Will my anxiety ever go away?

This is a question I get asked very often. The answer is definite yes. I have lost count of the number of people who have gone on to fully recover; all it takes is a little patience and a proper understanding. I was one of those people who went through anxiety attacks for so long that I thought I would just have to live with it. I had tried so many treatments and began to give up all hope. Luckily I persevered and decided to go away and find as much information as I could. For once I stopped throwing money at all these miracle cures and decided to educate myself as much as possible on the subject. I was tired of being pushed from one doctor to another. I no longer wanted another prescription to try and make my anxiety just go away, I just wanted proper answers. What I found was someone who was very knowledgeable on the subject and was able to not only help me, but also point me in the right direction with my own studies. I was then able to lead myself back to recovery the right way. The one thing I did learn was that the best knowledge comes from going through it and coming out the other side, the only people I have ever respected on the subject all went through it and came out the other side, there is no other better education.

Shortness of breath or hyperventilation,Heart palpitations or a racing heart.,Chest pain or discomfort,Trembling or shaking.

I am speaking from personal experience, and yes mine went away. When you're going through hard times in life is when anxiety peaks. I took the right medications and found other ways to distract my attention and I have been fine ever since

It might not go away completely, but with help and treatment, you can learn to manage it, and to control it so that it effects your life as insignificantly as possible!

Speaking as someone with generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder, it might not. Not completely, but I once battled such debilitating anxiety that I would sleep with the lights on and dread leaving bed. I would get physically ill over the constant irrational fears, my anxiety controlled my life. It no longer has such an impact. It doesn't control my life anymore, it's just a part of it, like bills and red lights, an in convince that I've learned to live with. Your anxiety may never completely go away, but it can be managed to a place where you feel nothing but pride for overcoming it.

Probably not, but it may change in a way that won't bother you and won't disrupt your daily life. It gets better! Have hope.
