Sounds like you're having a panic attack - with luck you're already sleeping and will wake in the morning with some relief. If not - know with confidence that panic and anxiety will not hurt you. It feels terrible and is scary and feels like your body is broken and failing you- all part of what your body is SUPPOSED to do when it's faced with certain situations. Problem is sometimes (for those of us with panic/anxiety problems) it will detect danger when there isn't any.
What meds are you taking currently. Any benzos? Anything that you can take to get you over a bad hump?
About what to say to your doc on Friday - I agree- write down your thoughts. and experiences Do you keep a journal?
I also don't know your Rx history - I know you've been struggling and I'm sure you've tried many many things. But not sure what has worked in any way and what hasn't.
In any event, hang in there. This is the hardest, scariest thing - but can be managed. Keep the faith and know that there IS an answer. You just haven't found it yet.
