So, I have social anxiety, and today, I went to a city tournament for archery. Probably 100-150 people in a gym. Really scary, but I managed to do it and score well. :D
I am proud of you! You even scored well, which is like the cherry on top ^^! Most importantly, you just did it... regardless of the score. Keep it up
!
Greetings Calmwriter,
Congrats for overcoming such a huge obstacle! Social anxiety is often so difficult to live with and just going out is a huge step.Here is a little something for you <3:
"An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward.
When life is dragging you back with difficulties, it means it's going to launch you into something great.
So just focus, and keep aiming."
Thank you so much for sharing Calmwriter. You are an inspiration! :)

Thank you so much 7 cupfor helping me get my foot in to door on where to start changing my life.

I have finally got the courage to talk to a good listener about a rather personal problem that has been bugging me for years now. It used to make my anxiety much worse when I never addressed it, but I have had enough of bottling my feelings up and now I can trust people on this website to help me with whatever problems I have.
@rubberSeal222 We are limitlessly happy that you find it helpful here <3 7 cups is always opened to support you and whoever needs it. best wishes..
So while figuring out my depression, i have realized something...
I've been strong for others way too long.
There's no one who can be strong for me when I need them to be.
While that hurts, I have realized that if I were to be in a relationship, this is was I need the most (besides honestly).
While I have had to grow up strong for my family, and eventually everyone around me. And now, as I'm ending my junior year of college, I have found that it is killing me on the inside. I can't really relax around my family. I can't tell them about this, and it hurts. They have their own things to deal with, and I can't add more to their plates, it wouldn't be right of me to do so.
So, in the mean time, I will continue to be strong, as it is the only thing I know how to do. I hope there will be someone who can be strong for me when I can't be, but am prepared to be strong as long as it takes.
@AutumnEagle Stay holding this positive attitude , and I can only wish you the best of the best , and so here 7 cups is ready to support you..
