Hi, i'm MCB and I have severe depression and anxiety
@24MCB Hi MCB, welcome to 7cups! There are a lot of us who can relate to feelings of depression and anxiety at the same time. Good for you for taking a positive step here.
Come by the daily check-ins for anxiety or depression anytime and let us know how you're doing! Welcome! :)
Hello everyone! I've had anxiety for as long as I can remember, but this past year I've finally started to do something about it, and use things like meditation, breathing exercises, and learning how to identify certain negative thoughts to help myself. I want to keep helping myself work through my anxiety, and hopefully help people here too or atleast just provide a listening ear.
@Milkpancakes That's great Milk! So good that you've learned some things that are helping you!
Hello~! I've been on 7cups for a little while but never introduced myself, my name is Pastel and I have severe anxiety~ I really love to draw, dance, read tons of novels, play with makeup and play video games~ I also have depression but it only hits me in waves and typically when my anxiety worsens.. I've come here to try to get a grip of my mental health and try to improve and control my illnesses~! I hope everyone has a lovely day~
I'm Sam.
I've always been a very anxious person, but didn't get diagnosed until I left home for college. As a child growing up I would have massive panic attacks, though I never knew what they were at the time.
Anxiety has affected me so much of my life, it's so hard. It's painful to me, it's nearly unbareable. When I get into a depression and anxiety spiral, I can be afraid to leave my home for weeks, even.
When anxiety isn't ruining my life, I like to read, go on tumblr, bake, and sometimes knit!

Heya!
I'm Cookie, I have social anxiety and ADHD.
I'm most of the time a very positive person, but we all have our breaking points.
I like to sing, draw, and play video games
I hope we can all be friends!
Hi
I'm new to 7 cups and trying to find my way through anxiety. I've always been a little more sensitive than others even towards inanimate objects, and facing panic attacks from a time unknown. I didn't know what it was until its frequency and intensity starts increasing with me growing up. I panic in doing simple task which my friends can easily do like talking to strangers or asking a question to the teacher in the class let alone public speaking. The fear of people noticing my physical symptoms of anxiety make it even worse which includes increased heart beat, sweating, drying of mouth, numbness of mind and annoying trembling of hands. People around me always say that I'm weak and with this personality I'm not going to make it in this cruel world. As far as my dreams go, I want to be a research scientist in neurology or oncology.
@StarDust03 I have severe anxiety too. I have tried denying it hoping it would go away. Of course, it didn't. I've come to accept that I need to incorporate as many coping techniques as it takes to function. Research & you will find what works for you. Keep an open mind. Anxiety doesn't mean you're weak. I have felt like you do, that I can't handle life. It's a treatable condition. You can still achieve your dreams.
@Crazykat1984 Thanks. Yeah i never believed that i'm weak. I've managed to go through somethings they can't bear to look at. Its good to know that you've found techniques to keep your anxiety at bay. Good luck!
@StarDust03 we have the same name! ^^ Welcome! I feel the same way. It's okay, I'm new here too. It gets better :)
