I'd like to reassure: And, probability is on my side. You are not likely to develop a terminal illness 'because' you get over an anxiety disorder. In fact, you will significantly lengthen your life and improve its quality. People can get into an idea that for a good, there's a bad. It's just a superstition. You'll not pay a price. Do recover. Talk to a cbt / ret therapist. They can help a lot. Be comforted. Really.
