You've taken the important first step in writing it out.
Learning techniques to help reduce anxiety symptoms in the moment, especially breathing will help you remain calm and clear headed to focus on the task.
Keep a daily journal to help you figure out what works best when.
Best wishes as you find your better balance.
Just a thought, is it worth you having a lung function test? I have been diagnosed with lung problems and the breathlessness from that causes panic. Hope it’s not that for you and you find something that helps.
