You're right, anxiety doesn't go away in an instant. But you know what so beautiful about our brain is? Neuroplasticity. Our brain is able to change throughout an entire lifetime to adjust to different situations. So right now your brain has neural connections that cause these negative experiences, but you can actually train your brain to get rid of these connections by exposing yourself to scary situations (which in reality are not scary at all) over and over again. For example, now you're obsessed with holding a bottle of water anywhere you go. We both know this is BS, but your brain sees it as an tool for survival. Reduce the amount of water you're taking with you until at one point you don't need any water at all. I'm not a specialist or something, but this might be a way to train yourself just like I trained myself.
