The symptoms/situation you're describing sounds very like a prolonged anxiety attack. They can, indeed, last for a long time.
One option is to see your doctor and describe what's going on and see what they recommend.
Another option is to consciously work on releasing the anxiety, which can be done, though it take some practice to learn how. I'm prone to anxiety (though not so much lately) and the way I get rid of it is to acknowledge it, then gather it all up and put it in a very strong bubble, and send it off into nothingness, where I know it will be dissolved.
I find that meditation where I consciously connect to the earth and heavens and "cycle" my energy, replacing negative with positive, is very helpful.
Another thing to try is to just acknowledge the anxiety and the emotions it stirs up (fear, etc.) and then refuse to react to the emotions. Easier said that done, at least at first, but it DOES work if you keep at it. You say "Okay, I feel like I'm being watched, but that's just an illusion. I'm alone, and I'm okay. I only feel that way because of the anxiety." (Obviously, you name whatever emotion you're feeling.) With practice, you get to where you can sort of "ride above" it and while you're very aware of it, you don't let it overwhelm you (an analogy is that it's a bit like surfing, riding the wave, rather than having it crash over your head and drag you around). Practice this long enough, and you can start to sense the beginning of an anxiety episode and sidestep it entirely.
There are a lot of techniques, both metaphysical and practical, that can work for dealing with anxiety, certainly.
May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.
