Hello. I'm happy you've found me on 7 Cups of Tea - it has been a welcome resource for my personal growth. I've had my share of ups and downs in my life but I've made it through all of them - and you will too. I have a long history of dealing with depression, anxiety, and social phobias - and like to think that my experience there makes me better suited to helping others with similar issues.
There's very little that makes me uncomfortable or that I find triggering, and I will do my best to be present and supportive for you no matter what your reason is for coming here.
If I'm online, please drop me a message about anything and everything.
♥

Q: What is it like to have depression & anxiety?
A: Depression and anxiety are those 2 friends you never invited over in the first place - and they want to sponge off of your energy and consume your happiness. The key is that they are created and dwell inside of our OWN minds and we can control and manage them. You can choose to "make friends" with them and acknowledge their pettiness *and* push them into their own corner - but getting rid of them is a much tougher chore. Having a plan in place for when either or both of them show up is ESSENTIAL to managing the stressors that they carry along. Tell anxiety - out loud: "NOT today - and tomorrow isn't looking promising, either." WE are in control of our self - it just takes patience and understanding to manage the bad guys.

YOU can do it - start today.

remember - out loud if you have to - and be FIRM, like driving an evil spirit from your home:

"NOT today - and tomorrow isn't looking promising, either."
