Hello! I'm a fourteen year old, and I have four siblings and three parents. I'm the eldest, and I'm quite lonely.
My entire life I've been anxiety riddled, but I'm not sure if the overthinking comes with the territory. It hurts to think most of the time to be completely honest.

@Laura
Im 69 years old and I have anxiety and panic attacks that I have been dealing with for a long time. I just feel like I can not control it anymore. I will be fine one day and the next I can wake up with anxiety without even having a trigger . I really just need to be able to talk to people who understand why this is taking over my life.
@warmheartedprayers
I understand your situation, and i think a lot of the people in this community do too. It's tiring and it's annoying. I do hope you get some support here to make you feel less alone. We're rooting for you💚

Hello! My name is Haley. 🌻 I am a grad student and I am here to serve as an active listener!
I have experienced personal anxiety, trauma, and a multitude of challenges in my life, so I hope to turn those hardships into positives. I think my experiences have given me a unique perspective and ability to relate to others, and help them through difficult situations. In times of distress, the most important thing is feeling heard, and supported, and that's what I want to do for others!
So happy to be here as a part of the positive and healing community that 7cups is! 💖
@herewithhaley
I'm glad we have such supportive listeners. Using your own experiences as a way to give back to others is very kind of you, haley💚
Yes anxiety is problomatic and can be eased with mind set, it badly effect our physical condition and creating havoc by censoring every part of the body b creat pains. Which divert our attention towards the suffering of pains and creating havoc weakness and helplessness in our mind and we start giving up n trapped in spider web and more we try get out more it squeeze us.
Please take professional help and learn coping skills and medication managements n try to be busy with your loved once and dont isolate or create loneliness. Share all what you feel and try one step at a time to challenge your Nagative thoughts. It may help u ease your pain. Your Psychiatrist n therepist will be great help to you.
Best of luck k
@considerateChestnut4179
thank you for the suggestions, chestnut. It can definitely help to ask for help! and, the effects anxiety have on our body and mind can certainly be irritating and disrupt our daily life.
hi, lately my anxiety has gotten bad, i knew i was kind of an anxious person but since last year it's just hard, i'm not diagnosed though. when something happens, like lets say someone lets me down, like cancels a plan or when i can't figure something important, i get something kind of an anxiety attack or an episode, i sometimes get scared of myself, one time it was so bad that i started hitting myself, all this anxiety has resulted to self harm, my family doesn't take mental health seriously so i can't get the help i need for now, i'm trying to understand myself and maybe be in control but it's so hard, it's ruining my life, i spiral over the smallest things, i feel so horrible about myself and i don't know if i'll ever get better, i'm only 17 so there's not much i can do to help myself. i feel as if i'll hit a dark place if i don't get "better" i have so much trauma and it all resulted to so many bad things in my life, so much is wrong with me but i can't do anything i feel helpless, like it's taking over my life and i can't make it stop.
@mireyah
I hear you, mireyah. with anxiety, panic episodes and trauma, it's very hard to get better or feel better on your own. especially when the environment isn't very supportive of us. I'm cheering on you for the efforts you've made, and have come this far. You're more than welcome to explore the community. and please let us know if we can help out in any way💚
@Laura
hi!!
im 14 and i live in the U.S.
i struggle with bad anxiety / panic attacks and they affect quite a bit of the things i do.
my anxiety has ruined friendships and even has got me in trouble with my parents. it stops me from doing things that i might enjoy too.
my panic attacks happen a lot at school and they are really embarrassing. they also scare me. but they are really embarrassing because it feels like i’m asking for attention but i’m not.
so yea, that’s me! besides this, i like to read and write poetry, i play basketball and i like to draw too.
thank you for reading about me!!
also if anyone has any tips or tricks to help with my anxiety and panic attacks, please please please please please share
@girlonline1816
helloo! welcome to cups!
it was a pleasure reading about you, you have quite some fun hobbies there! what genre do you usually read?
having a panic attack is not asking for attention, and we barely have control over it. i'm really sorry it's been happening, and about your experiences about anxiety and how much it has affected you (parents, friendships, etc)
