Anxiety is a feeling of unease, such as worry or fear, that can be mild or severe. It’s normal to feel anxious from time to time, but how long does anxiety last and how do you know when it becomes too much.
Does anxiety go away on its own?
No, usually anxiety does not go away on its own. There is what is called “normal anxiety” which is a healthy level of protection your mind creates in order to help you avoid harmful situations.
How do I know if my anxiety is getting too bad?
When it takes over your life or makes you come across as “angry” when it may just be a panic attack that makes you feel out of control and needs a breather.
Can anxiety last for weeks?
Yes, anxiety can last for weeks. In some cases, it may become a chronic condition that is ongoing and lasts for months or even years on end which makes coping extremely challenging.
So how long does anxiety last?
Unfortunately, there’s no exact answer because every person with symptoms of anxiety are different from one another so how long your symptoms will persist depend mostly on how severe they are and how well you respond to forms of therapy such as CBT.
Is there a cure for my anxiety?
There’s no magic pill that can completely get rid of how long your symptoms will last but medication (or supplementation) and CBT usually go hand in hand to help relieve the effects so you feel better more quickly than if treatment wasn’t used at all.
