So hi everyone! I'm Briana, I'm 17 and a listener here. I've got social anxiety and I'm bipolar. I just wanted to let you all know that you're absolutely awesome and you can do this. Anxiety in any form makes life a lot harder, but it can also make you a lot more tough. I'll probably lurk around here from time to time and try to cheer people up c: Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend! <3

Hey everyone! ! =)

So I'm 30 and have been dealing with social anxiety disorder since I was 13. Every day is a struggle. I believe strongly in strengths based inventions and making people see the good in them. I blush a deep red when in front if others but I love to be around people so it's truly difficult. My job has helped me big time this year. I am wondering what others have tried. What works? I am interested in meeting new people. So hope to hear your thoughts! =)

hi im sophie, im 16 and from canada. i think i have some sort of anxiety but im too scared to tell anyone in my life about it so i dont know if im just using that term loosely. i dont know what else to say so there. hey everyone

Hey :) I'm Cassi. I've struggled with emetaphobia (fear of vomiting) for almost over 10 years :( I also have a generalized anxiety disorder, which just started to make its appearance in recent years. I've also dealt with slight OCD and a bit of depression from time to time. I get panic attacks pretty frequently, especially during certain times of the month. I haven't seen anybody else with my phobia on this website (yet), but I'm really hoping I can talk to some people who understand what that phobia is like-or just talking to people in general!

I decided to use alternative medicine to try to fix my anxiety, because I don't really want to be hooked on medication. But lately I've been re-considering a lot. :( Anxiety is such a tough thing to go through, and even harder to understand. I feel like you can't understand it unless you've had it! Ok, Sorry for the essay XD

Good Morning,

My name is Rebecca. I suffer from GAD as well as panic attacks. I am doing well in my career, have a great mentor, and recently married to the most wonderful and supportive man in the world. You would think I would be happy and content but I struggle to remain positive. My thoughts continuously play the highlight real of my embarrassing moments and mistakes. Even if I have had a 99.999% successful day I will remember the one thing that went wrong. I struggle to find friends as I am a very tenacious young woman that is usually regarded as a "bitch" by others. I'm really not a bitch and it hurts to feel so alone.

Hi all. I suffer with anxiety and infrequent panic attacks. I have always been shy and have found it hard to cope in social situations, especially the lead up to them. Lately my panic attacks have been more regular and seem to happen more at night time. Im not really sure why this is. I always feel very tense and find it very hard to completely relax. I suffered post natal depression after my second and third child, untreated as I was too embarrassed to tell anyone how I was feeling. It has pretty much disappeared now, but I still feel down every now and then. Glad I found this place as I just find it hard to talk to anyone about it all.

Hey! I deal with ADD, post traumatic stress disorder, and anxiety. I have a hard time talking to people, mostly because I fear rejection or making someone angry. I am in my first year of college and am in the marching band playing flute/piccolo.

Hi there. I used to suffer from panic attacks fueled by what I believe was separation anxiety, quite recently. They've stopped; the anxiety hasn't, however. I've been a listener here for about a month now, with a strong preference for cases of anxiety. This site has helped me a lot.

Hello! I'm Ciph0r and I've come back to 7cups to get on a proper path to recovery. I'm currently dealing OCD (Pure O) and GAD. ;w; It'll be nice to meet people who can relate to me? I dunno. I don't really know how to introduce myself, lmao sorry.
