So the other day I went to Wal-mart with my girlfriend, and we went about business as usual, but all of a sudden I got spooked. There were a lot of people down an aisle we went, and I just froze up, got super tense, and could actually feel myself beginning to panic. I felt like I was a massive inconvenience being in peoples' way, and that I was taking up too much space. No one said anything or gave me a dirty look, nothing. It didn't go away until we left. I don't have a history of social anxiety or anything like that, and I've been anxious in general and kind of depressed for a while now but haven't scraped together the will or the funds to start seeing a therapist. Is this just some new manifestation of what's clearly like, mental illness? Should I just stop freaking out about it?

It's a kind of one-off claustrophobia, a sense of being trapped. It is most likely not real claustrophobia, but a product of some other anxiety or pressure.
I know someone who is totally sane, He has a very intense job, and when he's under real pressure at work, he has moments like yours somewhere else.
In a way it's healthy, and a bit like dreaming. Dreams are a safe way for your brain to get rid of its crap. An attack like this gets all the anxiety out of your system in one big go, and in a relatively safe place.
