What do you read when you’re going through a really bad anxiety episode / panic attack / paranoia spiral?

I don't read at such times.I focus on my breathing and try to empty my mind until calm.After calm I might read some stoic quotes to remind myself to stop being a bitch and deal with what I can and let go of what I can't.
>>24987965I used to read Buddhist insight/Vipassana meditation lit.Helped me through some shit times.You see things from other worldly perspectives and can heal your mind somewhat.For example I thought i was dying because I smoked to much weed one time and got really paranoid thinking I was having a heart attack, so I read some insight meditation and it calmed me down.Another time I ingested too much ketamine and for months and years after that I became isolated and withdrawn from the world, insight meditation and buddhist lit sort brought me back around.My biggest problem was drugs and those drugs fucking with my head.
