I'm sorry things are so tough. You have some good insights - but I know "knowing" what might be the trigger doesn't extinguish all those bad feelings. Perhaps you can break things down into small, doable pieces.
I've been feeling like you - but up and down. So when I'm "up" I do things like make a menu for the week so I don't have to make decisions when I'm overwhelmed. Last Tuesday I think I ironed the whole week's worth of outfits just so I'd know that I'd at least look put together. Order groceries online - it is worth the delivery fee.
Have an escape pod ready. Pick a light book - even something you've read before and love. Or movies or TV of predictable shows. Even benign worry right (like over a favorite character) can stimulate your stress levels. Try to get enough sleep and drink plenty of water. Walking helps too, especially if you can go with an animal or friend.
I hope writing it all out helped. Good luck with the show.
