I am so stressed out!
I don't know if this would cause to continue to have meltdowns and Anxiety today but about 4 years ago I saw a drive by shooting in front of my house while I watching my 9 year old nephew and my 2 of my nieces who were 13 at the time of the shooting. I did have these meltdowns before the incident but I have noticed that they have been more frequent after the shooting. I still have issues with it like when I am outside on the porch and a car drives by and the exhaust goes off I cover my head and start crying.
I use to wakeup in the middle of the night screaming, luckily that no longer happens. I also still have severe panic attacks when I am cousins when I hear my cousins hunting dear in the nearby woods.

I am not a psychologist though what you have written sounds like something that would cause a PTSD type event. This is something you should discuss with your therapist as it is the type of thing the therapist can definitely help you with.
I still believe you need to see a psychiatrist for the other issues if for no other reason than to get a medical doctor to confirm the diagnoses. Your psychologist is not a medical doctor. A Board Certified Psychiatrist is a Medical Doctor better trained to treat the problems you described.
