Captain is it possible your dealing with anxiety. Some of your descriptions of impending doom and dread reminds me of what I was dealing with. It was originally brought on by stress but eventually snowballed to the point of being hospitalized thinking I was having a heart attack.
Just thinking about situations most people would find relatively normal would set off a panic attack where I would feel the walls closing in on me. I was afraid of getting into situations that I felt would bring on an attack. (Driving, going shopping or even standing in line.)
I was having anxiety about my anxiety and it really took over my life. It might not be what your going through but maybe worth looking into.
