The way you get "quicker" or better at writing code is writing more code and you should get a lot of practise by looking into the subjects I have listed. That being said, quick and better are NOT the same thing and quick should not be the end goal. You should focus on doing things right rather than quick.
It's hard to know exactly what happened at your internship as an outsider but I feel like if the startup you were working at was stressing out its interns with tight deadlines, it was not a great place to start your career anyway. Startups often don't have the resources to provide the right development path for interns and junior devs; additionally, startups tend to be a fast paced environment which doesn't suit everyone's style. I wouldn't worry too much about not receiving an offer from them. I have worked with some fantastic developers who never received a full time offer from their first internship. If you are still concerned about how quick you are, you should apply to large or medium sized companies as they prefer slower development and will have the resources to support learning at a different pace.
I'm not qualified to answer how to deal with workplace anxiety. I personally find that being on a full stomach alleviates my anxiety most of the time. With things such as anxiety, it's best to look deeper into what's causing the anxiety and try to fix the root cause rather than treating the symptoms.
Good luck!
