What you were experiencing was another anxiety sympom. Learning to control your breathing correctly, is a major part of controling panic attacks.

Don't worry, it's all a little bit of effort, but you'll be fine.

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
