What is this?

About two and a half months ago, I had a series of panic attacks that lasted several days. I've only had a couple more panic attacks since then, but ever since then my brain has been doing strange things. At first I was having bad anxiety as an aftereffect of the panic; after that, I was having near-constant disconnection. Now I'm having bursts of all kinds of strangeness.
Sometimes I feel depressed.
Sometimes I feel really frustrated.
Sometimes I have meltdowns that have no cause.
Sometimes I'm very disconnected from the world.
Sometimes I feel apathetic and can't enjoy anything.
My energy level is all over the place; sometimes I'm exhausted, sometimes I have lots of energy, and sometimes I'm somewhere in between.
Sometimes I feel horribly guilty even though I haven't done anything wrong.
Sometimes the world feels wrong, like I'm in the middle of a fever dream.
Sometimes I'm very afraid for no reason.
And sometimes I feel really good.

These bursts last anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, are usually very strong, and seem to happen at random. I've always had anxiety problems, but I've never experienced anything like this before. I know some of these things are symptoms of one thing or another, but I haven't been able to find anything about what it means when you have them all at once. Does anybody know what this could be?

It could be Bipolar. I have a form of it, but I stay mainly on the mania side.

Borderline personality - Characterised by extreme mood changes that usually happen fast without warning and can last from 1 hour to a few days.

Hey, it's just an idea...but if you want a true diagnosis then see a psychologist.

In any case, I can relate to what you've written. My moods are all over the place as well.

anxious disorder I would say, combined with depression(you should check Beck´s Depression Scale).
