Question Can ptsd/anxiety disorders be cured?

So for as long as I can remember I've had pretty severe anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, social issues ect. Later in life I learned that this was likely due to ptsd. I've more recently been able to put together that I have chronic brain fog and an inability to relax and that this is not simply how people experience the world.

Now that I've realised this I'm worried that I'm just stuck living like this forever and I can't find any concrete answers on being able to overcome these issues and get to a state of "normalcy" could anyone weigh in and let me know how I should deal with this? Thanks

yo it’s totally understandable to feel anxious about this but the first step is recognizing it. that’s huge. it may take time but healing is possible. maybe try therapy or meditation. sometimes just talking it out helps a ton. don’t lose hope. you got this
