I can't help. But I know who could. Take a look in your local paper or ask your doctor where you can talk to a therapist. It sounds like some extreme response, but when you feel bad, sometimes it's just nice to have someone to talk to, someone who can help when you feel pretty helpless.
Personally, I see a therapist once a week. Helps me with my chronic depression and overblown anxiety.
Reading this was like reading someone chronicling what happens to me every night. It's hard to describe and my husband tries his best, but when I'm in the fetal position crying because I had a flash(not even a dream, just images that won't go away)about losing him and the kids, he doesn't quite know what to do other than try to hold my hand until it passes. Eventually, I did go to the doctor and found some help with medication. It's not 100% perfect and it certainly isn't the entire cure, but most days I feel like it at least levels the playing field for me so it doesn't happen as often as it did before. It's not an option for some people and I agree with the previous poster about therapy

*Hugs* I don't know if you're seeing a doctor for this or not, but it sounds like you ought to think about it. It sounds like you might be bipolar--such severe mood swings make me think there's got to be a biochemical cause for it. (I'm not a doctor, but I am a paranoid schizophrenic and have been seeing one for almost thirteen years. I can relate, I really can.) A doctor could help you figure out the actual cause for it, and help you find the right thing to do about it, be it medication or therapy or both. You're not weak, and don't ever think so--the fact that you're dealing with life in spite of it speaks to how strong you must be.
If there's one thing I learned the very hard way, it's that you can't always fix things on your own. I know trusting people with something like that is really, really hard, but there are people out there who can help--not just doctors, but ordinary people. I know you don't know me from Adam, but I've been in that dark place and there is a way out, even if it's not easy to find. I know how alone things
