And if you truly believe you will never not be that way, you truly never will not be that way. Self-fulfilling prophecies sure are a bitch.

At some point you have to accept things are the way they are, and no asshole on the internet is going to magically do what decades of psychotherapy could not.

DA

Just because I accept the fact that I will always have anxiety doesn't mean I'm giving up or anything. Acceptance is not the same as some "self-fulfilling prophecy" bullshit.

I'm someone with an anxiety disorder who's managed (after a lot of difficulty) to have a fairly successful life. Most of the skills I've learned don't have to do with overcoming anxiety - they have to do with working around it. The more I can avoid situations that I know will make me anxious, or find ways to lessen the anxiety they will cause me, the more mental energy I have to deal with the anxiety-provoking things that I must do.

I will never not have anxiety. But that doesn't need to stop me from living my life. Sometimes I need help from other people. Occasionally I freak out and can't deal with anything for a little while. But that's okay, and accepting that this is how I am helps me more quickly recover from those times when I do freak out.

I spent years trying to force myself to just do things, to just get over it. It was only once I stopped trying to completely overcome my anxiety and accepted that it's something I have to live with that I was finally able to start leading a stable life.

Just out of curiosity are you one of those people who says the same thing about clinical depression?
