I personally get anxiety from wearing an improperly fit hood. I recommend that you buy your own, and make sure that you buy a high-quality well fit hood. The Henderson H2 hood is an excellent option, but there are others. If your hood is truly the issue, you will do a lot better. Also when you get anxiety for any reason, you are best to signal your buddy, grab hold of something, relax, and close your eyes for a minute. The anxiety will subside. If it keeps coming back, abort the dive in a controlled way before full panic takes hold.
