Ive been suffering from anxiety for about a year now im constantly in and out of work and its destroying my life aswell as my relationships with partners , family and friends. Im really starting to think when will this ever go or what can i do to get rid of this anxiety before it takes over. I joined this forum so i could communicate with people who are suffering or have dealt with anxiety as i feel not many people understand so im asking if there is anything i could do to help and get rid of this once and for all!

Any help is very much apprehciated
Thank you

I know exactly what you are going through. Ive had anxiety/panic for about 14 years. It gets better although im not sure if it goes away completely. I would say the more you know about it the better you can manage it. Read up on it. Get books and see a counselor that can better help you understand it. Meds help a lot too. As far as people not understanding you well thats just what it is. They dont understand. Focus on getting better and not so much about other people. They will come around someday. My mom use to think it was all in my head and thar it wasnt real. But now she understands and supports me.
Hope you get better soon. I know the nightmare it can be.
