I personally struggle with anxiety, just know that it varies for every person. Anxiety has a tendency to manifest itself differently in all people. There are different anxiety triggers, some may not even have a specific triggers. The important thing to note that can help you, myself and others, is to become aware of it. Know what our bounds or limitations are before anxiety takes over. Exposure truly is a wonder when helping us live with anxiety. It is effective for some but not for all. For me, it is social anxiety. I feared being in any group of people. Riding the bus, groceries shopping, even walking to the mailbox can be an issue, but over time, I performed doing these acts, with success the fear of being present in a crowd was reduced. Note, not entirely gone. I still struggle with large crowds but small ones, pose no threat to me. And I know it may be odd, but that was a major improvement for me.
anxiety can be treated with medication and other coping skills. All cases with anxiety can and will be different. For some people it can go away as they get older. With others their anxiety goes away when they seek professional help. Me personally, i have gotten professional help and i still experience anxiety. So i have to learn to cope with it. There are lots of ways to cope with it and everyone can find different ways that works for them. I surround myself with a support system and try to use my daily coping skills for anxious times. Other times i use fidget toys and try breathing techniques.
