how to relax and stop stressing.

not exactly sure and i have never seen anyone but i might have anxiety, i dont know. I developed alopecia areta / hair loss from literally stressing so much in the past, i have hair now so i know how to maintain it but now my new problem is cold sores. I can LITERALLY feel a cold sore start growing in a matter of minutes when i start stressing. then it goes into a cycle of stressing because im stressing... meditating ain't for me that's for sure i've tried it. i need tips that help you all please and thank you. ( I stress from work to money to relationships so not just one thing)
