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!
I'm a 24 year old. Social anxiety and worried. College student.
Hi @MadamR3d, welcome to 7 Cups of Tea. College can be pretty stressful, so it often brings issues like social anxiety to the fore. You're certainly not alone here! I hope your college has some good student support services and that you'll find 7 Cups of Tea helpful as well :)
@MadamR3d Hello there,
College can definitely be stressful and increase your anxiety levels. As a college sophomore (soon-to-be junior), I've experienced tons of anxiety. I feel your pain and understand your worries. However, don't hesitate to reach out on here through listeners, group chats, and forums in this Anxiety Support Community!
Hello,
I have severe depression and recently lost my job and in the process of losing some who is my rock.
It feels like it is the end of the world any everyone is judging you but it gets better, I've been told, haven't gotten there myself yet but I know its there.
Hi @Robin74, welcome to 7 Cups of Tea. Sorry to hear about your job and the prospect of losing someone close to you, those are two pretty major challenges for life to throw your way. Even when it feels as if everyone is judging you, I hope you'll find 7 Cups of Tea to be a place of acceptance and support. We want this to be a kind and caring, judgment-free place :)
Hi I'm Nikki, 25, and diagnosed with mild depression, anxiety/OCD.
I had my first panic attack at 21, and it's been steadily getting worse. I was not "officially" diagnosed with OCD, because the symptoms get "lost" because of other chronic medical conditions.
Kinda sucks when you want help because you hurt yourself due to a compulsion and your doctor says it's because of another condition...especially since the compulsion is new and you've dealt with the other condition since early childhood. I'm still seaking another opinion but it's an interesting ride...
I'm also an artist! I like to draw and read as well.
I'm liking 7 cups so far...glad to know I'm not crazy about my own mental health.
Hi guys!:)
My names Sam and my anxiety has been going through the roof recently, im 17 and although some people say i seem out going i really struggle, for example i always feel like im being looked at, and if no one replies i feel like the world has turned against me :( this seems like a cool place so hopefully it'll get better!!!!:)

Hi Sam, welcome to 7 Cups of Tea. You're right, it's a cool place :) It's possible to be extroverted and to have social anxiety, so perhaps you really are outgoing, despite the anxiety. Regardless of what people say, in the end it's your choice or journey to discover who you are, or decide how you want to be. I hope you find 7 Cups of Tea can help you along the way.
Horrible anxiety this past week and today was real bad! I saw my counselor and couldn't stop fidgeting and crying. He was nice as usual and says its normal. I hate it though. I wish it would just go away already.
Hi, I'm new here.
I hope I won't make too many mistakes in my posts, but I'm not English so I'm sorry.
I don't know when this anxiety started, but years ago I had my first panic attack and every year, on spring, I relieve that awful moments.
I fear anything beside my routine, I'm scared of dying if I do something new and I realise it's silly, but I can't help myself.
I'm trying to win against this anxiety, I force myself to do things even when all I can think about is fear, but I feel alone in this battle against myself, I know I can't count on myself right now and all I wanna do is cry.
I'm searching for a place where I can find support, I hope I found it here.
Hi I'm Bailey, I struggle with anxiety.. Especially socially and in school. Has kinda progressed into self loathing and negativity these past few weeks and just wanted to get to know some people who can relate and get advice.
Thanks :)
Hi,
Cassie here. I'm new to 7 cups and I have anxiety. I really like the site so far. I am struggling with finishing school last year. Moved out of home and now I'm unable to find work. This has increased my anxiety attacks and breakdowns. I also have social anxiety where I really like to be social but don't have conversational skills that I need
@Cass96 hi! Welcome to 7 cups. I hope you find the support you're looking for here. :) Feel free to message me if you need to chat!
@Cass96 Same here i want to talk to people so bad it just wont come out or i just freeze. Then if i do i stutter and mumble were i dont even understand what i say. so i mostly just stay to myself all alone o friends ya somedays are better than others but most of the time its awful.
@Cass96 Hello! Welcome to the community! I totally understand anxiety and social anxiety getting in the way of your work life and social life. I've had trouble finding jobs, but have persevered to find them in the past and quite recently. You can do it if you have the motivation! Social skills are learned, so that will take time. But you will get there, as have I. In the meantime, feel free to reach out in this community or through listeners whenever you need help! You're going ti be fine. :)
