The dizziness/ vertigo and the ankle problems may or may not be related. It looks like you have vertigo (balance problems when standing up are typical) and it started during childhood. Did anything happened then, that caused the vertigo, could be infection, trauma to head, or surgery... The vertigo by itself can cause anxiety or even panic attacks, so Antidepressants may help, but may not cure the vertigo. Did you see a doctor, did you get any tests done, to identify the cause of the vertigo?

Examples would be walking slowly while turning your head from left-right and up-down, focusing on an object in the distance and moving your head, standing next to a wall and kicking your leg up and back down, and standing in a corner with your eyes closed (eventually on one foot only).
But check with a doctor first, as these may not be safe if you are severely dizzy. It's a long process though. Months.
