Separation Anxiety

colorfulLily4704 May 26th, 2023

I’ve been on 7 cups for a while, and I haven’t seen much discussion about separation anxiety, so I thought I would just start the conversation. This is something that I previously struggled with severely over the past few years, and I want others to feel supported and not alone. I always felt so embarrassed being a teenager and in high school while having separation anxiety disorder mainly focused on my mom. I would hide it and not tell anyone. I don’t want others to feel like this if they are struggling. I’m hoping to make this a place where people can ask questions, share their stories, and learn about Separation anxiety disorder.


Have a good day everyone!!

This is definitely an important topic. I went through this a lot as a young child then teen. I don't know exactly if there's an event or certain things that started it, but I got very anxious in school to the point of running away back home due to it. I couldn't seem to tell anyone what I was feeling. I still struggle at times with this in ways.

You are definitely not alone❤️ ❤️the more we talk about things it helps, I believe.

Thank you for sharing your story! It’s definitely something that many people experience but not many people talk about it. I’m hoping people can see these and feel less alone😊
