Well, if you described the things to a pdoc or tdoc that you have described to us here, I got a thousand bucks that says you won't get committed. I'd bet my arse that a doc would say that you are suffering from anxiety/panic and give you a med that will help you to not feel this way. It's just my 2 cents, but I'd start with a pdoc and see what med he thinks is right and also see if he thinks you should seek therapy. I hope that you will. Take care.
