Hello, everyone! I'm not new on 7 Cups, but I am new to the anxiety forum. I have had anxiety about random things from a young age, but only recently have I found out what it was. My anxeity manifests, usually, as anger and more recently panic attacks related to health issues. I'm currently using deep breathing to control my attacks (which only really occur 2 weeks before my period, same with my outbursts of temper.) but I would like to train my brain to not freak out.

Well, I just found out that my anxiety is probably connected to my recent diagnosis of celiac disease. Living life gluten free has been easier than I thought it would be. I've struggled with my health and anxiety issues since I was about 7. I am new to the idea of online support groups, and I didn't even know they were this dynamic until just recently. I am excited to try it out. Luckly I am not in at a low point starting out on here, and I hope to keep my head above water during my next semester in college. I do believe this could help me stay motivated and postivie this semester.

I'd love to meet some individuals that can relate or may just want to chat about life :)

I have a diagnosis of Generalized Anxiey Disorder, . I fear not being able to make decisions like when to prioritize my time. I get stressed out and i fear I am not in control. If I have worry in the back of my mind all the time, it is so difficult to manage my Anxiety. When something stressful is controlling me I can't eat. I have to have my problems resolved through communication to resolve my issues then the Anxiety lessens. I don't always have Anxiety just now and it is worsing.

Hey, I decided to get back to 7cups now that school starts again and I'm getting a bit nervous about that. I was diagnosed with a psychosis and from time to time I can feel anxieties coming on. I'm glad to talk to people who are enduring things like I am and hope I can get better with time.

Hello, everybody. My name is Nick, and I never had much anxiety throughout my life. Recently I have this growing nervousity that has really taken over me, for I am beginning to start 11th grade. I am pretty excited to support other people with their anxiety because I know now it could affect your day to day life.

Hi it's my first post on any forum I've never join anything before but I'm hopeful this may help to talk to others going through them same feelings as myself. I started getting panic attacks after a radical hysterectomy in march of 2014 they started really soon after my op and totally floored me. I didn't have a very good time whilst having my op I should have been in theatre for an hour and a half and I was actually in theatre for 8 hours. I had to have 3 blood transfusion and for a couple of days it was touch and go weather I'd make it or not. This together with hormone replacement is why I think they started. Mine aren't triggered by thoughts I don't think I'm going to die I no I'm having a panic attack I just hate the way the make me feel. I'm sure I make them worse because I just want them to be over as I hate feeling scared and afraid pins and needles all over sweating shaking etc. I hate the fact they control me and I'm not in control of my own mind when I have a really strong attack I want to be able to control them. I'm on a waiting list to see a therapist got an appointment this morning for middle of September which at the moment feels a life time away. So this is why I decided to look for a internet group who understand what I'm going though and could maybe help by suggesting things to help control my panic attacks I haven't thought off myself.
