Even if there's nothing your PCP can do, it doesn't hurt to make them aware of how you are feeling, and as you've discovered, sometimes the act of writing it out can help.
I hope you start to feel better very soon.

You've put into words exactly, precisely what has happened to me. I've gotten scared that I can't find my way out of this. Yesterday, the anxiety was horrible.
I have been in bad episodes before. It seems like they just blew over. In truth, I sometimes had to work my way out. This is an unusually bad episode. Maybe it's going to take more effort that I usually have to put forth. But I've been frozen doing a lot of nothing. If I just keep doing stuff, like go thru the mail and pay bills, there's a good chance I'll make some headway climbing out of this pit.
I'm not as frozen as yesterday, so I will try.
I am glad I texted my PCP.
Thank you for reminding me that despair is not the only option. I did get through tough things in the past. That can happen again.
