Anxiety

I’m here for that too. My anxiety and depression are affecting my life so negatively, but I’m so terrified to go anywhere, and then I get more depressed. It’s a vicious cycle. I’m trying so hard to get out of it.

@reliableMoon3028

Hello and welcome to 7Cups! I'm glad that you're reaching out, I understand it must be a lot to process. But we're here for you!

@reliableMoon3028 I have same feeling sometimes. Maybe try to get professional help. Hope you will get better. Take little steps.

@reliableMoon3028

Hey! I am so proud of you for coming to 7 cups and asking for help! That is a huge step in the right direction! I promise you, you are not alone when dealing with anxiety. Anxiety is very hard to deal with, I know, but there are many ways to deal with it. One of the biggest ways that have personally helped me is paced breathing. Personally what I do is I breath in for 5 seconds, hold for 3, and out for 5, but you can do whatever works for you. This technique leads to your heart rate to decrease eventually leading to a decrease in anxiety. You have so many people here on 7 cups and in your own personal life to help and support you. You got this!

@reliableMoon3028 Hello! It's completely understandable to feel that way. 😔 Anxiety can indeed take a toll on living a normal life, but you've already taken the first step by acknowledging it and seeking a way to overcome it. Remember, you're not alone on this journey; many have faced similar struggles and have found effective ways to manage their anxiety. Seeking support, whether through therapy, relaxation techniques, or even talking with understanding friends, can make a significant difference. Take things one step at a time, be kind to yourself, and know that with time and effort, you can work towards a life where anxiety doesn't control your every moment. 💗

Hi there! Welcome to 7cups! I am sorry that you are experiencing anxiety, that must be difficult to understand and deal with. Although I am glad you are reaching out for help!

@reliableMoon3028

I totally understand these feelings!

@ArticulateListener123

Sorry, I accidentally hit post before I was ready. What I meant to say was that I totally understand those feelings! I feel the exact same way at times. I have found that trying to focus on the positive things in my life can be very beneficial. Sometimes doing activities like jogging or other exercise always helps center my mind when I'm feeling down. Talking with others about my thoughts can be very helpful too. If you ever feel like you would like to speak with someone 1-on-1, please feel free to reach out to me.

Hello and welcome to 7 cups. I understand living with anxiety can be very overwhelming. Well done for taking the first step in reaching out for support.

@reliableMoon3028

I understand your life may have lots of issues but always tell yourself that why to live life in stress and pressure while you can live it with pleasure and fun. Believe me changing the perspective makes a lot difference 

@reliableMoon3028

@reliableMoon3028

Greeting, this feeling of anxiety, understood well by I. The response that’s working to keep me safe can be oh so uncomfortable. Realizing that this response is not something I can program out of me, getting an understanding of the triggers and familiarity of sensations can build my relationship with anxiety to a more constructive arrangement. Reach out anytime and we can chat more on this! I am here for you.

Let me share my story. It might help. I have been dealing with depression for over 20 years. My last battle was about 3 months ago and it hit me pretty hard so I decided to see a psychologist for the first time in about 7 years. It helped me a lot. He discussed how anxiety and depression actually work and he also suggested for me to read 2 books. The 10 Best Ever Anxiety Management Techniques and Feeling Good. They discuss not only coping skills but talk about how bc go the brain works in regards to anxiety and depression. I really liked the books and I am still reading them. I am not a huge fitness guy but for the last 5 months or so I take a walk in my hilly neighborhood and I also jog a little bit to get my heart rate up. This helps me tremendously. I usually do it on my lunch break because I work close to home. I am also on an anti depressant which is 20 mg of Lexapro and when I go through my anxiety/depression episodes I will take Klonopin. There is hope and you will be ok. Trust me. 

Hello, welcome to 7cups! I can see why you would want to overcome anxiety. It stands in the way of life, and makes so many otherwise easy things difficult. Can you tell us more about it? When do you experience anxiety, and have you found any ways to deal with it?

Many people suffer from it. Hopefully you would find your happiness.

I started a new job recently and it’s only brought my anxiety to the front 1000%.

I’ve always been afraid of new things, but I’m living in constant fear mode. There’s no real reason for it.

Im here for the same reasons. It’s hard to feel normal when your brain is going at 1 million scenarios at a time!
