Happened to me in 2009, and I reacted the same way you did - was convinced I was experiencing a detached retina and spent 6 hours sitting in the ER, only to be told that it was just the Vitreous Humor Separation that happens to literally everybody.
It might be nice if the eye doctors that one sees over and over again for 40 or 50 years would at least MENTION this to their patients before it occurs.
I hope the floaters you are seeing aren't quite as bad as your depiction. But in any case, they will mostly disappear over the next few months. Anyway, mine did, for the most part.
