I need some counseling...

So...a little over a week ago I took my car to the local Nissan service department because the car was stumbling when it tried to start (after it sits for awhile). They look at everything and say "we can't find any issues, a level four tech looked over everything and the car is fine"

2 days later my Service Engine Soon light comes on and the car is getting worse by the day. I call them and tell them my issues and they say bring it back in. I start the car to take it to them and this time it's REAL bad. The RPM's barely make it above .5 and it is choking out horribly..BARELY running and shaking like crazy. I shift to reverse and the RPM's smooth out and all feels OK. I start driving it and as I accelerate it wants to stall out and feels like it "mis-fires". However, it has no problem once I get it up to about 60 mph and it runs fine. I get at a stop light and it starts to stumble again and shake

So now my baby is sitting in the express service bay while I sit and wait hours to hear a diagnostic. Why do I have the feeling I am going to be getting bad news from Nissan and also have them drain my wallett.
The reason I am so nervous is because of all the bad reviews I have read with people taking their cars to the stealership.
