Hello … @jhfjfrella, @juleswil, @rosezey!
My name is Tom, and I saw your messages all at the same time on the anxiety support forum.
I created this thread so that the 3 of you can work together to support each other through your anxieties. Even though I am not a therapist or an expert, I have dealt with anxieties before, and I have some suggestions—but I think if you share some ideas with each other, first, and describe your anxieties, that may be a better start to this process.
I will check back tonight or tomorrow to see if anyone is interested in trying this method of support.
Thank you.

Hello all: @jhfjfrella @juleswil @rosezey
Just sending out a reminder that we are stronger together if we support each other in overcoming our challenges with anxiety.
A few days ago, when I was browsing the anxiety forum, I happened to see all of your posts together, which is why I was inspired to reach out to you:
From jhfjfrella: https://www.7cups.com/forum/anxiety/General_2428/H_362253/
From juleswil: https://www.7cups.com/forum/anxiety/Anxiety_2560/icantsleep_362186/
From rosezey: https://www.7cups.com/forum/anxiety/General_2428/Whyme_362254/
And look at what I found today when I went on the forum! I saw this idea:
Anxiety Coping: The 5-4-3-2-1 Method … https://www.7cups.com/forum/anxiety/General_2428/AnxietyCopingThe54321Method_362443/
If you all did this together, and shared what the experience was like, I see that as being a much more beneficial process compared to doing it alone. Also, I didn't read through all of your threads, but I think people have suggested different ideas to you … and as a group you can try each of those ideas together discussing how well they worked (or not).
The Pen Pal forum allows us more privacy than other forums because it is widely understood by the 7cups community that conversations are meant to be viewed and shared by only the people who are named in the thread. Therefore, you won't have random people disrupting your discussion.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
(After a final reminder this coming weekend, I will be moving on and won’t disrupt your notifications any longer. But I’m sure we’ll meet again in other threads!)
@FaithfulScout I use that method sometimes for less severe anxiety, it's a good distraction :)
@juleswil
Thanks so much for your input! I’ve never used the 5-4-3-2-1 method before, but it seemed like a good idea … and it is really helpful to have personal recommendations, Do you know what I mean?
This is why, I will go back to the thread and click on the heart to “Upvote” the post:
This is one way we make contributions to help each other! Thank you, again for responding ☺️
Thank you

Hi Everyone!
If you are still interested in trying to reduce your anxiety by using this group thread, please reply to this message … and I will communicate here on Thursday September 4th, sometime after 6pm EDT in the U.S. with next steps 🙂
I’m sorry I didn’t reply to this on Thursday night (I was occupied with doctors' appointments this week), and since I don’t see any other replies, I will end here as well. I appreciate you considering this idea and hope we can connect again along the way 🙂
