Unfortunately meds can't always help which is really, really frustrating. It is sort of like asking for the magic cure pill for bipolar and there just isn't one. Ticks me off. Best to just take a deep breathe, sigh and know that this will pass. It always does. Never know when, but it does. Getting through the scary times is what is rough, but hopefully the more practice you get, the more "routine" it becomes. That is sort of how it is becoming for me.

Probably not the most comforting words, but I get what you are saying. You are in solid company here.
