Anyone else have anxiety/panic attacks about posting?
Today I'm having panic attacks about posting to forums. I'm really nervous and for some reason feel like I'm being judged even though I know everyone here is really nice. I don't know how to overcome this. I just keep trying to post things but today I just keep telling myself negative things like 'no one cares. No one wants to hear what you have to say. You're pathetic. You should just stop.' Does anyone else get like this as well? When I first started posting to forums I was nervous and felt kind of awkward but I hadn't felt this way again until today. I just feel really self-conscious and like my posts aren't 'good enough'. I feel pretty low right now and I've been doing some of the things that make me feel better but I just can't seem to calm down, you know? Any suggestions to overcome posting anxiety?
i sometimes get anxious about posting. but please don't be afraid to post on 7 cups. no one will judge you and no one will be angry :)
@funfettifrosting Thank you <3 That really means a lot to me :)
@NotQuiteBlue Yes I feel the same some days as well. But I agree that you should post so that we can help each other here on 7Cups - You are important and your story matters 
@ninetaleslove
Thank you so much <3 It's so amazing to have so much support. I really do appreciate it.
@NotQuiteBlue
I totally understand how you feel! This is actually the first post Ive made in like 2 years Ive been on 7cups and Ive done several drafts because I cant find the way to make it sound interesting enough.
Guess Im pressing send now without a second thought before I regret it and erase it again.
@lizzb Thank you so much for posting. It means so much to me that you've posted here after 2 years of not posting <3. I can totally understand. Before I was a member, I use to come onto 7 cups, write something that I wanted to post and never do it because I was far too nervous. Nothing ever was good enough and to post and I felt so hopeless, you know? I finally got enough courage to message a listener and talk to them about how I was feeling and after talking to them I made an account and started to post some stuff :) I've only recently made an account and it took me almost a year to actually feel like I could become a member and start talking to others about it. I hope you feel better about posting soon and know that you can overcome this :) If you ever feel like talking to a member, you can always message me :) Good luck :)
Not just on this site, but in general I have a lot of anxiety about posting things. That
