I hate anxiety too, its the hardest thing to deal with. I was going through a crisis last year and had anxiety constantly, mine I believe was also to do with going off meds. I tried to use the DBT skills but they didn't fully work as I think my brain wasn't able to cope without the meds.
I was put on olanzapine over 6 months ago and despite a bit of weight gain which I don't fully attribute to that it completely changed my anxiety levels over night! I was so much more calmer.
