I really appreciate all the information. My anxiety manifests as an inability to express myself. Basically, I have lots of thoughts/answers to questions in my head, but I cannot speak. (Along with the typical increased heart rate, sweating, rapid breathing etc) I am pretty sure that I will not be able to "Make it VERY CLEAR to your p-doc that you MUST have help with your anxiety NOW." My plan at this point is to have a lot of written information to provide for my case. I am also uncomfortable with asking for a specific treatment as I don't know much about benzos or other options at this point. Thanks for the support!
