Nothing like a gentle panic.
All the selection tools can operate in different modes - add - subtract - difference.
Have a look at this when you have time.

You can use the free select tool, or an another option is the quick mask where you can paint in a selection.
but your image area is mainly smooth curves and straight lines so I think using paths is best. The paths can be converted to a selection, added and subtracted.
The fill is something else. It is an artistic effect so up to you.
This quick try a gradient in bi-linear and sawtooth modes then deforming with the IWarp tool.
Use a new layer for your work.
Using my netbook here and the battery is rapidly draining so if you want an example it is here
