Bad anxiety... 😖

Does anyone else get reckless and impulsive when they have bad anxiety? Today I drove to a college to register for classes and I was the only one standing in line and no one was coming to the counter for a while, as people waiting in their seats sat there looking at me, so I got really bad anxiety and ended up leaving before I got to even talk to anyone at the counter. On my way home I still had anxiety and scraped my car at a gas station, misjudging my turn. I know my anxiety is a problem and it's effecting my everyday life. Idk what to do. I've tried medication for it before but I don't believe it worked. Has anyone tried an anxiety medication they know works or any way to help their anxiety without medication?
