Default Yoga/Zen/Relaxation Tips?

So...I have pretty bad anxiety. Like sit around all day worrying about stuff anxiety. I cannot afford Cognitive Behavioral Therapy so I go for exercise...lately exercise has been tough, I've been battling respiratory infections all year (have had about 5 or 6). I've had all sorts of fun chest pain, and it sucks. I'm only 21...so I'm mostly feeling good. I'm getting back into a good cardio routine, and plan on lifting again soon. I do a lot of 3-mile runs for cadio, but sometimes I just do calorie runs. I'm working on lowering my mile time by summer, and would eventually like to build endurance to run 7 or 8 miles without any difficulty.

I was just wondering if any of you guys do breathing exercises, or meditate. I've started doing some 10-minute deep breathing exercises courtesy of youtube. But does anyone have any tips on how to just mellow out and relax for 10 minutes? I figure if I do that twice a day, plus stick with my exercise routine, I will reduce a lot of stress. Doesn't help that I'm busy with school either....
