new in town :)
hi there! :)
I tried 7 cups when i was younger but never really kept up with it, but I've been dealing with severe anxiety for as long as i can remember and i've seen the depths of depression more than once, and those things dont ever really go away on their own. so, im hoping to sorta catch them before they get worse again if that makes sense? i've heard over and over that you should take care of your mental health even when it isnt bad, and i think it about time i give it a try.
my anxiety has been ramping up a lot recently and sometimes it's really hard to figure out which thoughts are rational and which ones make no sense at all. i have a tendency to allow myself to spiral completely out of control and work myself into panic attacks over things that dont really deserve that much of my energy, so i'm hoping to find some coping mechanisms that work and share some of my own tricks and experiences in hopes i can help others while i'm at it :)
