1. try moving around in the box. get a feel for where you see pitches better and feel more comfortable2. simplify. go back to basics. when you swing, do nothing but get the hands back, explode with the hips and follow through. the most basic swing is sometimes the best way to break out of a slump
3. get mentally syked up. dont go up there thinking "im sucking and cant hit" because you wont. go up there and say to yourself, "im gonna make sure i ________ during this at bat" that blank can be anything from keep my knees bent, to making contact. as long as you set a goal with each swing you'll start to piece things together and you'll be outta that slump in no time
Have you looked at video of when you were swinging well, and your swing now?
Might just have the bat off plane or your stance might have narrowed just enough to make you feel uncomfortable. A few Ks and bad hits will throw you into panic mode.
Check out some film and see. Its probably a simple fix.
try starting with your elbow up, like alost even with your ear or top of your head with the bat up in the air it gives you more of aline drive swing also you might try a little toe tap instead of a long stride that work too with time and especially with that type of stance

If your getting frustrated you probably keep trying to swing harder and harder which will only perpetuate things.Settle down and focus on making contact. Don't try and pull the ball, just take it the opposite way. A little flare to the opposite field is all you need.
As far as laying off pitches out of the zone, that is just part of the frustration. Maybe just take until you get a strike on you to get a better feel. Once you get a couple hits you will be a lot more confident about taking pitches, even strikes. By taking that easier, contact swing it enables you to be a two strike hitter as well.
