Medication calmed things down to where I could deal with it. Therapy got the rest.  

 Same. Medication and therapy. Avoid self medication with alcohol or cannabis also, just a warning. It feels like those things help in the short term but in the long term your anxiety gets worse.  

 I used medication to help break the cycle and then I was off the meds way sooner than I thought I would, less than a year. You don’t have to approach meds thinking that you will be on them forever!
