Can you see how your unsafe and chaotic living environment led to you developing anxiety? I think that in order to recover from anxiety that you have to understand what caused it. Whenever you are anxious, thinking about what caused it and then telling yourself that this was the past and that you are safe now. Do you do any relaxation exercises? I think that you can rewire your nervous system to be calm.
