I have had anxiety for over 11 years, will it ever go away?Are there any ways
to help this subside? I have this 24/7 even with medication.  Does anyone know what anxiety stems from?

Ok i have suffered with Anxiety for three years now and i am getting to the end of my tether, i am 23 and feel i am so young to have this i was bullied for ten years and think it stems from that. I have had Flouroxatine, Propronanol, i came off meds about 6 months ago and went for CBT Cognitive  Behavioral  Therapy and i had 8 session they seemed to help. Finished them about a month ago and it is Back, why i dont know i ended up at A+E today with a pulse rate of 135 beats per min, saw doctor who said it was just anxiety and i need to control it. Im missing so much work my social life is suffering i dont know what to do anymore.

ok thanks, It just gets to the point that I just do not want to deal with it any more
unless someone has it, they have no idea what it is like.

I also have anxiety for a very long time.  12 years to be exact.  Better times and worse times.  I do not have an answer to help you at this time.  Just to go with it and accept it and do what you need to do to get your focus off of it.  The more you feed it, the more it grows.  I have just started reading and listening to the "Linden Method".  I will report how it is going for me as I go along with the process.  I have had enough and am trying to become more proactive in my recovery.  It is a hassle everyday to be nauseous and nervous and shakey.  Just know that you are not alone in your feelings and that you can get better and deal with this...Anxiety cannot hurt you....an that is the first step in trying to conquer this "monster"...watch for my posts and I will tell how I feel the "Linden Method" is working.

you need to get a book calle hope and help for your nerves. claire weeks its a great book and it tells you where it comes from i just started reading it and its helping , i have not had anxiety all my life i just get it when something happens in my life like my moms cancer surgery i went 3 months with her and now 8 weeks with anxiety, taking klonopin and it has done so much for me got me back on my feet, am hoping to get off of it soon because i dont have anxiety unless a problem am not one to worry over health problems so i know mine will pass . read the book see if it helps i know how it is to have it all day i cant take it after 8 weeks , but its better . good luck, have a blessed day
