I haven’t been taking my antidepressants regularly and I’ve now got myself into a downward spiral of panic. I’m having really bad insomnia, depression. I’ve even been panicking if I’m gay but I’ve never ever had any tendencies, this thought was triggered for some reason by a guy on Survivor opening up. My anxiety is through the roof. Apart from taking my antidepressants regularly, what are some strategies I can use to ensure I don’t get myself into a fit of panic and fixation on horrible things?

Can I ask if you’re currently seeing a mental health professional? If not I recommend doing that asap

Maybe do some soothing and relaxing activities to occupy your mind and calm your nervous system, things like meditating, deep breathing, coloring, a favorite hobby, exercising or going on walks
