Will I ever be free from this

I am in despair today with anxiety and hopelessness. I try hard to look after myself, meditate, have had counselling to manage it.
Yet each day I get up and especially regarding work, I have huge anxiety. I'm currently sitting in bed tired and drained , now worrying about tomorrow having only just finished today. Not only worry but heart racing, feelings of panic and a feeling that each day is such hard work and I am so alone with it.
It seems to me people think anxiety is worrying and a bit inconvenient but I feel it's a discomfort and panic that can at times rule my life. As well as that - no one can take it away and I can't manage it alone. I feel stuck with it and so fed up.

Hi, I understand how you feel. I developed anxiety after overcoming depression. Have you spoken about it with your GP? I was prescribed Propranolol which helped because I could take it as and when I needed. Other things I've tried is CBT and exercising, even if it just means going for a walk. The one thing I always tell myself is that it will pass. Stick with your meditating and breathing techniques because they do make a difference.

I understand how you feel. I'm currently having therapy which I hope will be extended, as it's really helping. I even feel anxious going to the car because the neighbour keeps coming out every time I leave the house and stares at me until I wave. I used to really like them but I'm starting to find it a bit odd and i actually rush to the car to avoid any contact. Which does not help my anxiety at all!!

I think it will pass eventually but I can't put up with it or shake it off.

Thankyou I'm feeling better today. I was really really tired which didn't help.
