Anxious and scared.

Idk if it's because of increased access to social media but with all the bad stuff that's going on in the world.. it's making me have panic attacks and I feel like my anxiety is constantly elevated. It's pretty bad. I'm alone and scared. I can't sleep through the night & I keep thinking of all the things people are saying about everything that's happening and it's all frightening me. If anyone could just say something comforting and reassuring to calm me down, it would be greatly appreciated.
