What type of episode am I experiencing?

[bmilb]

Hi-

Sometimes when I am sad or frustrated, I get angry at the world but also depressed about it. My body begins to shake in my arms and my chest feels pressured. I cry and feel trapped, so whenever comes to comfort me I get even more stressed and suffocated.

The worst feeling I have is when I feel out of body... Almost like my body is a big coat that I want to take off. It usually feels physical and mental, because my body is shaking and I also my mind feels heavy and sad. Once I begin to calm down and stop crying, I still feel out of reality and shivery (but less than before).

Currently I am taking Prozac for anxiety and ADHD medication... before I started taking any medication I had episodes similar to what I've described.
