Hi, I’m here on 7Cups since long and gone thru three times sevre anxiety and depression and recovered. Main plus point is your support system Specialy your own family and relatives plus friends. I came out after long paining struggles of 3-4 years but this time I lost my real family support, few gone back upstairs and some very closed one disconnected due worldly reasons and disconnected which is very shocking and became triggers and damaging my mindset. I tried apologize begged them to forget and forgive, even I don’t know my fault but they got stubborn n not reconnected and me and my wife, aged, handicap and physicaly and mantaly sick were disconnected by our elderson to whine we loved whoke life till now and never stop loving him but this became big trigger and im suffering badly. I spent last one month in Behavioural hospital and took five sessions of Electro Compulsive therapies ECT for my Major DipresivevDisorder MDD n released yesterday. So far no change noticed so I wants to discuss and share my ECT experience and learn others experience in the group. I wants to get recovered and better soon as I can’t live like this anymore. It’s frustrating and hurting every moment. Hope to have chance to join Chat groups to get helps and tools to cope such pains from participants. Best of luck

I'm really sorry for what you have gone through :( it's not at all easy to not have a support system any longer, which makes it very much harder to recover. thank you for sharing your experiences with us, and i very much hope you get the chance to find even a tiny form of support here💚

@Laura

Hello

I joined this group because I've been having a lot of anxiety that has been making my everyday life, feeling of stability, and overall health worse. People have depended on me for a long time. I have built my profession on helping people, remaining organized, and keeping my cool even when things are tough. But with time, the stress and problems that keep coming up have started to really affect me, both psychologically and physically.

When I'm anxious, I often worry all the time, can't rest, and feel like I'm always on edge. Even though I know I'm safe, it can make it hard for me to sleep, focus, and feel peaceful. Sometimes I feel like I'm carrying too much emotional weight, and it's hard to tell what's happening right now.

I am here because I want to get better. I want to feel calm, stable, and sure of myself again. I also want to be in a place where I don't have to pretend to be strong all the time and where I can talk honestly with others who know what it's like to be anxious. I want to learn better methods to deal with things, and I hope that in the future I will be able to help others heal as well.

Thanks for letting me be here.

I'm really sorry to hear about your struggles, jersey :( I know the weight of anxiety and how it can affect us in multiple ways, that life feels heavier and it gets hard for us to function. The fight and flight mode we experience, and how our body might not feel safe even in a safe situation can make us irritated.
I'm glad you're taking tiny steps towards feeling better, and I truly hope this place becomes a place where you can be your true self.
happy to have you here with us, welcome💚

Hi I am a highschool student in grade 11. I've been having a lot of thoughts about time passing by how hard the future will be for me and how people i love won't be here with me one day. I've been feeling guilty of not spending time with people I love ever since my grandma died. She always cared for me and always prayed to God to protect me and keep me safe while I never even said thank you or tried to spend time with her, when we was in the hospital before she died i never even prayed for her so I've been feeling a lot of regret and guilt because of that. I recently found out that even while she was on her deathbed she continued praying for me and my family to grow and be blessed and be good followers of Jesus Christ... So that made me start to regret and think about if in the future when I have to grow my family won't always be with me. Because of that I've been worrying about not spending time with the people I love and not spending and enjoying those moments perfectly. And now I've also been thinking about what happens after they did how will I live my life and what is after death. I am a strong believer in Christianity so I believe that there's heaven but I am still worrying and scared. I am excited to be a part of this community so I can deal with my problems and help others too!

@creativeEyes6809 you were too young to know what to do. Go easy on yourself. Im sure she felt loved by you. She knew you were a child. You may feel grown up but I assure you that your grandma thought of you as a child and loved you. And loves you.

Hi

I don't know what to say about myself, but I'd like to say that I was afraid of going insane, so I came here to try healing. But so far, I don't understand anything, though everyone is thankful. I'll give it more time and hope to find myself. I suffer from social anxiety and borderline personality disorder to some extent—I'm not sure—but I have all the symptoms. I also struggle with anxiety, fear, and constant insecurity. I have family issues. I always try to persevere because I want to succeed, but every time I lose myself and go back to square one. I don't think life is real; it hurts me all the time, and I'm so scared. I wish I could escape it. I don't know the meaning of life, and sometimes I think people aren't real.

Hi, My name is Lina, I'm from Pakistan

I've never used 7 cups before, I'm a sophomore in high school.

I used to be really good at school, straight A's, everything was easy, but I've started failing.

I've wasted the opportunity my parents worked so hard to give me, I'm going to an extremely expensive school, and my future is over. I needed direct entry into med, but with my GPA and grades, that won't be a possibility anymore. I don't meet the prereqs I need for my classes next year, and I feel so, so, so helpless. It's my fault; I should have tried harder and done more, but I kept avoiding it. My parents will pull me out of this school if they find out, but more than that, I can't see the disappointment and anger on their faces.
