I have been anxious for as long as I can remember. I keep thinking it’ll get over but it doesn’t. I don’t think I have had even a single day of genuine happiness. I sometimes have months of no anxiety but they are still months that are filled with emptiness and a general feeling of sadness. Even if I go out or do things I love that make me happy, there’s always at least 30-40% pain in the back of my mind. At all situations. 

Has anyone ever gotten over their anxiety and actually achieved happiness? Like proper complete happiness where you’re out with friends and your head and heart are completely happy without even a drop of it being sad. I feel so alone and helpless.
