Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Please do understand that you cannot get tid of anxiety completely because that is body's mechanism to defend fear. Because it is a defence mechanism, it is not harmful. If you try hard to remove your anxiety, it will proopel back more vociferously. You need to undergo Cognitive Behavioral Therapy sessions and a psychologist is the right person to provide. Consult a psychologist.

If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Please remember to describe the whole problem with full detail.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
