Hi Roslynn--how awful. I wish I could say that I have no idea what you are talking about.
For myself, episodes such as you describe are part of the worst of depression. Horror is the exact word I would use. I gauge the severity of depressive episode by their occurrence.
Somehow they are bundled with anxiety for me. Enough Xanax and I can blunt if not release that state, at least temporarily.
Then, my anxiety has never presented in classic fashion. Freezing is my m.o. Hence my anxiety went undiscovered for years.
I wonder what body sensations accompany your episodes?
