Lessen my anger/fears for a long time

Hi

Could you please tell me how you would find these sentences in spoken English?

Nothing could lessen my anger/fears/concerns for a long time.

Nothing could allay my anger/fears/concerns for a long time.

Thanks,

Tom

In spoken English, I would use simpler language. " Words like "allay" or "assuaged," while correct, are more formal and better suited to a written statement.
