Hello!
Hi, as you can probably tell, i'm a new user. I've been here before,but that might have been almost 8 years ago now haha, time sure does fly.
I'm Mina, 21 years old. I've been struggling with Depression and Social anxiety since 10 years old, and was diagnosed at 12. I left therapy many years ago, and just now started seeing a therapist again.
I'm taking antidepressants and a mood stabilizer now, i was diagnosed with BPD, after suspecting it for many years.
I've been doing well, but i still struggle with managing my emotions, and my severe social anxiety.
I enjoy most creative hobbies, art, sewing, painting, crafts, journaling, singing, etc... and i love stars<3
I'd love to make some friends here, as i'm often quite lonely, i don't really have any friends, but also struggle a lot with socializing.
Thank you for reading<3

I am inviting you to join me in the Sharing Circle chat group on 7Cups.com. 😊
Hello Mina, Coffee here 👋 22 y/o also dealing with major depression and general anxiety (with occasional panic attacks). Diagnosed a year ago, but probably experiencing symptoms since my teens. I've been in therapy and medication intermittently since then.
I really don't have any hobbies other than watching netflix and googling random topics. Yours seem pretty intersting, though 😅 perhaps you can help me find my own creative outlet. Btw, I totally stoped on your post because of the Demon Slayer cosplay (that's my fav anime). Fantastic job 👌
I'm happy to chat whenever you need a supportive ear. Glad to have you back!
I'm more than double your age and don't have social anxiety, but I've dealt with anxiety, panic, depression, and a host of other crap for years. I like to tell jokes and listen to music. I also love to spend time with my dog, and when the anxiety gets too bad I clean and rearrange everything. 🤣
Not funny considering my husband hates it and me half the time lately. I'm annoying when anxious and sick apparently.
I had a videogame hobby but am too involved and started hating it. I can't work anymore due to chronic health issues. My family is gone, and I would love to chat anytime I'm here. Maybe my old lady experience can help you in some way.
Hang in there. You have company. 😊
