anxiety or losing my mind?

I don't know what to do anymore. I tremble my breathing gets fast, my chest hurts, I would cry and at times feel like crying but I can't. I just tear up. I snap at everyone over everything. the past couple of days I lie in bed with a pillow over my face. I don't want to do anything. I have never been like this before. My kids think I am going crazy. If I am they are driving me there.
I was in an auto accident in 2004 suffered a broke neck. I am still in a lot of pain. I have 6 kids. ages 22-3. Five of them live at home. My  husband , well I won't even go there. I don't think I could sit here long enough.
I think I am about to have a nervous breakdown. Please help. It is getting harder and harder to function.

dj......it is obvious that you need some professional help at this point of your life..You are overwhelmed, and your body is expressing what is going on in your mind that you will have to talk through and sort out with a therapist.  You can also get some immediate relief through medications, so make an appointment with a good psychiatrist so you can end this suffering.
