfortable situations. The situations that are bad, make me go mad and i can't sleep at all.

Things as little as what to wear, or what to do, TO money and arguments with the boyfriend make me break down to a mess. Its becoming almost unmanageable, i feel like I'm stuck in my own mind, and everyone around me are free.

Im desperate for help.

Ps. I've never taken anxiety medicine or seen a therapist or doctor about it.

If you are hesitant to see a doctor or therapist or use meds, perhaps you could benefit from reading about some things that can help with anxiety --there are many good books in self help section at the bookstore. Although people make jokes about Dr. Phil, he has some books that may be helpful too.
