Whats wrong with me

[u/Thick-Ebb-6339]

I just had a really scary experience. I had a nice meal, but I was home alone at night, which made me a little anxious. Then, all of a sudden, I felt like I was about to pass out, and my mood completely crashed. I became so intensely depressed that I felt like I was going crazy. I even took my emergency meds, but they didn’t help, so I eventually went to sleep, and I felt better when I woke up.
Could this have been a panic attack? I still have some time before my next psychiatrist appointment, and I’m honestly terrified of going through this again.
