New To The Anxiety Support Community? Introduce Yourself Here!

Hi everyone. I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Robin and I'm 46 years old. I'm a professor at a university. I've never really thought I had anxiety until this past year with a bunch of things with work and my marriage all smacking me at once. I have dealth with depression in the past - although I guess they do sort of go hand in hand in many cases.

Anyway, nice to meet you all.

Hi! Been dealing with anxiety for about 16 years now and depression for about 6. Never been diagnosed, but kind of hard not to catch on to the panic attacks and depression spirals.

Anyway, I've been feeling really helpless lately, but am trying to make a positive change. I'm hoping that 7cups will help me figure some stuff out and give me a community that I don't feel guilty talking to about the stress in my life.

I think this is a positive step for me and hope to help you all as well.

Hello everyone. I have been through many obstacles in the last two years, following a car accident. I am slowly making progress and reaching out for more support, including joining this community. I look forward to talking with others, finding new ways to work through anxiety.

Hi everyone. I have severe anxiety and i am unsure if i have depression, though i think i do. My family life is also very stressful, which worsens my anxiety. Im just looking for some people who can help me through. I also hope that I might be able to help others that are dealing with similar situations.

Hey there

thats all umm bye

I have recently been diagnosed with anxiety and panic attacks - two weeks ago in fact. My relationship of one year and a half broke down 8 weeks ago - due to abnormal behaviours he said. This was in fact the diagnosis I recieved. We both did not understand what was going on with me. I would be happy during the day - getting through work but would be anxious around colleagues and friends. At home, with him I would be quiet and closed off as I was exhausted. He experienced several of my panic attacks of which during them I would leave the room and sometimes the building, a couple of times with a suitcase, as I was running away from the thoughts in my head of not being good enough for him. I was constantly rejecting him without reliasing. He has said that I have made him unhappy. I didn't realise that I was suffering with the thoughts in my head. I couldn't seem to break free from them. I now feel completely worthless, immature and guilty.

Hi.... I have just joined and I am looking for some support to help me with anxiety and bipolar depression.

Hey, I just joined today too, school's over for the week for me but I still feel super anxious. Was going to go out but decided not to...

I've had this account but not signed in for a few months. I've found my anxiety to be at its highest point in my life and I want to do something about it, and I want to feel less like a freak. I wonder if some people experience the same social issues and nervousness that I do.

Hi

I suffer from anxiety and I tend to struggle in social situations and freeze up if I feel I have done something wrong. I am also prone to feeling like a failure and a massive disappointment sometimes due to issues with my life, past and present.

I am currently receiving help for my anxiety and I have found 7cups a few days ago and so far has been good, I am finding the discussions in the chat rooms very helpful and everyone has been pretty friendly so far.

I'll be sticking around, I hope things will work out more and more.
