.As a teen functioning as a cashier at Target in the course of rush hour, Cindy Portillo would certainly struggle to catch her breath as her palms came to be sweaty and her center dashed.

It was just at 21, after years of feeling this way and performing her own research study that a doctor detected her with stress and anxiety condition. "I seem like I'm the just one in my family who has ever experienced stress," Portillo tells Refinery29 Somos.
