Grammar Check For A Short Writing

Question

Hiii Teachers, allow me to write a short writing and also I'd like to ask your kindness to check the grammar right below :

My anxiety relapse! I have been facing off anxiety again since last Thursday. It happened when I was feeling down that I wasn't productive enough at my workplace. I have tried varied kind of methods, such as relaxation techniques, positive thinking and hipnotherapy. But, it just shortly cured my anxiety. Eventually, it still relapses over and over again. What should I do?
I had cried so hard a couple of times before I decided not to do it again. I knew it didn't help alot. It seems like anxiety is a part of my life. I'm fed up of this disorder. Can somebody tell me what to do ?
My symptoms are being overly negative of worrying something, feeling afraid to meet people sometimes and my heartbeat seems to be raising sometimes when meeting a bunch of people. But, as my life's motto, I'll never give up till the end. Today, I just found out some ways to deal with those situation by searching on internet, such as repeat the worry until feeling bored silly and make it worse by exaggerating it intentionally. By that, I will get used to it and feel better if the feeling comes up.

Thanks in advance.
Regards, hendy

Here are some suggestions:

My anxiety returned ~~relapse~~! I have been facing off anxiety ~~again~~ since last Thursday. It happened when I was feeling ~~down~~ (or feeling down because..) that I wasn't productive enough at my workplace. I have tried various ~~varied~~ kinds of methods, such as relaxation techniques, positive thinking and hypnotherapy. But, it just temporarily ~~shortly~~ cured my anxiety. Eventually, it I still relapse over and over again. What should I do?
I had cried so hard a couple of times before I decided not to do it (what do you mean by "it" - the therapies?) again. I knew it didn't help a lot. It seems like anxiety is a part of my life. I'm fed up with of this disorder. Can somebody tell me what to do ?
My symptoms are being overly negative and of worrying about something, feeling afraid to meet people. Sometimes ~~and~~ my heartbeat seems to rise ~~be raising sometimes~~ when meeting a bunch of people. But, as my life's motto says, I'll never give up till the end. Today, I just found out some ways to deal with the ~~those~~ situation by searching on the internet. Two ideas are: ~~such as~~ repeating the worry until you feel bored or silly and making it worse by exaggerating it intentionally. By using these techniques~~that~~, I will get used to feeling anxious it and feel better if the feeling comes back up.

Thank you for the correction. It enlightens my grammar. But, I have some questions regarding that. Would you mind helping me to explain some parts of it below :

"I have been facing off anxiety ~~again~~ since last Thursday". Could I use 'again' in the perfect progressive tense ?

"I will get used to feeling anxious it". Can I just simply use the sentence as 'I will get used to it' ?

Anyway, about this :
"I had cried so hard a couple of times before I decided not to do it (what do you mean by "it" - the therapies?) again". It refers to 'cried'.

Thanks again ~

Hendy Gunawan"I have been facing off anxiety again since last Thursday". Could I use 'again' in the perfect progressive tense ?

Yes. It seems better without it, focusing on the current struggle. It's OK to leave it in.

Hendy Gunawan"I will get used to feeling anxious it". Can I just simply use the sentence as 'I will get used to it' ?

The antecedent is not very clear. Use pronouns when the reference is obvious.

Hendy GunawanAnyway, about this :"I had cried so hard a couple of times before I decided not to do it (what do you mean by "it" - the therapies?) again". It refers to 'cried'.

Pronouns refer to previously-mentioned nouns. "Cried" is a verb. It is not a valid antecedent. Perhaps this is what you meant:

I had cried so hard so many times that I decided not to cry anymore.
