New To The Anxiety Support Community? Introduce Yourself Here!

Hello. I'm Kennedy. I have struggled with GAD and possible social phobia my entire life. I also have spastic diplegia, which makes things worse because I don't know how I'll function as an adult.

Hi, everyone! Like many people here I've struggled with anxiety and depression for as long as I can remember. I'm doing my best to understand my issues and look after myself physically and mentally, but of course some days are better than others. This seems like a great community, and I'm really excited to be a part of it. :)

Hello everyone! I joined 2 weeks ago, but never introduced myself, so here I am! I'm Macy and I struggle with Anxiety and panic attacks, but I'm getting better and I love helping others who are going through the same thing. <3

Hi peoples! Like all of you I struggle with anxiety. I just recently joined 7 Cups, and so far it's been really helpful. Thank you all so much for all the support I've received so far. You are the best. My panic attacks have been few and far between, and I feel like my life is moving forward. Love you all!

Hi I'm Kat. I'm new. I struggle with anxiety. A few weeks ago I walked around for days scared that something was going to fall on my head and kill me. But for the most part I just go about my day feeling as if there's always something more I should be doing but not quite being able to put my finger on it. It weighs me down sometimes.

Hello, I'm Tara. For the past 1 and a half years I have had anxiety. I visited a psychologist, and it helped a little, but not much. Sometimes I feel hopeless and I give up, thinking that I will spend my whole life dwelling on the fact that I'm afraid; I'm afraid to live the brave and daring life. I'm afraid to try new things. I'm afraid of my own anxiety. I'm afraid of who I am. I'm afraid of myself.

Hi. I was on an Rx for depression for 10+ years. I started read this about the long term side effects and decided to get off that Rx. I worked with a psychiatric nurse to wean off over the course of six months. Once I was off it, I found out I either developed anxiety as a long term side effect of being on that Rx, or just developed anxiety in general and it had been masked by the Rx. I've tried talk therapy with a counselor and a few different Rx to figure this out. Right now, I'm doing pretty well, with the occasional flare up. These flare ups were pretty consistently the same time every month, and I was diagnosed with Pre Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder, which is like PMS x 100. Knowing this, I'm able to be more prepared every month, but it's very hard for my family and friends, and obviously for me. The three weeks a month I'm not freaking out, I can be supportive of others going through a bad day/week/month/life. One week a month I need support. Let's support each other in pushing this giant bolder called anxiety up the hill called life. The more support we receive from others, the easier our bolder burden is to bear.
