Or at least learn how to deal with this emotionally and physically ❤❤ #learninghowtoloveyourself
@Naughtypickles You will be fine. Anxiety is something that can be managed :)
@eskie Hello hun,
I just wanted to let you know you've come to the right community and app/website for support! You can get through this, as others on here (including myself) have!
Hi, I'm Cheryl, I'm a 31yo mum of 2 young girls, and I live in Australia. I'm new to 7 Cups, I only heard of it tonight for the first time. I have suffered from anxiety and depression for as long as I can remember. I've been on medication for 8 years now, but I still have ups and downs.
Tonight I'm not doing so great. I feel incredibly anxious to the point my heart is racing and I feel nauseous, but I'm struggling to pinpoint what exactly has set me off. It's a vicious cycle, because now I feel anxious about not knowing why I feel anxious! Aaargh!
@SassyChez Hello, Cheryl! Welcome to 7 cups! We're glad to have you here. You can find support through group chats & listeners as well as forums like this one. I know how it feels to have ups & downs, despite taking medication! :/ I know this is easier said than done, but try not to get too worked up about the unknown reason for being anxious. My advice to you is distractions that are positive. Good luck on your journey here! :)
hi. we're dirt. that's our name. we use plural pronouns. sorry if that's confusing.
our ocd is really acting up on his now. we can't tell anyone at all about our obsessions because we're so afraid that we'll be committed or something else. we're desperate to talk to someone, but we're moving. we're moving into a new place (anxiety-inducing) without almost any money (anxiety-inducing) and we're working a job that, ultimately, exhausts us far more than the average person (anxiety-induxing).
@edirt Hi there! That sounds like a lot to go through by one's self. I hope you can find the support you need here at 7 Cups! Don't hesitate to reach out and message a listener. :)

Hello, I am Mariah. I'm 20 years old and I have been suffering with anxiety my entire life, I do believe. Sometimes I do get random terrible spouts of being afraid of something bad happening, believing that its doomed to be horrible. I want to join because I would love some support in trying to handle this day by day.
@lovingTortoise3336 Hi Mariah, İ think we're experiencing the same thing - the random and unnecessary sprout of paranoia or worrying. Most of the time İ can't prevent myself from predicting that my future will not be good for me because of a certain action that İ did or didn't do. İ'm always thinking that something negative will happen or someone will do bad thing to me or to my loved ones even though there's so much less probability that they will actually happen. But surprisingly, İ am not losing sleep because of those things going on my mind. İ hope you're not losing sleep too or feeling restless because of paranoia.
I suffer from really bad panic attacks and obsessive worrying and i just i i dont know it is really freaking me out because i cant control the attacks or the way i am feeling daily.
@JoyIntoDarkness Hi Joy have you tried scheduling a specific time of the day that is only for worrying time? İ feel the same way too and İ tried this method yesterday and İ feel a little bit in control of my mind now.
@hardworkingPlane5717
i dont have any time i worry while doing work etc and i just yeah idk but i will try. sounds like a good idea. thankyou
Hi everyone, İ am currently taking steps to control my paranoia. What you guys have tried so far? Currently İ am trying to designate a time of my day for worrying about non-sense things, yes İ know that they are non-sense so İ must stop them from taking over my mind especially during work. But there are still things İ consider realistic even though some of my friends think they're non-sense too and those realistic-for-me thoughts are bothering me from focusing on tasks :(
Hey there, new to this thread, but a long time sufferer of anxiety. I think it's actually gotten worse with age; mostly social anxiety. I find onlin interactions easiest.
@Kikyo55 I am like that too. I get very anxious in social situations
@Kikyo55 , PM , will try help you.
@Kikyo55 Me to!! I understand what you mean. It's not easy talking to people or even starting conversations. I was having a hard time leaving my house except for work. I see a counselor. It's been helping me. I hope you can get help to.
Hi everyone. I have health anxiety. Any minor symptom and I'm convinced it's something unbelievably serious.
And it hurts. Something always hurts.
