Mindfulness Didn't Last Longer

My Present Issue
About a year ago, through internet, I came across the concept of mindfulness. I tried, but could not be successful. About more than a month ago, I gave mindfulness another try. This time it was very successful. For about three weeks, I remained without much stress, anxiety, anger and other troubles. But then its effect continued to decrease. After a week, I am feeling as if I have lost all the benefits. Again I am experiencing anger and aggression attacks, along with panic attacks.
Will someone advise, what should I do now, to attain again the same peace and tranquillity that I experienced during my best three weeks, I have told about.
A Brief History
Long long ago, I learned relaxation exercises during a counselling session. That was not mindfulness, it was just relaxing body muscles. During this time I kept doing such exercises but not regularly. There were great breaks. Ten years ago, during a counselling session, I was taught deep meditation in which I have to visualize a beautiful scene (15 to 20 minutes duration). It proved very helpful. But when I started going deep to get out of unpleasant feelings and thoughts, my blood pressure started raising. So I have no option except quitting meditation.
After many years, I again gave them a try. This time meditation did not raise my blood pressure. But I could not continue to practice them regularly, until I started again with the concept of mindfulness more than a month ago, as I have already told.
