I completely understand how you're feeling. If you haven't yet, I found telling people around me that I have anxiety was helpful, so people could understand why I didn't want to go to crowded areas or out with new people. Plus venting your feelings on here is a great way to releive some stress!

@Melancholia2000 It sounds like you're feeling isolated and alone. You came to the right place. You can chat with a listener at any time, participate in group discussions or just post in threads. You are not alone here. Welcome.

I know how you feel. You are not alone. I can really relate to how you feel. Leaving my house gives me horrible anxiety, i hate having to go anywhere and no one understands why. 7 cups has really helped me realize Im not alone, there are others who experience everything I do and mostly there are people who understand. Having others who understand helps more than anything else. Dont be afraid to talk to a listener and other members on here. Participate in the forums, in guided discussions and in group chats everyone has helped me.

Nice know ppl can relate

It takes baby steps. First find out what can calm you down when your feeling anxious. I have a lavender sent oil that helps me. I always have gum and water with me as well. Don't commit to anything intially. Do things on your own terms. That way you can back out and return home when you feel like it. That helps me knowing I have that power. It's all about being in control of your own self.
