I have no idea how long I was lying down, but I remember coming to, as if waking up, and noticing that I was lying on the floor, with no recollection of how it had happened. If it wasn’t for the pain on the back of my head, my shoulders and my left arm, I would have thought it was a dream...
I’ve read that such things can happen to people with severe depression or anxiety issues, but it honestly scared me to death when I properly registered what I had done. This is the first time something like this has happened to me, and I am terrified at the idea that it might happen again. I’ve spent the rest of today constantly supporting myself on anything I can find when walking, in fear that I might just collapse again...

here in the USA when someone suddenly falls, and suddenly loses control of mind and body that points to a physical health problem (something your family physician would deal with)
not sure what diagnostic criteria your location uses but here in the USA we use the DSM 5 and there is no diagnostics that say depression and anxiety come with sudden falls and loss of consciousness. its quite the opposite where here in the USA mental disorder diagnostics state physical health problems rule out having the mental disorder...
here depression is things like an overwhelming sadness, suicidal, extreme sleep changes, extreme weight changes, sometimes comes with psychosis (hallucinations and delusions)
here in america anxiety is being nervous, anxious, having panic attacks, sometimes extreme sleep changes, sometimes extreme weight changes. sometimes symptoms of hallucinations and delusions during a panic attack.
a person falling down is usually a physical problem so my suggestion is contact your medical doctor (some locations call this their family physician or their primary care physician.)
