This is a question I get asked very often. The answer is definite yes. I have lost count of the number of people who have gone on to fully recover; all it takes is a little patience and a proper understanding. I was one of those people who went through anxiety attacks for so long that I thought I would just have to live with it. I had tried so many treatments and began to give up all hope. Luckily I persevered and decided to go away and find as much information as I could. For once I stopped throwing money at all these miracle cures and decided to educate myself as much as possible on the subject. I was tired of being pushed from one doctor to another. I no longer wanted another prescription to try and make my anxiety just go away, I just wanted proper answers. What I found was someone who was very knowledgeable on the subject and was able to not only help me, but also point me in the right direction with my own studies. I was then able to lead myself back to recovery the right way. The one thing I did learn was that the best knowledge comes from going through it and coming out the other side, the only people I have ever respected on the subject all went through it and came out the other side, there is no other better education.

Yes. Nothing is forever. Nothing. Anxiety is not that difficult to conquer either, but it will be a challenge depending on the person and you have to make a conscious effort to conquer it, much like exercising to maintain good health. There is a wonderful guide here at 7 Cups for overcoming anxiety, as well as several resources online. It may feel like there is no hope and that you cannot overcome it at many times, that's what anxiety does to you. But you do have the power! Believe in that, always keep it in mind. I know that you can do this, because I could do this as well. You can check out @sensiblegrapefruit 's post here: https://www.7cups.com/forum/AnxietySupportCommunity_53/WelcomeIntroduceYourselfToTheAnxietySupportGroupIcebreakers_215/Mysecretindefeatinganxiety_15476/ Hope that encourages you as well!

I am speaking from personal experience, and yes mine went away. When you're going through hard times in life is when anxiety peaks. I took the right medications and found other ways to distract my attention and I have been fine ever since

Speaking as someone with generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder, it might not. Not completely, but I once battled such debilitating anxiety that I would sleep with the lights on and dread leaving bed. I would get physically ill over the constant irrational fears, my anxiety controlled my life. It no longer has such an impact. It doesn't control my life anymore, it's just a part of it, like bills and red lights, an in convince that I've learned to live with. Your anxiety may never completely go away, but it can be managed to a place where you feel nothing but pride for overcoming it.

I don't think it will ever go away permanently, but it can definitely be treated and prevented from being a serious issue. A way to treat anxiety could be to practice breathing techniques.

It can go away. You may be a little more sensitive than others about certain subjects, but from what I learned, you can learn to deal with that and it won't be a problem anymore! I struggled with anxiety for a long time and even though I still have some problems when something very stressful, I know how to make sure I don't get fazed by it. Every person is different but you'll eventually learn your personal way to deal with your anxiety (:

If you take the time to take actions necessary for you to receive calm and peace and realize that it is normal to feel this at times, you will likely learn to cope with anxiety, if not overcome it entirely.

Your mind is dynamic, and your mental state is too. Even if the situation does not change that much, your dealing with the situation should change as you grow and learn from your experiences, thus reducing your anxiety.

Normally such a state of mind is not a mindset, so it will solely depend on how you deal with it, but usually life events transitions will eventually help you change your state of mind. I hope your life gets better ASAP

Okay this is the brutal truth. Anxiety doesn't really ever fully go away. Once you have anxiety about something, you're kind of stuck with it. Like when I was 5th grade I had a very bad anxiety about school. I'm still scared of school, but not as bad. It can get better if you get help, but you can't really get rid of it. Don't give up though! Anxiety can't kill you, and it's been proven that only people who over think things and are smart have anxiety. So you're really smart, and you can find a way through this!!!! I hope I helped you :)
