I agree with Mike M it sounds like the thermostat, it's an easy fix, three bolts, and one hose to remove. should take about an hour your first time, 20 minutes next time. It is a common failure in all cars new thermostat and gasket(o-ring)should be about $15-20 at the dealer.

Stop freaking out and fix it soon before you warp your head and cause some serious damage.
