There’s no 1-size-fits-all for this question, @A MyCOPDTeam Member. Do you have any idea as to your triggers?
Have you tried biofeedback?
Have you tried meditation?

I went to a life coach to help me deal with my grief and anxiety to help me accept my disabled status and my financial fears related to being unable to provide for myself.

Finally, have you tried the steps in the attached image?

A good talk therapist can help you develop techniques and strategies for dealing with anxiety and depression, both of which are endemic among the COPD and chronic disease populations. I suggest a cognitive behavioral therapist. They're very good at helping you with the problem you're dealing with, starting where you are and working your way to a solution that works for you. All the suggestions the previous poster made can help as well and may be tools your therapist will use.
