I've had problems with anxiety most of my life, and at 14 I started with panic attacks and I saw a psycologist for 2 and a bit years and I thought I was cured after that. But although the panic attacks had gone, I still had some problems with anxiety and my panic attacks came back when I was 19 while I was in a stressful job.
I am having therapy at the moment and I felt like this time is different. Especially as this time I've been completely open about the bad things that have happened to me, which I think may have something to do with my anxiety problems. Also because I have someone who comes to take me out and I'm on their books to see a psycologist for help and councelling for things which happened in the past.
So I am hopeful that at the end of the councelling and everything, that I'll be better and calm, and I want to be laid back and not be a worrier.
But what has confused me is that some people agree and say I will be calmer and I'll be completely better. Not an anxious person anymore. But I've also been told by different people, some have been therapists, that I'll always be an anxious person and a worrier and that I'll learn to cope with it.
I suppose it's hard to know which it'll be, but I just wondered if there is a chance I won't be an anxious person anymore. I've been anxious for so much of my life, and I was really hoping that once I've had help I could be calm and relaxed and not be like that anymore.
Thank you for reading,
