There *can be* an end to it. I use to suffer from debilitating anxiety/panic/depression, and haven't had a major episode in years. I still get an occasional weird symptom that I can trace to anxiety, but now that I've learned that my brain can make my body do crazy things, I've accepted it, and no longer worry about it. If I get a weird symptom, I shrug it off as anxiety, realize I must be stressed about something, and then attempt to figure out what's causing it, and fix it, or realize worrying won't do me any good. I highly recommend listening to the audio files that Dr. Claire Weeks made. It helped me more than anything else. In a nutshell, she talks about what your body is doing during a panic attack (overreacting and causing excess fight or flight chemicals or something) and because your body can't use them properly (because you don't have to fight and you don't have to flee), they make you feel other crazy things. Once you understand that, it makes the worry cycle end (no more "Why do I feel this way?!?"). Prayers to all of you dealing with this horrible horrible thing called anxiety!
