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!
Hello everyone! I'm Jill and it's been a month since I joined 7 cups of tea and I'm so glad that I found our beloved community. A few days ago, I decided to join the Anxiety Support Community in order to express my own point of view about the topic itself and also, to give some advice and suggestions to our fellow members who also joined the said community. :)
Hi my name is Sarah and lately my anxiety is reaching a high point , and can't do it alone anymore .
Hello. I am a teen girl. I'm here looking for support, and hopefully to help others out in the future.
Hi, I'm Melanie. I have always been a worry wart but lately my anxiety has been out of control. I check every room in the house when i get home to make sure noone is there and still freak out about every little noise and i've been having physical sympoms now 0.0
Hi everyone.
I'm fairly new to 7 cups but unfortunately not new to anxiety. I am reaching out here as most of my family and friends have given up on me as they don't understand.
I find anxiety completely exhausts me and I'm so tired all of the time. My latest trigger for panic attacks is my kids fighting. This is a new trigger for me and it's really hard as they really need me and I just can't deal.
@Longing4peace
our triggers are always painful, and they take us to our most vulnerable and scary places just by definition. To have your trigger be your children fighting must be heart breaking as a mother. Their arguing is commonplace, it's part of sibling hood, toddlerhood, tweenhood, the teenage years and so it becomes a space for you to challenge yourself and your trigger so that you don't end up disconnected from the people you love more than anything else in this world. You are in the right place here at seven cups to find the support you need around this. Welcome to our community.

thanks Mary! It's definitely confusing me coz I've been a mum for most of a decade (not quite) and the squabbles haven't really bothered me up until this point!
Hello, i am from India. I am a socially anxious person of the extreme level. I used to avoid people initially, infact I have avoided people my whole life because I get anxious whenever it comes to facing people, talking to them, socializing. I really don't know how to get out of this. It is affecting my life, most of all my career. Whenever I go for a job interview this anxiety takes over me and everything just goes negatively for me. I really can't understand how to help myself. I get nervous in front of people so I just stopped talking to them or going out even with my friends. Nowadays I feel will I never be able to come out of this situation? will I ever be able to achieve anything in my life?
Hey everyone.
I'm 22 from the USA and pretty new to 7cups. I joined because I know I need help and can't do this alone anymore. Lately my anxiety has reached new heights and is keeping me from enjoying life. I'm scared and almost unable to go about my life as normal. So I'm here to take the first steps to overcome this fear and get back to something more normal!

Welcome, indigo. I for one am so relieved you are here. You're in the exact right place to find warm and compassionate support in your battle with anxiety. What you are experiencing is normal and you don't have to go through this alone. None of us should. So take some time to settle in, write as much as you can and connect with others. Holding you in mind!
Hi, I'm Chaya. I'm 20 from the UK. I'm new to 7 cups but really want to try it out and see if I can learn anything from it. I suffer from pretty severe general anxiety. I've been struggling with this for 4 years now. I've tried everything; many antidepressants/anti-anxiety meds - I'm currently on Sertraline..., Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness etc. I feel like I can't get a grip and I just need that little bit of extra support I guess. So here goes...
@Cld4x
Welcome to Seven Cups! You have so many great skills and training in your repertoire already, and here I think you'll find a really great group of people who can help you expand on that, implement it during very difficult moments, and to enhance your support network to manage a very difficult, isolating, and lonely disease. We're certainly glad you're here! Holding you in mind.
Hello my name is Kelli, I am so glad I recently found 7 cups as it is making get out of my comfort zone, I normally don't like to talk about my feelings so this is different. I've been having a tough year and my anxiety is out of control; I recently switched colleges and quit my job so I'm very anxious. My doctor has started me on anxiety pills and hopefully, along with the support from 7 cups, I'll be able to be alittle better. Thanks for listening. :)
Hello To The Anxiety Community!!
I'm beautifulPudding72! I know anxiety can be an intense emotion / feeling, I experience it myself. I'm grateful that we have this community here on 7 Cups to virtually talk to each other whenever one of us needs the other. Wishing you all the best! :)
