New To The Anxiety Support Community? Introduce Yourself Here!

Hi, I'm Chloe and I'm 16 years old. I've had problems with anxiety since I was around 13 years old and depression for around a year and a half. Since anxiety is my main problem I thought I'd introduce myself here. It's slowly getting worse and I just can't cope anymore, I miss like 3 school days every week due to physically not being able to go in due to panic and worry. GCSE exams start very soon and I'm so scared my anxiety will ruin any chance of getting decent grades. Any tips would be appreciated?

Hi I'm sunshinecity and I have anxiety.

hi I'm Isaac and i have always got a little anxiety but lately it got much worse cause I'm dealing with some school issues.

Hi,

I'm ending my first year of college & I think I got worse. I don't want to say I have anxiety because idk. I am fully aware that everything is in my head but I feel like I have no control over what I do/feel. It's weird. I walk around school looking down because I feel like no one would want to talk to me or everyone hates because I am a good person to hate. I feel like there's two different people in me. I feel like person one tells me everything is going to be okay. To stop over analyzing everything and to calm down because what I think is not actually what is going on. Person one is fully aware that everything is in my head. But then there is person two. Person two is the exact opposite of person one. Person two controls me physcially. In my mind person one is calming myself down. Person one is saying "Hey don't cry, it's okay. You're okay. But person two controls what I do. Person two makes me cry. Person two makes me hyperventilate, makes my mouth dry, makes me want to hide myself from the world. Person two has full control over me and I just feel so stuck. Then I think about everything that I just said and tink tha I'm just stupid and I shouldn't be feeling like this. But I feel stuck and I don't feel like myself anymore.

Hello! I deal with panic attacks and anxiety. I recently joined and love to hear how others cope😊

Hi, Im Cloud! I suffer from anxiety in general, but also suffer from social anxiety when I am in big groups.

Hi, I'm new to 7 cups and just wanted to quickly introduce myself. I've struggled with anxiety for several years, and am happy to be here and get to know some people who have been through similar situations :)

Hello, My name is Elissa. I've always had anxiety, and sometimes it comes out in stuttering as well, that can be embarassing. Its nice to meet you.

Hi, I just got into 7 cups and I'm quite excited to start knowing people and all. I've got anxiety since... Forever? Feels like that anyway. I've been struggling with my mental health quite a lot but always kept things okay. I just wanna find people who understand how I feel for once. ^^

I love art and try to work in the art industry later, drawing and writing really help everyday.
