I'm too anxious to talk with someone about my anxiety. Help?

The first step in letting out what's in your heart is to know that no one deserves to go through anything alone, believe that someone out there is right there for you. Find someone you trust and just slowly let them into your big heart.

Ah, we meet again my old friend ;) The anxiety you are experiencing is actually common, and a great foundation for a few changes I have recently suggested on 7 cups. Your anxiety comes from fear of being judged for who you are, fear that people might think less of you or think you are silly when expressing your feelings. Want to deal with it better? First thing is that you have to breath and relax. Look inside your self and find your core. once you are focused on your being, let the anxiousness pass through you in the moment. Now, the next thing you need to realize at this point is that you are human, and so am I, and pretty much anyone you will talk to, except for Noni the helpful little chat bot ;) Most people in this world aren't here to judge you. And if you think you have made bad mistakes, feel silly about your emotions or simply flat out fearful to be alive, chat with me, I am sure I am worse off... :P

That's a catch 22 if I've ever heard one. Congratulations, you're seeking answers already, so you're halfway there. Good job getting this far. My advice is search google for jokes about anxiety, because anything you can laugh at, you can deal with a lot easier.

There are online therapists, here on 7cups and all around the internet that would love to listen to you and what you have to say. Don't worry we won't judge you! We're here to listen to you and help you, so don't be afraid to talk to us!

Anxiety can be a hard thing to bring up to people. Some people might not understand it at first, or may be confused. For me, I knew I needed help with my anxiety but I was too scared to ask anyone in person, so I sent an email to my mom instead. It worked out well, because I didn't have to talk to her face-to-face so I didn't have as much anxiety. If you are seeing a therapist already, it's important to bring anxiety up, especially if it is interfering with your daily life. If you are feeling anxious when talk to a therapist or anyone else about it, take a deep breath and know that they care about you and want the best for you.

You just need to get comfortable with the person first, you don't have to share your issues straight away

Start by writing in a journal. Talking to yourself and acknowledging that your anxiety is something that needs to be addressed will help give you the courage to talk with someone else.
