It would be best to consult with a therapist who can talk you through this difficult time. No need to live in fear.

Your psychological conflicts can be handled and you can learn coping styles which will create calmness and stabilization. Might start with a psychiatric consultation, and consider initially at least, employing medication. Would highly urge counseling with a cognitive-behavioral therapist. Learning meditation and adding biofeedback therapy would add value.
