I am so sorry to hear you feel like you do, first you need to make an appointment at the docs as you sound as if you are clinically depressed and they will be able to give you meds to get that side of things sorted, the meds will take a while to kick in but it will be a start, as for the anxiety that will also be able to be treated and they will prescribe something for that as well as a short term aid.
Take yourself to the bathroom and have a nice warm shower or bath that will make you feel at least a little better.
Have you no family that you can call to talk to? if not ring this number to have someone to talk to 0808 808 0545 its a free number, let me know you are ok PM if you want

There is nothing unusual about fearing taking the tabs but some times when its really bad it is a good idea just to have a short course of them to kick start your repairs if you see what I mean, did he not give you anything in the interim.
I know how bad things can get and you are lucky he has reffered you to see some one this quick I am sure they will help get you back on the right track.
