I've had so much anxiety this past week or two about potentially losing my job that I can barely function and barely have any appetite at all.
After being unemployed for so long this job was a God send. It finally let me feel like I could function properly in society, empathise with people who also worked full time jobs and just not feel like an outcast in general when with friends or family. If I lose it, I don't even know if I'd be this lucky again with work.
All I want to do is distract myself or sleep - I just don't want to be alone with my thoughts for long. I've never felt this awful in my life, it feels like I could just start crying or panic at any given moment. Obviously I'd settle right back down if I don't lose this job, but if I do I'm not sure what sort of reaction I'll have.
Anyone just had an overwhelming sense of dread like this before? How did you deal with it?

Everyone feels desperate sometimes, don't feel like you're alone.
Try talking about it with people who care about you. It can be hard to open up and admit you're struggling but it's worth it. Also, perhaps you should prepare for the worst, by applying for other jobs and cutting back on your spending. And lastly, physical exercise can really help take the edge off stress.
