First, get over the idea that it "stays forever". yes you are prone to anxiety and will remain this way throughout your life. However, symptoms are TREATABLE. 95% of anxiety sufferers can get treatment and lead a normal life.

Let me tell you about my own history. I was a normal guy. A few bouts of anxiety throughout my life but nothing resembling a disorder. One day I detected a man trying to break into my apartment. This triggered a burst of anxiety. Symptoms soon followed, including light headedness, trembling, chills, joint pains, chest thumping.

Then I started to worry over these physical symptoms and things went from bad to worse in a hurry. Now my symptoms also became mental as well as physical. I had multiple panic attacks every day. It was difficult to know when one panic attack ended and one began. My head felt like it was on fire. It felt like I was going chave razy and totally losing control of my body. My scariest incident happened when I "flipped out" and thought I was murdering a young girl by grabbing her as I committed suicide.

So when you say your symptoms are bad, understand that people with worse symptoms than you have made a full recovery or at least a HUGE improvement. I am not 100% yet, but I stopped having panic attacks and I am mostly recovered. I get the once in a while bad day or setback but I am mostly ok.

Your recovery plan is not ideal. You must AVOID alcohol, caffeine and sweets for at least 30 days. You should exercise but not strenuously and never while in the midst of a panic attack. Hang out with friends but don't communicate with strangers. Do research on CBT - psychotherapy to improve. It mostly involves accepting your condition. You can also research supplements that should help.

I wouldn't rely on medications to recover. Medications can help but there are also side effects plus they can lose their effectiveness over time.
