Anxiety

Silenteyes77 April 4th, 2018

I am new to the community. I had an anxiety or panic attack yesterday. It was the worse one Ive ever had. I decided after that I needed to connect with other people going through the same thing. I dont talk to anyone except my SO about what I am going through and he just doesnt understand. Sometimes I just feel so alone in this.

Welcome to 7cups and I hope you will find it supportive here.

There are so many people willing to listen and support. It's hard sometimes opening up -- and sometimes it's even hard to respond to someone who has opened up - worry about saying the wrong thing, not sure what to say or how to say it, and sometimes it hits close to home and you can't find the words to answer.

You'll find the forums sometimes take a few to get a response -- for the reasons above. Be sure to Browse the Listeners under Chat... there are great people just ready to listen to what you have going on - without judging. They don't give advice but sometimes -- just chatting and letting it out seems to really make things better. The Listeners have proven quite helpful *during* a panic attack -- just to listen about all the things going on and the feelings just bubbling up.


Wonder through the forums too... there's lots of threads out there that might peak your interest or offer good information -- or even a diversion or two when you need it. :D

Thanks for posting -- I hope you will enjoy 7cups and the support you find here.
