Pain is not only subjective, it's relative. although it may not be real to you, it is - to the person telling you about it.

...See more Thank you to the people I've crossed path on here and irl for showing me ways I could be loved - holding space for my vulnerability without judgement and with so much wisdom... (allowing me to slowly chip away the pain each time I feel the rage of betrayals) etc... so thank you.  My embittered self 5 years ago would come onto 7cups, venting about how hurt and betrayed I felt having ended a relationship and thought I would never be whole again like can you believe it?! How much power I'd given to my exes for my wellbeing?! Silly! and honestly very unhealthy. I've since reclaimed that power and it feels good dissolving the years of cynicism and pessimism.  I'm a whole new loving person all thanks to the strangers who have guided me throughout the years.  Embarrassed it took me years to become who I am today, but here I am - a person I never thought id be.

...See more Over a year ago, i shared my depression and anxiety recovery journey in one of my threads… it’s like a breath of fresh air from me - full of hope and gratitude. It scares me now to be filled with anxiety and intense sadness that might indicate a relapse… I tried bawling my eyes out earlier, and then reminded myself who i am outside of these waves of sadness i fear i let take control of me. I was energetic, happy i got a second chance at life - happy learning, being in new environment (outside of my comfort zone). I’m afraid of losing her. I was appalled this trigger had ripped open old wounds… im at a loss now, but i know i’ll figure out somehow throughout the day… maybe weeks, maybe months… For now, i let this fear paralysed me
Study stress, various anxieties and coping mechanism log

...See more Hello, I get extremely anxious about my studies and the anxiety I have is extremely debilitating for me. I'll use this log to keep track of my meltdowns and coping mechanism (good and bad) I resort to, in order to remind myself that tough (imo) times will pass and that I can do it. I do feel ashamed, ultimately uncomfortable that I still couldnt cope with my studies, and have troubles confiding in people since the responses I usually get is "come on, it's just studies/groupwork/exams, grow up and get over them." This sememster posed another challenge for me because i took an elective that deviates far from my major so I don't know how i'll perform, and that uncertainty eats me up when I think about it before sleep, during lectures and group discussion... I believe I could take things in small stride, and build momentum but i cant convince myself enough that i'll pull off this sememster. I'll see how it goes...

...See more Hi, I've always had this anxiety towards college exams, it seems redundant but it is debilitating for me. I'm revising and preparing for the upcoming exams to my best as ability, and I'm afraid I'm going to stand in my own way. I keep consistently reminding myself that panic won't help... Cant help spiralling at this moment...
