Sorry to hear you are feeling bad today - but it might not be due to the patch. Are you on the combi part of the cycle?  Possibly could be due to the progestogen but if you've been on it for most of two weeks it would be odd for it suddenly to have this effect. You must expect to experience feelings like this while peri-menopausal  because your own hormones are still cycling underneath it all. Even while on HRT you will have days like this but you need to try to work through them and try to find other ways to deal with the anxiety that have been suggested on here, or the HRT won't get a chance to work.

Do hope the new HRT suits you anyway. Good luck with it and hope you sleep better  :)
