How do you control anxiety and panic under a time crunch? Many have suggested to meditate and take time off to relax.

But, I start panicking because I am under a time crunch, and I am losing time when I am trying to meditate or relax.

It seems to be a double-edged sword! How do I solve such an impossible problem?

I get anxious and panicked very easily, and I have lived with it since middle school, but it is getting too much. (And my health is going down hill too).

Thanks!
I really do not want any type of drug to manage it, however.
