I think it is possible if you can cope with your triggers but medication makes it easier 100%

Yes of course you can. For some it may help but most it makes them worse due to the side effects. Have you tried CBT? or seeing a psychologist? Mindfulness? Meditation? Exercise? There are so many things you can do without medicating. It's definitely possible.

Yes it’s possible!! You just have to do what’s right for you such as meditation, yoga and therapy is super helpful, don’t listen to the people who say no you can’t live with anxiety without medication, it’s because they haven’t had success with it. I’ve been on medication for 7 months now and it’s seems to be helping me but everyone’s different. I don’t know what I would do without meds but I think it’s possible overcoming anxiety with help
