Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello
You have severe anxiety and thoughts keep running through your mind. You also have insomnia. You are undergoing therapy and its not working for you.

I would suggest you to visit a psychiatrist.

Drugs like paroxetine or escitalopram will help you in long term.
Klonopin and ativan can help you to sleep and pass through this phase of severe anxiety.
As these are prescription drugs, psychiatrist will help you in this.

Thanks
