Joined 7Cups Community in May' 2018? Say "Hello" and introduce yourself here!!

I have always struggled with anxiety, im on medications, but the idea of therapy frightens me. Im an extremely empathetic person and i am very goo at reading face. Unfortunately this leads to manipulation and lying to those around me. Ive been getting better at being honest, but when i get too scared lying is my default. Happens less when i cant see a persons face.

I joined here to learn from people and also to know how to deal with such cases in the future :)

Hello Im Rae

After traveling far along my own recovery/wellness journey I am at a place where I want to help others. I have my certification in peer support in Pennsylvania. But, I have recently moved to Maryland and this state does not view the course I took as accredited. I wont be in this state for very long so I joined as a way to fullfil that desire to help others. Im hoping to continue even after I move again and can resume my work as a peer support specialist. I believe this will be a good way to keep my skills sharp!

Hi I'm Danielle, I sufffer from Axinety ans stress and trama. I am very shy.

HI I am Lexi I joined 7 Cups because home life is not good at all, and I am falling apart, and I needed an outlet and some help with the stress anxiety depression and coping mechanisms.

Hi. I am very new. I'm just learning the ropes. Anyone have any tips?

Hi, I'm Shami.

I knew this page when I was browsing Tumblr in the tendencies about depression because I'm not feeling very well. I have been suffering from depression, anxiety, emotional crises since I was 15 years old, but they had been "controlled" until exactly this year. Now I am 22 years old and I feel that my life doesn't work, everything I do to get ahead has not worked, I feel useless. I have also felt lonely and rejected. Nobody can understand me, some people have told me that it is because I stopped using my antidepressant pills, however, I just want to feel that I'm worth loving and being happy without depending on antidepressants. I consider that they are only an illusion and do not help me in anything other than hiding the situation. I don't know what to do. I feel insecure about life, misunderstood and discouraged.

Excuse me for my bad English. I'm from Mexico and unfortunately I don't know help pages like these in my country.

Thank you

Hi Im Aj,

I have trouble dealing with anxiety! It usually has to do with the choices I make and doubting if they are the right ones.

Also, Im very good at having wayyyy to many things to do, I just dont say no, and this gets my very anxious because I usually dont finish one to start another. I guess I want to learn to no be hard with myself...make a priorty list and stick to it with no worries of what I left out! I want freedom from my anxiety!!

Hey , i'm not sure what's wrong with me but i'm sure that there's something wrong with me , i daydream all the time , and i can barely focus because of it , what i do know though is that i have trust issues and they bother , i don't seem to enjoy what most people around me enjoy and i don't know if that's a good thing or not , i want to see a therapist so bad , but i can't , to sum it up honestly i'm just tired of being like this , i'm done . I hope i can get better .

Hi I'm Fede,

I'm new here, I'm not very good with words but I hope to find some help here. At this moment I'm struggling with finding the right university for me, what I want to do, and what makes me happy. But mostly I struggle with self worth, I feel like I can empathize with other's problems, and help them, but with mine I feel paralyzed, and all I do is just stend and watch.

Thanks for reading
