Thanks for sharing. I'm in the similar boat. Almost suffered severe anxiety for 10 years now. Part of it is the cost of being a high achiever. I've tried everything, all tablets out there. I did all the scan for brain chemical stuff. Everything scientific means you could think of. Today I just came back from seeing my psychiatrist, we don't want to go down to the chemical path again. If you want to get into the essence, here's what I found useful: 1) Accept it - it's OK, you're not alone. It's pretty messed up I know; 2) Do more exercise​ to find an outlet for the nerve and excess energy, 3) Practice breathing and mindfulness, know what you are "worrying​" and detach yourself from - "Anxiety, I'm telling you now, you have no power over me", 4) Don't think too much - Don't try to intellectualise it what's lurking. It's all in the head and sorry about the cliche: mind over matters. Best of luck!
