Suggestions how to help myself

My anxiety has been through the roof lately, it's getting to the stage where I feel sick/lightheaded whenever I leave the house. I've had to stay off work today as I barely slept last night and when I did manage to nod off I was having vivid dreams of killing myself.

Now I just feel in a daze and not sure what to do with myself. I want to avoid just going back to bed, I don't have the concentration to read. All I have managed to plan for today is find some food and take the dog for a short walk later on. I'm on my own until 10.30 tonight. Can anyone please suggest small self care things I could do to fill the time, or something good to watch maybe?

Do you have anything to clean? Paint?

I find planning and cooking a meal relaxing. Or listening to podcasts, putting something mindless on the TV whilst I do a task.

Or do something nice for yourself. Get a hair cut, paint your nails, draw?
