Anxiety can be hard to deal with, especially for those who experience stress more than others.

I used to suffer from severe cases of anxiety, constant panic attacks, and occasional bouts of depression.

It wasn't until I adopted these helpful tips that I was able to reduce my overall stress and eliminate those pestering anxiety attacks.

So, let's dive right in.

My breathing would pick up or sometimes become so shallow that I had to remind myself to breathe.
