My never-ending anxiety.
Hi everyone, my name is Aidan, I’m 21, and I suffer from anxiety. I’ve even lost track of how long I’ve been feeling this way. I take calming pills every day, but sometimes I have panic attacks, and I can’t handle them—I feel restless and lost.
These days, the only person I truly love—my mom—got sick, and it scared me a lot. Now, I constantly feel anxious. Thoughts like “What if I lose her? How will I live after that? What will happen next?” keep running through my mind. I try to distract myself, but after 20 minutes, the anxiety comes rushing back.
I even have suicidal thoughts sometimes—I push them away, but when I wake up, the anxiety is so overwhelming that I just want to get rid of it.
@Aidan00302 aww honey I'm so sorry 🙁 anxiety is a horrible thing , bless you. I hope your mum is feeling better now 💗 when anxiety creeps in even more than normal, it can be extremely hard. It might be worth talking to your doctor, there maybe something extra they can give you to help you through the bad patches. Gives you a giant tiny hug 💗 we are all here for you, make sure you be extra kind to yourself during this time 💖
Thank you for your support, and I also hope that my mom will be okay. I’m already looking for a psychologist in my city because I can’t handle my messed-up mind on my own
@Aidan00302 that's awsome💖 I have a psychologist and she's really nice 😁 I hope you get all the support you deserve 💖💖💖 and prays that your mum will be all better soon 💗 hugs you tightly 💗
Thank you, you are very kind, and I also wish you all the best in your life. I’m also giving you a big hug❤️! You are the best, and you have encouraged me more than some people in real life. Is your psychologist online?
How can I send you message here ? I’m new here.
@Aidan00302 awww then welcome to cups 💖💖💖 I'm not a listener so we can only message each other here in the forums 💗 no I have a psychologist who comes here to meet me every week at the carehome💖
@Tinywhisper11 are you looking for a online or in person psychiatrist?
I haven’t decided yet since this will be my first visit to a psychologist. It’s a pity that I can’t send a message in direct.
@Aidan00302 yeah sorry we can't personally message each other😕 I've never tried online therapy, but I live in the UK, so I get it free 💖 take your time to look through the therapist that's right for you 💗 are you nervous?
You live in the country of my dreams😍 I hope that one day I’ll be there too. As for the psychologist, I’m not nervous at all. Without my anxiety, I’m a completely different person. Right now, I’m a totally different, cheerful person.
@Aidan00302 awww I'm glad your feeling ok at the moment💖 and I'm glad your not nervous, there's really no reason to be, they are all there to help you 💗 I'm originally from America, but I moved here when I was 18 this is a really great country. I hope you get here one day💖💖
Thank you so much! You really helped me a lot. I don’t give compliments just like that—you truly helped me, and I appreciate it. I wish I had a friend like you.
@Aidan00302 we can be 7cups friends 💖 gives you a giant tiny hug 💗💗 I'm sure you'll make lots of friends here in no time💖

Hello Aidan I'm feeling the same way that you feel about overthinking. Some nights I can't sleep because my mind is always torturing me with the same thoughts. I completely understand you
I’m really sorry that you’re feeling the same way. How do you cope with it?
Just breathing and sometimes crying it helps me a lot. But I don't wanna be crying all the time you know.
Please do not worry.Everything is gonna be ok.Please be positive.Try to take complex B vitamins every day for 2 -3 weeks.They will help you relax.I wish you and your mum all the best.Have faith in God.
Thank you so much! I’m trying, and God is my only hope.
