I feel like my heart is a massive weight that is crushing me. Anti anxiety meds help, but as my doc says. "This exceeds the capabilities of your meds, and are going to feel a lot through this one."

I am sorry, but this is not only anxiety - this is depression. I have been through this, with these exact symptoms - early awakening (depression can manifest itself both in early awakenings and in hypersomnia when you sleep for 16 hours not that given your employment you can afford sleeping for that long, but just saying - depression can disturb normal sleep in BOTH directions), and the heart being a massive weight that's crushing.
In my case, Prozac helped, and I am not on it anymore - it was not a lifetime need, but it sure did the job when I was at a very low point. Not saying that it would help you - the response to antidepressants varies from person to person - I am just saying that it is not just anxiety, but also depression. IMHO, having been there done that.
