It has been a struggle lately. A lot of anxiety. And I have spend so many years trying to do all the “right things” to curb my anxiety; eating right, exercising regularly, journaling, meditation, yoga, therapy &amp; forcing myself to tackle everything that makes me scared. 

I thought if I could do all of that then I would be able to overcome this stupid part of my brain that makes everything a crisis situation. It’s to exhausting to spend half of my energy at any given moment walking myself back from the edge. If half of my energy is always trying to manage anxiety it means I get tired of doing all the things I want to do twice as fast. I never have the energy to have fun. It’s takes so much effort just to be baseline functional. And recently that hasn’t even been enough. Things could definitely get worse. But would they ever get any better?

Was i stupid to think that I could overcome this at all? Is this going to be a problem for the rest of my life? Has anyone ever been cured of anxiety? Im just trying to set some realistic expectations for myself.
