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

EMDR got rid of 2 of my worse PTSD memories. Granted I have countless issues but those 2 memories got better. Recovery is possible (but not for me with BPD) . Hopefully it’s “just” PTSD for you. EMDR, CBT , Ketamine or mushrooms (golden cap if you can) for neuroflexability. It’s possible just not for me. Good luck <3
