New To The Anxiety Support Community? Introduce Yourself Here!
Let us know more about you, what brings you to 7 Cups! We are glad you are here!
Hey all, im Byrd. I decided today to confront my bulimia. Im 24 and have been binging and purging since high school. Im ready to be better to myself and cultivate a healthy relationship with food and eating! No more anxiety about my body or food, please!! (That's a goal, anyway).
this year has been extremely difficult for me and I'm having panic attacks frequently now, and I really just don't know who to tell
Hey im kind of new to this so im just going to wing this. HI, Im Kar,and in ghetto high school. In this past september last year, my friend, who goes to a very regloius school, had a party and like a dumbass, i made out with this kid there. So the entire school hates me. fastforward to last december, me and the guy who hosted the party had a fling and stuipdly, i caught feelings and he had me wrapped around his finger. he eventually dropped me not long after in january and for some reason a started becoming depressed, not necessarily because of him, just life in general and i was sent to a hospital because i told my parents i wanted to jump off a bridgeand you all are probably done reading this and are skimming past me now butthis upcoming summer i have to go to jesus camp (yes jesus camp, my parents are sending me and they dont even know that i dont believe in God) and see that friend i had a fling with and some of the other people that went to his school who think im a white trash whore and spend a week with them in the mountains alone with no phone or car to leave and although im on medications im having anexity through the fucking roof and jumping off a bridge doesnt sound that bad again.. any advice will be apperciated..
I'm new to this so..here it goes. I'm suffering from depression and a lack of self worth. I'm nothing more then a DUFF. No matter who I'm with or where I am I'm invisible, I go day to day wondering if someone will see me, I'm wondering now if someone will read this. There are so many more people out there with worse problems then me. I don't know why I'm here...I cry every night. I don't really have anyone to talk to, no one understands. If I hear " just shake it off" or " get over it" one more time I'm gonna scream. They mean well, but it doesn't help.
@simplyshy I'm so sorry about all this. I often struggle with comparing my problems with others and wondering why they even matter to me. Please remember your problems are valid, even if others' seem much worse. Everyone experiences different problems--some that seem easier to deal with than others--but everyone's way of experiencing those problems is different. accurate comparing is close to impossible. You're in your shoes, others are in their shoes, and everyone's pain is absolutely valid. (Hope this is somewhat helpful and didn't come out wrong.)
Welcome all joining us! I'd just like to say how proud of you all I am for reaching out!
hello! ive been suffering from anxiety since i was 12 and i am hoping to get and share any support! :)
Hi, I'm Ide, and I recently finished my first year in college (in Belgium). I've been having problems with anxiety, mainly social anxiety, but sometimes anxiety in general, for about 8 years now. I'm not entirely sure what caused it, but I think my history of being bullied has at least something to do with it.
Anyway, I came here looking for support, and hopefully learn how I can deal with it in a better way.
Hi there, I'm Chelsei... I'm 17 years old, and I graduated from high school about a month ago (yay!). However, that brings a new load of anxiety into my life. I've been struggling to find a job for 6 months now, I'm worried about finances for college, and I'm worried my anxiety, depression, and seizures are just going to worsen.
Hi! I am new here as of last night. This seems like a nice place so far. I guess I can talk about my issues. I have agoraphobia/PTSD (thanks to my ex who is still stalking and harassing me) among other mental health problems, and I really have no friends except my dog because I hardly ever leave the house and if I do, my mom or other family have to drive me. This is not how I thought my life would be at 29. Anyway, feel free to talk to me. My name is Alli. Oh and I am a major Judy Garland fan lol.
when i read this i could almost not believe that itwasn't me writing it. i understand and there are many people out there who feel the same way. you are not alone :)
Thank you so much :) Hate that we have to go through this.
