Yeah, it is doubtful whether a pill can fix this. When introducing them to the market, they always say that pills against anxiety are not addictive. But then they all turn out to be addictive. Aloradine may be the same! I am seeing a psychologist.

You must first have insight before you can try to act on those insights. A good psychologist (some psychiatrists too, and psychoanalysts) can help you explore these issues if you are not getting anywhere on your own. Once you know more precisely what you're afraid of, you can try exposure therapy -- deliberately, with will-power, you act contrary to your inclinations, and force yourself to confront your fears and anxieties. With continued practice, it will become easier and easier.
