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!
Hey all,
I'm Sally (feel free to call me Sal). I am totally new to 7 Cups so still finding my way around but I look forward to being part of this forum and helping wherever I can. I struggle with anxiety (GAD), panic attacks, PTSD and depression. I am very anxious about masses of to-do lists that I have piled up in my mind, particularly regarding university and my part time work. I tend to internalise a lot of my difficulties so I am feeling quite isolated and would be delighted to connect with some like minded people
Cheers. X
Hello. Please call me Maddie. Well, I'm not sure about the cause, but for the past one and a half year, I can't feel at peace. I realized then that I have some anxieties. That is how I found this community. Thank you very much for the friendly and supportive environment.
Hi everyone
My name is Sarah and I have been struggling with anxiety off and on for about 12-13 years now. I've been doing well with self healing and assessment until the past few months and I've just gotten way too caught up in my own mind. I overthink my relationships at work and social anxiety concerns, pretty much daily when I get really stressed out. Which is pretty much all the time now lol
I'm pretty friendly and always willing to share and listen to someone, so please feel free to drop me a message if you wish to share and listen :)
Thanks!!

Im sophie and I am having a hard time being positive and not freaking out about little things. Any tips on managing emotions would be great.
Hello community 👋I am a new listener available for chat.
I have struggled with anxiety for as long as I can remember. A couple of years after highschool I decided to receive help for my anxiety as it started to negatively impact a range of important aspects of my growth into adulthood. From experience, finding ways to overcome and cope with certain aspects of anxiety becomes more important as time progresses. I hope my presence in this community is positive and uplifting! Please feel free to reach out to me
Hi
I'm Giecel. I have panic disorder and developing agoraphobia. And I am looking forward to getting back to normal. Bc I miss going out and I wanna live my life.
I hope this will help me understand my situation
Hi. I worry and stress about everything and get easily agitated with simple things. I have a lot of anxiety with my career and unfortunately value my self worth based on my accomplishments 🙄

Hi there, I have a similar problem. My work is at the centre of my universe and it has taken over my life and gave me anxiety (though also a means to feed the family). Hope you can find peace here on 7Cups! Have a good day ahead.
Hey everyone. I personally don't feel I have a clear understanding of what anxiety is. There're times when I'm in certain situations and can identify the things I'm feeling as anxiety, but it feels like a dream in that once it's over I can't fully grasp or remeber exactly what I was feeling. I'd love to hear what you guys define anxiety as. What are your personal thought on what it is to have anxiety?

Hi, for me it's a very physical thing. I get cold sweat, my heart starts pounding away, my hands shake and I start hyperventilating uncontrollably. This is usually triggered by thoughts of work, phone ringing and such. Then I feel simply wasted after the adrenaline rush. And dread the feeling of recurrence.
That's my experience. :)

Hi I am new here. My name is Nicole. I have a very similar situation. My anxiety is very physical and has recently caused my joints to lock in my hands while hyperventilating. My triggers are also the phone ringing, a knock at the door, sometimes even a text. Does this interfere with you leaving your house? As of recent I have been finding it difficult to even go outside.
@Wwart728
I was terrified of the phone ringing! But then I practiced the 5-second rule...where I go...5-4-3-2-1 GO! And do the thing I most dread to do, i.e. pick up the ringing phone. I do not have agoraphobia, or leaving the house. In fact, I'm working alone overseas and dealing with this panic disorder, with the help of mindfulness practice and medication. Hope it gets better for you! Do follow me or drop me a message if you want to talk. Thanks!

For me, my anxiety is defined as a sudden urge to remove my self from various situations or I will feel uneasy/possibly ill. These situations could be anything from playing arcade games at Main Event to eating at a restaurant with my family. It is incredibly hard for people to understand this sudden urge, but I honestly can't help it.
Hi
I worry over everything that happens in my life, including how my stuff is organized, socializing with other people, etc.
Hi i'm Cerr,
i have Severe Anxiety NOS, OCD, and symptoms of early onset schizophrenia with bipolar tendencies. i'm 15, 16 in september, i'm bisexual, and my personality type is INTP
i often worry about what people think of me or if i did something right etc. i worry about everything. my doctor has put me in CBT and i have to see a psychiatrist that is very good with people who have a mix of things like me. i'm not on any meds yet, my doctor thinks it'll make me worse giving me antidepressants because it would send me into a mania and i would probably off myself.
thats a little about me
