Has anyone ever got rid of anxiety once and for all? I'm not saying managing it or learning to live with it, like full on BEAT anxiety and lives anxiety free?

I’m not sure that is possible, I think it’s something that needs to be taken care of. But I don’t think it will ever completely go away.
No, they haven't. Anxiety is grained into every human beings brain on this earth; it's to keep up safe in danger. It wouldn't be good if a car was coming towards us, but we had no anxiety and therefore just stood there. However, it can often feel as though you've beaten it! After feeling anxious all the time, when you start to feel calm about the things that used to terrify you, it can really feel as though you've beaten anxiety!
I like this question. I'm not sure it is 100 percent possible. Anxiety is a normal response to certain situations. It doesn't always have to be a negative thing. There are certainly ways to train your brain to respond differently to any situation. Some of these trainings can even bring about total life changes. As for as anyone who has completely removed it from their life? The only person I can think of that might have actually done it is a man named Siddhartha Gotama. But hes been dead for a really long time now so we can't ask him.
Anxiety isn’t a bad thing. It is what helps keep us safe from danger. To be completely anxiety free might not be the best thing. But learning to recognize it and see it for what it is. Can and has been done. Once you learn to recognize it and detach then it doesn’t run your life. It’s not living with it or just dealing with it, I believe that understanding it will allow you to become more balanced when triggers happen. Which to me, is beating anxiety. 7 cups has an anxiety module you can go through to help you and if you are still strangling with anxiety, then it might be a good idea to seek therapy to help you.

How do I get over feeling that everyone is going to leave me?Everything in my life is messed up. Motivation works temporarily and I'm not suicidal but feel it's pointless to live like this. What should I do to feel hopeful? How can I get what I need from my doctor? I feel extremely sick whenever I leave my house, what can I do? I have trouble with my school work due to procrastinating. And my anxiety always gets in the way. How do I get things done?A family member thinks I am lying about where I am going but I'm not, what should I do?How do I know if I did the right thing?Is it hard to think critically about something you love?How do I overcome the fear of cashiers?How can I convince myself that my friends don't hate me? I have this irrational fear that they actually hate me.
