I don’t know that it will ever go away, once you’ve gotten a certain high dose of it…at least not in this lifetime.
Ive been fucking disturbed by it all for over 25 years now.
I think you’ve got to pay attention the part of your mind that can simply observe it without reacting to it, and develop from there.
Eventually, they say you’ll see that all of it was never you to begin with, and the whole time you were just reacting the way you did to everything because of your ignorant delusions.
Well it depends, in most cases anxiety is triggered, fear of what may happen to you in the future and being unprepared for it.
Whenever I’ve had crises in my life which resulted in a lot of anxiety at the time, I found the only way to get over it was to resolve those issues I had to face.
I know I couldn’t get away from my problems so I just worked through them and I’ve always been able to get through them. I guess it made me stronger and more prepared and therefore less anxious when I had new issues to deal with.
Now if your anxiety isn’t caused by issues in your life, then it’d probably require professional help and possibly medication. That’s something you’d need to determine.
I have social anxiety. Why do I have it? I am afraid of screwing up socially. Why am I afraid of that? Because in my experience, my social skills are inadequate. I have many memories of failing to make conversation at parties and people getting up and leaving. How have I reacted to my anxiety? By giving up on parties, etc. What is the cost of that? Social isolation, chronic singledom, etc. What would be the solution? Improving my social skills. How do I do that? Practise. Where do I get the practise? By going out and socializing, despite the anxiety. Easier said than done, obviously.
I started taking anxiety medication a year ago. The doctor prescribed me with an SSRI, mainly used to treat depression and anxiety.
It isn’t a miracle pill, but I don’t get constant thoughts running through my head all the time. And I feel like I can see things without freaking out about a million possibilities.
Please conaider talking to a doctor. If you can’t afford it, there are mental health services based on income and such.
Anxiety becomes serious if it takes over your life.

I use a pill called Anxiar but it may not be the best solution.

Happy trails.
