Does it ever end????

My panic attacks started after gallbladder removal and then I tested positive for HP.
I went through the antibiotic treatment (quad 14 days) and 6 weeks later tested negative..
But, the anxiety didn’t leave. I am now 3 months post antibiotics and struggling so much. I’m scared to go to sleep, because I know I’m going to awake in a panic. I don’t sleep well at night and I’m too afraid to nap during the day because I know it will bring on anxiety.
I thought I was doing a bit better, but the last few days have been horrible.
I have begun to gain weight back, as I had lost an incredible amount of weight and can now eat food I couldn’t eat for over a year. My stomach is getting better, still an absolute mess, but somewhat better.
But, the anxiety refuses to budge.
Does it ever get better? Or am I one of the unlucky ones that never get over the anxiety stuff? I’m not a good candidate for SSRI’s, so that’s not an option. Please don’t suggest them.
