I'm so scared and anxious and nothing is helping

[chocobikitten]

I don't know what to do I've dealt with severe anxiety before but now I can't deal with it. every time I hear of a nation is experiementing with nuclear weapons it sends me into an anxiety attack so bad I can't go to work. I'm unable to eat or do anything really and it's gotten to the point where the only time I'm not stricken by fear or anxiety is when I'm sleeping. It's bringing out old suicidal behavior I used to have and I don't know I can't seem to find anything that calms me down. Any advice would be extremely appreciated.

Hello. Try to keep your mind busy doing other things. Do not watch or read anything that is gonna trigger your anxiety. Always remember that worrying about something isn't gonna change the status of it happening or not. If anything happens it's gonna happen regardless.
