Hi COPDbites, and thanks for your post. You are definitely not alone as others in the community have expressed similar sentiments when it comes to managing this condition (COPD), and anxiety.
I do hope others chime in and share their own personal experiences with you.
I also thought you might find it helpful to read one of the many articles we have published here (on COPD.net), which focus on this very topic. For your convenience, here is a link to one of them: https://copd.net/living/fear-anxiety.
Wishing you well,
