When you write: "I went to work feeling really anxious, and dissociated from myself"
Dissociation is a relative of anxiety
"I feel as though I'm barely hanging on, and I'm going to totally lose it any moment. I just want to cry, and I'm physically uncomfortable. I find myself pacing a lot."
Feeling physically uncomfortable and pacing sound like agitation and/or anxiety. At least short term, I would want a benzo. I know they prescribe Zyprexa a lot for agitation and it works pretty fast (although it wasn't a success for me).
I am so sorry for your pain and especially that your mom just makes it worse. And if you live at home, that is really hard. Damn! I wish we could make people understand. Would she go to your dr. with you?
If you need short-term disability - take it (sounds like you need it from your post). Screw people if they talk. You need to get healthy. I took it once and had some ect. I was scared to go back, but it worked out.
