Hi all, My name is Holly and I have been dealing with depression and anxiety for about two years now. Have been doing pretty well for a few months but now am feeling myself get sucked back into depression. It's a horrible feeling and I'm so disappointed. I think I thought I was done with it! My loved ones do try but their empathy wears thin. Husband seems to be kind of over it though he's been really supportive in the past. I think he's disappointed as well. Anyways, just found the site and thought it couldn't hurt.

Hi my name is McKenzie, I've been recently going through tough times with relationships and loss of friends and sexuality that isn't being accepted. I joined so I would be able to talk to people and not be judged... Because unbiased opinions are hard to come by these days.

Hi my names, Claire. I'm 25 have had depression for about 7 years, after 3 deaths in my family within 3 years. I've had two relapses and am afraid I'm having my third. I feel tired of life. It's hard to get up and go to work. I don't enjoy anything anymore. I know it's just thoughts and they don't mean anything but it doesn't feel that way at the minute.

Hi, my name is Bri and I am healing. I've faced depression, anorexia, anxiety, self harm for 10 years now. I'm turning 21 this year, which is something I never thought I'd actually make it to. I had plans to kill myself before I started college because I was simply in a place where death felt better than failing and never feeling good enough. Luckily I no longer feel that way and am in my third year of college. I have plans to get my masters soon and go on to help others with non-profit organizations and social media connections. I found 7cups of tea not only to help myself and find a friendly ear but to listen and be there for others as well. I'm no professional, just a friend.

Hi, I'm V. I have been dealing with depression since I was 13, I'm 29 now. I haven't been able to cure it. I've tried numerous doctors, medication, etc. and it's still here. I have accepted it as a part of my life now.

Hi everyone,
It's nice to meet you all...I hope everyone is having a good day today and I just wanted to welcome myself to the website. I located the forum most directly related to myself and I decided to introduce myself here. My name is Mike and I am new here and I would like to join a supportive and understanding community. Hello to everyone and I am anxious (when am I not anxious) to converse with those who share similar struggles.

Hi my name's Becci I'm 27 years old but I feel about 77 tbh.... A little about me;

- I suffer from high anxiety.

- I sometimes have panic attacks.

- I have recently been diagnosed with Boarderline Personality Disorder.

- I also have PTSD

I used to be so outgoing, loud, confident and adventurous I am now the complete opposite with low self esteem... My illnesses have been caused by my past... I was abused emotionally and physically as a child, I have been sexually assaulted and raped, I have lost a lot of people who I was close with - ( I've seen too much death ) I think so much negativity has happened in my life so far my whole body and mind has given up and broke down... I'm really hoping that things will get better and that I will feel better soon because it's exhausting and frustratinghaving to live this way, I don't know whether I'm coming or going

Anyway thank you for listening to me rant. Take care everyone. X

i have been suffering from depression since i was 12. i started to withdraw from the society. i would stay home all the time. i stopped talking to people. i felt down most of the time. i would get angry at small things and get more angry at myself for being angry. life just seemed dull and nothing seemed to interest me. i would get this feeling of being invisible in everyone's eyes, as if they are just looking through me. now its not as bad as it was before, but i sometimes feel like i will fall right back to the start any moment. this really scares me.

I'm new to 7 cups. Is this to introduce yourself?

My name is Katie, I believe I have always had depression. In highschool I had a really hard time managing it and chose to seek help from the childrens psychiatric unit in the hospital. It was the best decision I made for myself at that time. The doctor gave me prescriptions to medications that help me manage my depression. However, it doesn't work miracles. I struggle with my depression and anxiety EVERY single day, with the medicine. Lately, I have been having a lot of personal changes that are good and bad and confusing.. part of being a 20 something year old. It is triggering my depression tendencies and I am fighting really hard. But like many know, depression just makes me want to give in and sleep and do nothing. Seems easier than fighting it! My story isn't over yet... that's me talking not the depression.
