...See more Hey! So I've tried browsing listeners and searching and it's all still really confusing. I've messaged a few people and never heard back, so I don't think I'm doing it right. I joined 7 cups because I have a really hard time talking about things, I am a HUGE emotional avoider. I'm in therapy but there are still some things I still just can't make myself talk about. I thought this might be a baby step towards talking, I don't have to see anyone here in person or know in real life, I thought that might make it easier for me to be more open and honest. I was diagnosed with PTSD when I was 16 and have struggled with severe anxiety and depression. I've never addressed it and I've created a pretty crappy situation for myself and everyone around me over the years. I'd prefer to talk to someone around my age or older, I'm 33 and female, gender doesn't matter. Thanks!

...See more So a few days ago I posted here asking for help. It was a really bad day and I ended up deactivating my account. A few people commented and offered to talk but now I cant find the post. So heres my deal, I am a huge avoider of anything that makes me uncomfortable or anxious, which is pretty much everything. I struggle with severe anxiety and depression, I have since I was young. About a year ago my boyfriend gave me an ultimatum and told me I needed to get professional help. I did, but a year later there are some things I still just cant make myself talk about. Sunday was kind of a rock bottom day after several days of just spiraling out of control. I decided at some point in the middle of Sunday night that I cant continue living like this and neither can my family. I thought I could maybe practice somewhere like here, with someone I dont know or have to talk to in person, and see if that will help me be able to talk about things with my therapist and eventually my boyfriend. Im 33, Id prefer to talk with someone near my age group or older. I just dont know how the whole listener thing works. I just need help. Thanks!

...See more Hi, I'm new on here. I have struggled with anxiety and depression since I was 16. I've been in and out of therapy since then including two stays in residential treatment centers. I've always had horrible anxiety over talking about feelings and emotions and certain parts of my past. I avoid uncomfortable feelings like the plague! I've developed super unhealthy coping skills over the years, I drink a lot and I cut. Though I know they're unhealthy habbits they've kinda worked for me until the last four years or so. I was in a car accident in November 2013 and suffered a TBI, after that I've just kind of unraveled to the point where I'm at now. I like to tell myself I managed life before that but if I'm being honest I think I was still kind of a shit show. I have a boyfriend of almost 13 years and we have two kids. About a year ago he gave me an ultimatum and told me I needed to get professional help. I started seeing a therapist but I'm still not able to really talk about things. I've made some progress but not enough. And being in therapy has dug up a lot of shit, and I don't talk about it so it just sits in my head and I think about it all the time. When I'm with my therapist or my boyfriend and things come up the words I should say pop into my head but I feel like it's physically impossible to make them come out of my mouth. I can't even write them down or say them when I'm alone. I obsess over these thoughts and end up using one of my unealthy coping skills and go to bed. I don't know how to overcome this but I'm in a really bad place and I know I need to start talking. I thought maybe it would be easier in a place like this where I don't have to talk with anyone face to face or know anyone in real life. I don't know. But I need help.
