Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Anxiety disorders are a category of mental disorders characterized by feelings of anxiety and fear, where anxiety is a worry about future events and fear is a reaction to current events. When a person fears about something now (which may or may not happen in the future) and if he do it repeatedly, it is called anxiety disorder. These fear provoking feelings are called anxiety and it may cause variety of physical symptoms, such as a racing heart, restlessness, helplessness and shakiness. There are a number of anxiety disorders: including generalized anxiety disorder, a specific phobia, social anxiety disorder, separation anxiety disorder, agoraphobia, and panic disorder among others. While each has its own characteristics and symptoms, they all include symptoms of anxiety.

From the given information it seems that you are troubled by generalized anxiety disorder. General Anxiety disorder treatment consists of anti-anxiety medicines, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, life style changes and meditation. Once you learn how to manage your anxiety yourself with the help of the above treatment methods, slowly the anti anxiety medicines can be tapered and withdrawn. The process is a bit lengthy and could take any period between one year to 2 years according to the depth of the anxiety problem and the circumstances at which the patient lives. Keep the period of treatment in mind, prepare yourself to take up the treatment and consult a psychologist.
