Read about it in the article above for starting to deal with it. Breathing exercises will help you, so will meditation, and cutting coffee and caffeinated drinks like Coke from your diet.
Note: it doesn't signifies the degradation of your mind, it's more related to your breathing and your thinking patterns than to any thing really broken in your brain. And it's perfectly treatable. |
I'm going probably end up cutting back on caffeinated drinks. Thank you for the reassurance, by the way. I was worried that my mental health was getting worse, rather than better.

I'm always in the process of making changes, or at least that's how my life has been for the last year. I would suggest that you turn those negative thoughts into some motivation to change. That is, if there are things that you truly do feel that you need to change about yourself.
