Bio

Hey:) I'm glad you've found me on 7 Cups of Tea. I'm a trained active listener and I like to support people struggling with panic attacks, anxiety, eating disorder, self harm, sexual identity, family problems, depression, and alcohol and drug abuse/addiction. My interests include writing and collecting crystals. Everything I've listed above has affected me at some point in my life. Please don't be shy. If I'm online, shoot me a message and we can get chatting. If I'm offline, send me a message and I'll reply shortly. Let's talk about it.
You matter.

Recently Diagnosed with Severe Major Depression
Depression Support / by filiafotheaa

...See more So recently, I went to my GP and had a talk with one of the doctors about how I've been feeling. We talked for an hour and she diagnosed me with sever major depression. We set up an appointment with a mental health nurse 4 days later, just for confirmation that it was that and not something else and the mental health nurse confirmed it. We talked about my options and it was decided that I was to be starting Prozac and possibly something else (can't remember what it's called) for anxiety this Thursday. I'm just having trouble coming to terms that I have a mental illness. I thought it was normal to be like this since I was 13 (I'm 16 now) and I always thought that my inability to do basic tasks was due to laziness. My worlds been flipped upside down and I just need some support. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in starting like a small support group for people with major depression? There are no support groups in my area, sadly and I've been so anti social this past year, I've lost all my close friends.  I was thinking that we have like a thread of a few people (that is, if anyone is interested in doing this) and we help support and motivate each other, because I think it's a lot easier when you have someone who understands what you're going through. My family is supportive, but really has no clue how depression works and I bet other people feel the same way. Shoot me a message if this is something you'd be interested in, guys! I'll get back to you ASAP and come up with rules and guidelines and like a plan sheet.  Cheers! Mikaela x

...See more I applied for my first job. Because of my anxiety and panic disorder, I kept putting off applying for jobs but today I sent in my CV and my cover letter AND had a phone interview (talking on the phone makes me super anxious). I don't even care if I get the job or not. I'm just happy that I applied. Baby steps :)
