i need help

...See more Hello, I hope this thread is finding everyone well. I have recently been having the worst anxiety and depressive episodes of my life in the past couple months. I don’t think I’ve gone a single day without crying and it’s even happened at work and around friends. Ive just had this constant feeling of regret and anxiety that hits at random points in the day. Regrets about my choices in life, about where I am right now, and the direction I’m afraid I’m heading in. Every day it feels like it gets worse and I have nobody to talk to about it, I desperately need someone like a therapist or psychologist asap but I can’t afford any online and the only ones I’ve reached out to through my insurance have not gotten back to me. It’s making me feel very worthless and helpless. I don’t know how much longer I can go on like this

Anxiety about my age and going back to school

...See more I’m 23 and starting school again for the first time since 2021. I was a freshman in college when we went on lockdown and I tried to stay in online classes but I just couldn’t do them. I dropped out in 2021, got kicked out for it, and I have been working two jobs to afford my own rent ever since. Now I have financial help for school and I’m going back, but I have been too anxious about my age. Everyone in my classes is younger than me and not only do I feel regret for what I did but I am envious of these younger adults who didn’t have to go through what I did. I wish I could have done this all sooner, but Covid ripped it away from me. I am trying, though, to find a career even though I can’t do it very fast because I’m still working full time.

I have terrible social anxiety, to the point I don’t think my friends like to be around me anymore

...See more The caption kind of says it all. I don’t do well in crowded places, I don’t loud noise, I don’t like shopping. I love to go out and just walk or be places, but talking isn’t my strong suit. I’m much more of a nature enjoyer, I like to draw and hike. My friends are all the opposite—they love going to social events, throwing parties, and going thrifting in the city. Lately, my friends have been planning events without me. Things that range from going to art festivals or simple coffee shop hangouts. They’re always in the phone together and I know they have a group chat without me, because they’re always making plans that I never hear about. It definitely hurts, but I don’t have the heart to intrude on them if I’m not invited. This weekend, they have a weekend trip planned a few hours drive away at the beach. I’m invited for Saturday because it was the only day I could afford without hotel. But my parents heard about it and offered to pay for me, and urged me to try and be apart of the second day’s plans. I don’t know what they are, but when bringing it up to my friend group, it sounded like me tagging along would be real pain to them. They of course told me that I’m invited and all, but I could tell in their tone that they may have been annoyed with the sudden change. Or maybe I’m overthinking it. I don’t know. I’ve always felt like I don’t fit in with them. I want to tell them I can do my own thing if it’s really an inconvenience to them. But I feel like I’ll get the same dismissive response. this was definitely more of a rant than something to ask. I just don’t really have anyone to talk to about it.

...See more My name is Kaya and I’m a college student. I came to 7 Cups to find a therapist or listener and stayed to try and get to know the community and find some help. Ive struggled with anxiety my whole life, undiagnosed and untreated. My school counselors always told me to go and see a psychiatrist and I never got around to it. So I have some for sure unhealthy coping mechanisms and recently have just been spiraling into a bad place, mainly insecurity about where I am in my life and my age. (I was supposed to graduate college this year but it didn’t happen) I’ll try to be more positive from here. I love nature, I love my dogs and I like to draw and paint to calm myself down. I also have found running to be the perfect way to relieve stress and anxiety temporarily, so I run 3-5 miles a day. I haven’t even had this app for a day but I’m looking to meet some people and help relieve this stress in a healthy way. :’) sorry if this is formatted weird. Hope you have a great day <3
