hey everyone!

Hi,
I really don't know what to write, i just thought it's a good idea. I've been here for a while under the eating d/o community but i recently got diagnosed with anxiety d/o and i go to 7cups just to calm myself and talk to listeners. I'm already 23, and a medicine student, which makes it more difficult. I get to miss an exam because of panic attacks, or get zero in a practical exam because i just can't control my trenbling hands and i can't turn the microscope knobs properly. It's been terrible and i feel like my psychiatrist is just loading me with lots of pills until i feel better. But i don't think that's really very helpful. I don't think my parents really understood what i have although they're very caring. My boyfriend gets dragged down by me too, which sucks, it's not making any of us any better. I feel frozen at times. You can call me lily btw, but that's not really my name, i just feel safe that way. I've never been to any support group or forums before, so hello.

Hi im Sharfa. I am an extrovert with incredible social anxiety, which, believe it or not, makes the anxiety a thousand times worse. I just found this site and I feel like this will really help me move forward and I am really looking forward to stop the over-thinking over-reacting and just go back to being that girl who was doing so well in life and just move forward and be someone who can just roll with it instead of crying about everything. I sincerly hope that everyone here gets past this and has happy amazing lives. I also hope that i can get some support here because people IRL dont believe there's anything wrong with me becuase i see okay. I'm not okay. I want to be tho. Lets all move towards being okay together <3
Hiii! :)
My name is Erica, and am 16 years of age. I live in the Philippines and growing up, my parents would like to think of me as their star child as I pretty much excelled in anything I was being put on. But as I got older, the expectations lowered because I wasn't performing as well in both academics and cultural matter which really made me self-conscious and anxious over the past couple of years. Hoping this new 7 Cups community would accept and welcome me warmly as I am! :)
hello people!
My name is Dylan and I suffer with Anxiety Disorder and Depression (not the best thing to brag about). I am not sure when it really started, but I have only seemed to really know what it is now. I started this program today, and it is very friendly. I wish to meet people with the same problems, but I am shy. That is why I came here. Thank you for reading,
-Dylan |-/

Hey, Dylan! I love your username!
Hey there! You can just call me C! I'm new to the site. I'm 22 years old and have been dealing with anxiety, mostly social anxiety, since my early teens. I had learnt to deal with it quite well but in the last year or so I've really started to struggle with it again.

Hey C, welcome to the site! :)
Hey everyone! You can call me Power, and I'm a listener with a lot of experience in anxiety. So if anyone ever needs an ear or a shoulder, I'm here for you.

Hi Power,
How's it going? Anxiety is a funny thing, isn't it? At least, it is to me. So, I experience "Anxiety" now and then. Most of the time, I don't even know that I am anxious (if I was anxious). Someone once asked me, "Are you stressed?" My first thought was... "I don't know."
I learned later to recognize symptoms (fight/flight body responses) which were caused by anxiety that I didn't know I had.
I found that the breathing exercise helps when I use it. Do you have any good breathing exercise which you can share with me? Do you have a tip for me to use it more consistently?
