New To The Anxiety Support Community? Introduce Yourself Here!

Hi my name is Jenny and I've been struggling with anxiety for a long time now but I've never talked to anyone about it because it seemed useless to me. I'm a sophomore in highschooland this problem started when I was in 6th I use to be so confident I was the first and only person to always raise my hand . I didnt care what nobody thought but people were so mean to me and the only person I had was my brother at the time but he didnteven want to be seen around me he was in 8th grade but I didn't understand when we were in elementary he would always stick with me. I felt so self conscious What's wrong with me? Why can't I be pretty maybe people would talk to me. Halfway through 6th grade I was broken I didn't want to raise my hand anymore even if I knew all the answers. I didn't want to go out inpublic. I feared talking to strangers and I still do. I'm so self conscious when people are laughing I think it's about me , when people stare at me I start to panic or when people talk to me I start to panic and I want to hide. I wish I could be happy , I wish I could love myself . I wish I wasn't so afraid.

Hello, I am 17, nearly 18 and I think I suffer from anxiety. My last year of secondary school was awful! I was always having panic attacks if I wasn't understanding classes. I would cry at thinks that wouldn't normally annoy me but made me panic and cry then. It got to a point when I wasn't enjoying being in school so I would always skip classes. I spoke to my guidance teacher one day and broke down in tears helpless as I didn't understand what was wrong? I had a boyfriend I was popular and I had a part time job. So she rendered me to a counsellor and I only met her a few times as it was just before summer! And I left school in the summer. She helped me a bit and I realised that I was afraid of being alone and my boyfriend wasn't very nice to me which made me more anxious. I found myself becoming happy when me and my boyfriend broke up and I found someone else who has always been there for me! He is now my boyfriend of 8 months and I very happy... But all of a sudden this past week every time he leaves to go home I can't help but cry and start to have a panic attack. Why is this suddenly happening to meagain?

I suffer From anxiety and panic disorder I need help

Hey, my name's Quinn and I suffer from social anxiety. I hate talking to strangers, I always shop online cause I can't deal with cashiers and other staff people. Even If i know the answer to a question in class I never raise my hand in fear that I'm wrong, and if it turns out my answer was right I beat myself up for being to scared to answer. I havescoliosis because I always hunch over to make myself small and invisible. I don't go to parties and always stay in my room in fear or being judged and made fun of. I feel like I'm missing out on life, but I'm to scared to go out and try to live it.

I struggle with social situations and have panic attacks reguarly

Hello there in hOpiNg iCame to the right Place. I'm suffEringfrom anxiety And panic disorder

Hi, ive been dealing with anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias more many years. I had several traumatic incidences that happened to me in my life that I feel contributed to the matter greatly. Talking to others, such as I do here, as helped a lot. Calming exercises such as reading, writing, walking, talking etc. help a lot too. I am greatful for 7 cups for being able to have a place to go to whenever I feel the need. Thank you All.
