First off get a professional if you can.
Assuming you don't have a personality disorder or anything like that then you can get over your issues MOST LIKELY if you do cognitive therapy, exposure therapy, and/or use medication because these solutions will almost certainly treat the cause of your symptoms.
Now, I understand that you feel like you're breaking apart and I have felt similarly in the past although I don't think I ever got as severe as you seem to feel right now. But, the thing to do is to ignore the totality of your issues, focus on one recurrent disturbing thought or belief, and destroy it. Pick another and do the same thing. Keep this up. As the pressure goes down, think about all of your negative thoughts and write them down until you can't come up with any more. Start knocking these off systematically.
If you want I will show you how to do this and help you with the first thought of your choosing.
