Depression-social anxiety
It’s very hard for me to talk about my feelings. Especially since I get very anxious around people. I just feel so extremely lonely. Everyday feels like a challenge to me- at school I mean. My social anxiety have gotten worse the past two years and i get nervous just walking through the hallways. I started to feel depressed this year and it got to the point where I couldn’t bring myself to go to school. I guess I’be felt depressed for a long time but I used to kind off ignore it? I still am but now I feel more numb then sad. I just don’t know how to be myself around people or not get nervous. I can’t even ask for help. I’m just waiting for someone to notice that I’m not okay at all.

Hi Anonymous, and thank you for your share - I know it was extremely hard to share your experiences and that should be praised. Depression with Anxiety is really overwhelming - you feel sad and want support but feel too anxious to ask for it. And allowing yourself to feel vulnerable can be scary in and of itself. However, waiting and hoping someone will notice can be even more painful. It was hard for me to reach out for help at first, terrifying. But in the end, I'm so glad I asked for what I needed. I hope that you are able to continue reaching out on 7 Cups and then eventually in your life outside of 7Cups. You've already taken the first step by expressing your feelings here - that was brave! Sending you support and wishing you the best 💜
