I had a thought earlier - "I'm trapped in my own mind and body and I cannot get out",
and I've been feeling panic ever since.

Questions of the universe and existence are whirling around me.

Why am I now questioning our reality?

I cannot get a handle on life.

it's freaking me out.

If you are in a tailspin, you have to break it with a distraction. I find nature parks do that for me especially if they have water like lakes or rivers or streams. See if that helps calm you down and ease your anxiety.
