A message from a two-year old account I'd forgotten about.
Hello, 7cuppers. As noted in the title, I forgot I even had this account until I tried to create a new one, so I may as well make the most of it.
Now, I usually make my introductions pretty elaborate (maybe a little too much), but not this time. I just want to try to get settled in first.
If you need a starting point, I'll say that I want to work on understanding and reducing my anxiety. I'm starting to realize that it's holding me back too much and making me worry way too much.
There are a lot of other things I want to work on, such as being more focused, creating more stuff, and talking with other people more, but I want to try to take things one step at a time... even though I don't really know what those steps are yet.
@Jay4136 Welcome! Or...welcome back? Not sure. :)

Sorry this is a bit late, but thanks for the welcome. As I say, I'm trying to get used to this place, as that's bound to be better than forcing it.
@Jay4136 Hello Jay, welcome back. Like you, I opened an account on 7cups 2 years ago as well. Only came back again few days ago. I want to work on reducing my stress and perhaps a bit of anxiety too. I'm trying to figure it out myself as well, though I've come to a point where I think if I don't start doing something about this, my mental health will eventually suffer. So, that's why I'm here again.

Yes I get that sometimes... that feeling of being too comfortable with one's anxiety/stress, or something to that effect.
Anyway, thanks for the welcome. Hope we both get something out of this place.
Yeah, I relate. I just re-started 7cups a couple weeks ago, after too long of a break. It's been getting me thru some difficult days this month. I deal with depression, anxiety, & ptsd, and I really don't react well to stress! Having a few more positive voices in my life & mental health activities to do a little bit every day really helps. Good luck!
