Is anxiety ever going to go away? I eat right, take vitamins and supplements. I do yoga, meditate and walk once in a while. What am I missing?

      I am genetically very close to my brother, he is strict on diet also, but runs or rides his bike for miles every day. I am his opposite and on meds..

        @juliecarlstan good for him! I wish I could run and bike for miles. I couldn't take meds I know it's not good for me.

      the part that I hate the most is when I get it my mind thinks it's never going away at that moment. And I know I need to remind myself that "it too shall pass"

      In my opinion what's missing is medication. I was so scared to take medication for over a decade and waiting was the stupidest thing I've done. I could've had relief so much sooner. I'm prescribed Buspar and it's been a complete life changer. I remember wondering if the "normal" feeling I felt after starting it was what actual normal felt like. The answer is yes. It gave me my life back and I'll be forever grateful for it. I highly recommend you give it, or maybe another medication, a try!

        @Jangadai I don't want medication because it's harmful. Also there will be side effects in the long run. It's a bandaid. I rather take natural supplements.

        @Jangadai I agree!! I felt like I didn't need it, I wasn't that person. I've been on Lexapro for over a year, and the change I've seen in myself has been great. Anxiety is always there, and I've been trying with therapy to tackle the little things.

      Wow! Exactly! I’ve been wondering the same thing 8 years now 😞

        @Hummingbird omg 8 years I am so sorry. Sometimes I think maybe I should do Ayahuasca.

      Anxiety never goes away but the way you can control it always changes. So depending on your mental state and what season of life you're in, you're anxiety will change with it too.

        @Schpamp it sucks I hate it. Sometimes it is not as bad. But when it is I just want to go away from where I am at I feel like I'm going crazy.
