Default A sign of anxiety? Depression? What?

I think I'm suffering from anxiety. Here are some of my signs and symptoms.

I have mild panic attacks, where my heart palpitates and I don't feel so well.

I constantly dwell on mistakes I've made in my past, beating myself up over minor things. Thinking I'm terrible because I've made mistakes.

Unwanted images flash in my mind. Like if I am working at the hospital, and I see a trash can, I get the image of a mother leaving her kid in there. I've tried blocking the images, and I've tried just letting them come.

Sometimes, the kids at the hospital are intentionally hurt, and it makes me terrified that I could do something like that someday, even though I have no history of violent crimes (any crimes, really, except speeding etc). The worrying is paranoid, I think.

I've not always been like this. But I have since May. What has happened is I've graduated college. I've been looking for a job, and a relationship, with no luck in either. I've also been very lonely.

What do you think?
a therapist said I have elements of some anxiety disorders.
