I thought this was possibly about getting off medication. Most of the medications related to mental health have uncomfortable side effects, among which nausea is a frequent one. So, she's always been cautious about having the medication when she's meant to but simply can't deal with the side effects any more. However, people who aren't on such medication don't really understand how bad it can be, doctors included. So she's saying she's not choosing to lose the war but can't keep fighting it.
Then the chorus, with its different pacing is about getting advice I thought. Maybe she knows someone who had similar symptoms but managed to control it without medication.
I was puzzled about the words "It's yours to take back"; because if someone has taken away her anxiety then why would they need to take it back if they already have it? But then I thought, maybe the previous line "You've got away with my anxiety" is actually "You've got a way with my anxiety". (Notice "a way" rather than "away".) So it's like the entire chorus is about someone taking her away, maybe on a mini holiday to help her de-stress, and she's basically offering to do the same for them if they ever need it.
