    I've been dealing with anxiety for a while now and let me tell you now that its not something you can just cure. The sooner you accept that it isnt going to go away anytime soon the easier it will be to handle. A lot of what you can do is learn to relax. When you feel anxious you have to not let it bother you, and then work on calming yourself down. This can be achieved by paying attention towards taking slow and deep breaths. Also be aware of any muscles you are holding tightly. To beat anxiety in the long run though you need to do more than this. Meditation or yoga are both ideal for learning to become a happier, more relaxed person on the whole. There are thousands of symptoms that can be caused by anxiety, so if you feel unwell or different in anyway then just don't let it bother you because anxiety will feed of this fear. I think having an anxious phase in your life is extremely common, and I dont think enough people are willing to talk about it. Be aware that you are in no way at all alone in dealing with this. It will pass on its own eventually, but not until you are comfortable with it. I wish you the best of luck. I am sure you will be fine.
