Luckyhalogirl, I'm going to echo what others said. What you described sounds like a panic attack. Pulling off the road was the best thing you could do. Someone else mentioned self-talk to tell yourself you can/will get through it. Good advice.

You mention selling artwork to pay for therap. I don't know where you live, but some places have community mental health centers that charge on a sliding scale.

You might try checking out the PTSD forum here. The folks there have had similar experiences to yours.
