Let us know more about you, what brings you to 7 Cups! We are glad you are here!
Hello, my internet name is Asteria. I teach k-12 music in a Title I school. I don't remember why I wanted to teach music. I really don't like my co-workers and I feel unsupported to the nth degree. I feel like my opinions aren't valued by staff and administration. I feel my program isn't appreciated by staff and parents. I don't want to be here anymore. I have a hard time letting go of my anger and upset. I've recently been experiencing my anxiety and anger in a physical form that hurts. My doctor recommended talk therapy however I can't get in to see someone until June 7th, which doesn't help my situation.
@Asteria217 I am having the same problems as yourself. Teaching middle school english with no support lead to a series of panic attacks that made me miss work. I communicated the best I could under my condition and have medication and a therapist (who I can't meet until June 1st :/). Now my school has informed HR and wants my new job I just got for next year, to be informed of my recent performance. Essentially, medication or no, panic attacks are back.

Hello, my name is Candy, I a listener here and an intern, Im also a mum of 3 and engaged to a really lovely guy. I have had ancxiety for many years but when life gets tough it flares up in cripiling ways, it means Im often home and dont go out without my partner. Im slowly working through it and getting there step by step. We can all conquer this and get back to where we want to be!
@sunshineKitty58 *hugs* we will al conquer this 😊
I wanna write something. But reading these posts actually kinda make me feel sad. It may triggers some negative experience that I also had. *hugs for all of you*
We can go past through this together. We are in our own time zone in steps to a betterment. I'm probably on UTC-2 and so behind you on probably UTC+7, or the opposite, but I'm sure we will get to the finish line soonl *lots of love from Indonesia* ❤
Hello everyone!
My name is Christina and I've dealt social anxiety ever since I can remember.
I recently looked up my behavioural patterns online and I think I have Avoidant Personality Disorder, which is a bit more debilitating from other forms of anxiety as it is severely affecting all areas of my daily life (work, relationships, social).
I've decided to seek some form of help but I've never been through therapy and I'm scared to open up to a stranger even though I know they are licensed to do just that. I've stumbled across 7 cups of tea and it seems like a great starting place to get started and talk with other people who are dealing with similar situations.
How is everyone's experience so far? Has it helped?
Hello All
Hope everyone is having a better day :)
I used to initially experience stress and anxiety only when I was around family, outside I was a cheerful person you would not even remotely associate with such problem.
Of late, I have been irritable, anxious, nervous around people. I have my good days, which are rare. Since I work from home I have managed to isolate myself completely from people. On top of it I moved to another country where people do not speak the same language as me. The past 1.5 year has made all my issues worse. Couple of friends have heard me say- Why waste the space and oxygen that can be better utilised by someone else on this planet. I have managed to push away everyone.
That's a lot about me.This is my first time in a forum/community. Hope to find some comfort and solace in people who can relate to the issues.
Have a good weekend!

Hi! I'm Janice. I suffer from anxiety since October from last year, until now I'm on treatment. Right now I feel my chest (in the middle of my chest) so tight... I'm very scared but my blood test are very good and my doctor says I don't even have to do an electrocardiogram. I'm pretty scared right now. I can't even stand up from my bed because everytime I'm stand up it feel awful :(
@oliveVillage420 Aww I'm sorry you have to go through this but focus on the positive ! You may be in bad shape right now but you are hopefully on your way to get better
I feel that, too, a lot, and was told it meant my anxiety was acting up and that I need to calm down. IDK how it works
