Has anyone taken pills for anxiety?

I find as I’m getting older and after i became a mom my anxiety has gotten increasingly worse. I’ve become paranoid to take him for walks or shop at malls because I’m afraid of getting shot, stabbed, ran over (during the walk) or abducted. My social anxiety with other people has gotten worse as well. The feeling of an argument coming on/any tension with my boyfriend give me terrible anxiety as well. I’m starting to get feelings of depression because of this anxiety. Any tips? What did you do if you’ve been in this situation? Thank you :)
