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. Anxiety and fear are a constant in my life. It has seriously strained my marriage. I feel like a weak person. But I don't want to believe that I am.
@michaelh Anxiety doesn't make you weak. I know many people with anxiety and I wouldn't think of any of them as weak. Everybody has there own issues whether it's anxiety or physical issues or anything of the like. I too struggle with constant anxiety and OCD and it takes some time to realize that no matter what it may seem, you are not weak or alone. Hope that helps :)
Anxiety is a new thing for me. About a year ago I had an encounter that left me with some PTSD, and as a result have developed serious circumstantial anxiety and depression. Some days nothing triggers me. Other days, it's a struggle to calm down and get out of my head :/ I appreciate the kindness and openness I've found here.
Hi all. I have been battling with anxiety and depression for about 8 years now, and it's gotten harder to deal with since I've been in college. I'm hoping that I can vent my irrational thoughts on this site so that they don't interfere with my day to day life anymore. So far, it's been a big help! I hope the rest of you know that you are never alone and this is great to have a whole community here to support each other.
Hi, I'm Nina. I'm a working mum of one and I've been suffering with anxiety and depression on and off for the last few years (ever since my daughter was born really). I've recently just gone back on medication,half the dose of last time and reluctantly so too.
I am expecting a scheduled telephone call from the local mental health department today, I have been waiting for 4 weeks - proof to show how over stretched this area of health care is. I'm hoping they can refer me for some one-2-one talking therapy.
I'm also really trying with the mindfulness practice, it has made me realise what an active and wandering mind I have. Good luck on your journey everyone x

hi, I'm a high school student. I basically live for the arts (mostly theater). I also so really like science, mostly psychology. i also have a language disorder, i had a major speech impediment for most of my early years. because of this i spend most of my time in and out of doctor's offices and did not have many friends at school. i also have issues with spelling that often lead to me rewriting things if i can's spell a work (i have had to look up spelling for 6 words so far). a little after my speech impediment went away (i still have some minor speech issues though) i started getting depressed and developed social anxiety. over some time i got over my social anxiety for the most part but i still get panic attacks, recently my panic attacks have been getting worse.
Hi, this is my first post.
I have been struggling with a social anxiety disorder ever since I was bullied at my university.
I used to be very outgoing, and talk to anyone and now I just feel bad whenever I'm around others...
@MusicandsunshineI'm so sorry to hear that . remember you are not a lone , and you are welcome to 7 cups
Thank you.
I am trying to get used to the chats and stuff, but is even get anxiety, as people get very argumentative. and I'm extremely sensitive, not a great combo.
