Play low/micro stakes, and don't move up until you comfortably dominate those levels. You can also start with freerolls, and get some practice for free with a chance to win real money. I wouldn't play for play money because any experience you gain from those tables would be invaluable.

Even though the idea of playing freerolls or micro-stakes is a good one, you also have to consider that generally the players that are playing at these tables are either low-skilled or just don't particularly care and so don't really tend to "play good poker" as such. What I mean by this is, they are not generally a good "feel" for playing normal poker.

If you migrate from playing solely freerolls into cash-only games, you will fast find you're lost. This will probably lead to even more anxiety, if you're already prone.
