New To The Anxiety Support Community? Introduce Yourself Here!
Let us know more about you, what brings you to 7 Cups! We are glad you are here!
Hi, I'm a 31 year old woman from India and have been suffering from depression and anxiety for past 6 months. I find it difficult even to get out the bed and to do day to day tasks. I feel tired all the time and have weird feeling in my stomach many a times. I try to distract myself to avoid thoughts which are the root causes of my anxiety and depression but fail miserably.
@brightowl2109 I read your post and wanted to let you know you're not alone. I have been diagnosed with both depression and anxiety and I know how debilitating they can be. Depression won't let you out of bed and the weight of anxiety presses on. I sometimes find that preparing for the next day helps, so it doesn't have that much control but I understand there are times where you just can't. I'd love to chat with you sometime.
@brightowl2109 hang in there! I feel you. I'm Indian living in the US. I have anxiety with panic attacks. It's been pretty debilitating. But I'm hopeful things will get better with time. Hope you find support here too.
@Hopefullywaiting, thanks for the encouraging words. Hope you get the strength to fight and get better soon.
@Hopefullywaiting, let me know if you would like to talk about your issues. I'll be happy to hear. 🙂
Hi there everyone:)
I'm new here on 7cups.
A bit of a loner surrounded by a large number of people who love me, but I don't know why can't I ever open up to them.
Looking for an opportunity to open up.:))

Hey! I'm new on 7 cups as well, and would be glad to talk to you sometime. 😊
@friendlyLoner27 @project5232 Welcome to both of you !
@friendlyLoner27 You'll have plenty of opportunities hopefully! We'll have a great time :)
Hi, I'm new here. I am not diagnosed with any anxiety disorder and I'm not really sure if I fit in here but the weight of the world has been pressing down on me really hard recently and it's been hard to function. Sometimes I wonder if I just need to tough it out more or if there is something that's really wrong with me. I just can't seem to find my footing and it feels like no matter how hard I try I keep messing everything up. I haven't had a full blown anxiety attack in a few years but instead it feels like I'm always on the brink of one never knowing when I'm going to be tipped over. Any friendly conversation is welcome, I just really need a friendly ear to talk to.
@wispywhiskers Welcome ! There's hopefully a place for everybody here :)
Hi I'm Mil, my anxiety comes in waves, and there are times when I'm paralyzed by the big ones.
Hi!! I'm karlee, I used to use this app a lot about 2 years ago and now am trying it out again because my life is very stressful and so much is going on but hey! Message me if you wanna be friends or for anything and that's me :)
I was a listener on 7cups around 18 months ago, but I now I need the listener.
My anxiety is so bad that I am meant to be on a Prac for uni, but instead I am hiding in the library on here.. doing everything I can to avoid actual contact with anyone :(
@strawberrycreamsurprise
You can talk to me whenever you want.
Hi, I'm MouKarai! I'm currently an intern on 7 cups :). While not officially diagnosed, I can very much relate to a lot of the struggles of anxiety--social anxiety in particular. I'm here as part of my own journey in confronting that anxiety as well as assisting anyone else going through the same things. I'd love to get to know everyone on this forum over the course of the next few weeks :)
Hi, just joined. 2 fold anxiety - mine and my kids (which adds to mine). Looking for some sanity.
Hi! I'm Hannah!
I was diagnosed with anxiety a few years ago. I'm probably what's called a high functioning anxious person (haha probably said that wrong), I kind of take that as almost everyone around me thinks that I'm perfectly normal but head feels like it's about to burst from all of the overthinking I do everyday.
I'm nervous but excited to get to know people who may be like me :)
Hi, my name's Caroline. I don't know what I should put in this... So um, I just joined 7 cups, and I was diagnosed with anxiety, and now ive been rediagnosed with depression ontop of my anxiety.
I just kind of downloaded this app without knowing what to expect. If you read this thanks I guess? Hope you have a good day.
