Really struggling with my anxiety...

I am struggling so much with my anxiety at the moment. I have issues daily, I do not leave the house unless I have a GP or hospital appointment, life is generally crap but I get through it.

Last week our world was turned upside down, my 30 year old stepson attempted suicide by hanging. luckily he was found before any real damage was caused. He has since been sectioned & admitted to a psych unit and even though on suicide watch he has attempted to hang himself again. My husband is stressed, obviously, but how can I tell him I too am struggling so much. He usually notices but he is so concerned about his son. I have tried to get an emergency appointment with my GP & there is nothing. I only trust 2 of the 12 doctors at my practice. My therapist is on holiday, she left me a number to call just in case but I don't know them I have real trust issues with health professionals. I am trying all the CBT tricks to keep calm but I feel like I am going to explode. I feel like I too am going to end up in a unit, my husband is away for a week from Wednesday to support his son. How am I going to cope with our kids when he's gone???
