My first panic attacks started around 18 and sound pretty similar to what you're describing. Firstly - you're not alone. I think pretty much all my friends went through similar experiences. Life is more complicated at a younger age than it ever has been. Secondly - don't worry. Easy to say I know BUT in my case my panic attacks felt like I was having a slight heart attack and I couldn't breathe or catch my breath. When someone explained what a panic attack was and that the absolutely worst thing that could possibly happen is fainting from hyperventilation I stopped being so scared of them. It's the worry and scare-factor that's the worse thing about panic attacks... as soon as you get the upper hand on that you start getting them more under control.
THE MOST IMPORTANT ADVICE: talk to someone now - don't let these feelings go on for too long without seeking out a counsellor or similar. The longer you leave it the more ingrained these patterns of thoughts will become. The best bit about what you've written is that you know something isn't right and you are seeking outside advice, starting on here.
DON'T make any really major changes e.g. dumping your SO right now whilst your feeling vulnerable. (unless he is not understanding and adding to your depression). Do look for the friends that are more than just shallow, 'good time' people. Do try to make a conscious decision to keep doing things outside of the home with people - this will help to keep you ground.
