It just feels like all the pain, fear and trauma I experienced are coming to the surface and it terrifies me. I feel like I will lose control which is why I am on close observations in a psych ward.
Has anyone else had all their issues come flooding back when quitting an addiction?

Yes!! I was doing pot every night for 3 years. When I decided to stop it was miserable. I'm still paranoid (my doctors say delusional). When I stopped I was irritable and flew off the handle at the littlest thing. I also had more flashbacks and nightmares and got real jumpy and impulsive in public.
Ya know even going to NA, the people in there said that my pot addiction wasn't a real addiction like heroine or methe. And I'm sitting there freaking out and can't get my head straight.
