I can't enjoy life, can't enjoy music, TV, school, sports, anything. I can't enjoy anyone's company, just anything. What's the point of living anymore? Why not just die and not feel anything? I can't eat properly I can't sleep properly I can't concentrate on anything without this constant irrational fear hovering above my head, it's exhausting.
Some people say there is a cure to anxiety , some people say there's no cure but just treatment. I don't know what to believe?

I've had days where I felt this way within the past week.

You're probably feeling this way because you feel like your anxiety controls everything and that you're not strong enough to deal with it. Whenever I feel hopeless like that, I get really, really depressed and don't like being alive anymore because I get pleasure from nothing.

I exercise a lot when I get this way or clean. Basically, I do physical activities rather than mental because there's no use trying to distract my mind. Exercising and getting sun can also help you cope with your anxiety. It won't take all of it away, but it's made it bareable for me a ton of times. I go on really long walks, too. Like hour long. I just keep walking and walking and walking until it gets at least a little better.

It sounds like you are experiencing a bout of anhedonia, which I know is incredibly frustrating and demotivating. Since you started to experience the anxiety two months ago, have you sought any help or support? When you are experiencing anxiety adrenaline is flowing throughout your body and it is this combined with the lack of proper sleep that is making you feel so tired.

With regards to why not just die and not feel anything? I have felt this way before and it started round about your age maybe earlier. But to put things into perspective...... we only get one shot at life and we will never be here again. So my attitude is now to do everything I can to achieve what I want in life, sure I have this problem that is anxiety but I will not allow it to dictate my life and define who I am/or who I will become. I may not achieve everything I want, but when I look back on my life I will know that I gave it 100%. I can accept failing after all we are human and we make mistakes, but i can not accept not trying.

Sure some people say that they no longer experience anxiety but some people will always experience anxiety. However you can develop methods and techniques to stop anxiety from having a firm grip on your life. I myself can feel myself becoming more resilient and the anxiety is having less of an impact, you just need to keep learning about yourself and what helps you etc.
