You should go see a counselor/psychiatrist(probably a counselor first to get a feel for what you actually have) and get one some medication, OP. That's the only real way to keep it suppressed. I've been dealing with major depression and social anxiety for about 10 years and I just now got on some medication after a really bad episode.
So yeah. They aren't scary, and they aren't stupid. They'll talk to you for like an hour and then you'll have an SSRI and you'll feel better.
