Thank you all SO much for taking the time to talk me through this and share.
I'm doing better today, and I decided that it's best not to alter my schedule and stay home...it's best to just push though it no matter what.
I did manage to get a nap yesterday, and go to my daughter's band concert last night (sitting in those metal folding chairs is NO FUN!!!  ) then woke up at about 12:30 this morning and didn't go back down until around 4:00.
But! I didn't post any middle-of-the night panic stricken rantings, so I must be calming down and getting some peace with what's going on. 
You guys really are a HUGE help for me...you are like my guardian angels...
