exposure

aka facing it, dealing with it. i.e. whatever it is that is causing anxiety

avoidance, avoiding the thing that causes anxiety, exacerbates it

Unfortunately there is no easy solution. I would suggest starting with a list of all of the things that are bothering you. Then start organizing them i.e. problems within your control, problems outside your control, existential problems no one can do anything about, etc.

Then rank order the problems you can do something about yourself. Whether you want to start at the top with the hardest, or the bottom with the easiest, it doesn't matter. Pick randomly. Break that problem down, create a plan to help alleviate it.

You might also benefit from giving up a bad habit or two that is destructive in your life. Something you do to avoid your other problems, which feels good at the time, but ultimately makes you feel worse afterwards.

Lack of sleep can make you more anxious. I’ve had insomnia for about 7 years. If I don’t do what I need to do to get adequate sleep, I’m a psychopath lol

Age? Look i was too much in my head at times when i was younger, which caused a lot of anxiety sometimes even now but it doesn't last long. Started working really early and like many others said you need to expose yourself. Work place is probably the best thing since you need to work and communicate with coworkers and that is essential. Anything else could be temporary exposure, but not daily one like work. Anxiety happens when you have too much time on your hands and start overthinking instead of just doing the thing. Oh yeah, the lack of sleep. This one is one of the main reasons why my anxiety can even raise up now. Having some kind of routine when you go to sleep and wake up will help definitely

Bro nothing gets done without effort. If you panic and freak out when you face your problem, then you probably don't understand your problem. You can't tackle some things all at once, it's a process that takes days or weeks or even years. Break it down, comes to terms with it, and start making smart moves.

Often, the returns we all seek are delayed, but they will come. Put in your work, be patient, and don't quit.

well if that's true, then idk what to tell you. but i dont quite believe you

also, fwiw, i believe it's generally thought when people don't know what the source is it's usually social anxiety

general anxiety is prob what.. a low self esteem mixed with a bit of anxiety? so kinda like a depressive viewpoint developed from not dealing with it and overcoming it and then "fighting it" and it becomes a general malaise

general is still fixable with setting up your life to how you want it. grabbing life by the balls and constructing what you want

maybe if it's sleep for you try alllll the things you can as hard as you can to ensure you get 6 to 8 hours (find which one is better)

stress is a common thing. You will always have it as you progress in life so dont let this discourage you. If this happens while you work than take some sick time or off time and let it down a little. Just dont go for too much alcohol or drugs. Now jobs, what do you mean about finding them but no luck? What kind of job do you want to work? What kind of work did you do until now and how was it for your mental health?

If you've got anxiety, it means you want something, not materialistic, something worth having, and for whatever you don't have it. The only way to fix that, is to go out and get it.
