Let us know more about you, what brings you to 7 Cups! We are glad you are here!
Hello My name is gary. And I have issues with anxiety and depression and I need help.
@raspberryCup9811 welcome to 7 cups, Gary! I hope you can find the help and comfort you're looking for here!
Hello there, my name is Chiara, I'm 16 years old and I am from Italy. I suffer of generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, panic attacks disorder and OCD. I have always known that I had something that wasn't very "normal", finally I know it.I'm searching someone who can understand me, because I feel so alone.
Hello, it's nice to meet you :) I am also 16 and I have those same problems. I was diagnosed with OCD when I was six years old, and the obsessions/compulsions have diminished, but the anxiety and depression are still prevalent. I have social anxiety too and as a result I don't have many friends. You are not alone. There is a great book called "Imp of the Mind". It focuses on OCD and it talks about the kinds of things people with OCD deal with and how to fight it. It helped my OCD a great deal and it could help you too. I recommend you try it :) If nothing else, it will remind you that you're not alone.
Hi My name is Maurisa, and I am dealing with anxiety within my life and my relationship hoping 7 Cups can help me figure out how to deal with this
Hi everyone, Im Sole and new to this just joined yesterday. I has terrible vertigo 3 years ago and thats when it all changed for me. My life, my body, my mind; everything changed. Ive developed anxiety and Ive also had a few panic attacks not major really but nevertheless hard. Havent been able to get much help from doctors so basically Ive been getting through it on my own. I feel tired and need some support.
I just discovered 7 cups...first time here and wanted to say "hello". I've struggled with depression and anxiety since I was a teenager. I'm in my fourties and continue to struggle. I'm constantly worrying and very hard on myself and want to change that.
Hi everyone! my name is leah and i am part of the anxiety support team! being part of this team is very special to me because i have suffered with anxiety for 14 years (I am 17 years old) so i really know how hard anxiety is and how misunderstood people with anxiety are. I am here to help fellow anxiety sufferers the best i can and try to make a difference. thanks guys!
Hi everyone, I'm Ant. I recently went through a breakup and started a new job, and just dealing with the anxiety of the situation. I am a shy introvert and can get feeling a bit lonely at times. I am currently seeing a counselor, and taking 12mg of Zoloft to help cope. I am doing everything I can to keep calm and relaxed. My goal is to eventually help others when I am able!
Hi everyone, I'm Nol. I'm not quite sure how this site works yet and I'm pretty shy and pretty awful with words, but I'm here to try! I've been having issues controlling what I used to call "angry heart strings" but I now understand what is actually anxiety. There is so much more to it than that, I don't really know where to start. I guess I'm terrified of letting my emotions get the best of me, or effect my relationship with my wonderful boyfriend, Bryan. He gave me the perfect life, and I still find myself so unbearably sad. I don't know how to tell him my feelings without making him feel guilty, even if none of it is his fault.
Hi Nol! :) I'm new here. I think you're better with words than you think. I also have a wonderful boyfriend and similar worries. He wants me to open up more to him, but I don't want him to think of me differently or feel depressed because of me. Thanks for sharing your story. It's nice to know we're not alone :)
Hi everyone, I am new to this community. Hope to get some useful information for myself to help my users. :) Have a nice day
Hi I am new here, I hope to learn from others.
Hello everyone :) I am a 16 year old girl and I was diagnosed with OCD when I was six, but lately it's been anxiety, depression and self-esteem issues that have troubled me. I am troubled by memories from my childhood and early teen years that cause me excessive guilt. My mom says the things I feel guilt over were normal behavior, but I can't help but think that I'm a bad person because of these memories. Lately, I've been feeling unintelligent and insecure as a result. I feel like I'm not good enough for my incredibly smart boyfriend and I worry he'll break up with me to be with someone smarter. I also have body image issues, even though people tell me I'm pretty. No matter how much reassurance I receive from my peers, I can't help feeling incompetent. I hope to help others and get help myself.
Hi friend! I'm sorry you've been in so much stress.
It's great that you're staying strong, though! AndI love that smile in your post. ^.^
Thank you for reaching out by coming here. You're very brave, no doubt.
I hope you find that others are able to help you! Never give up, you deserve as such. (:
