Hello, all. I am brand new to the site. Stumbled upon it from a job application, actually. The more I dug into the community, the more intrigued I became. I've also started down the path to be a listener in the future.
Favorite movie? I'm not really a "favorites" kind of person, to be honest.
Nice to meet you all.
Hello, @Ramjet79
Welcome to 7cups, it's great to see you have joined and we hope you can have the best experience possible! Oo, having thoughts of becoming a listener in the future sounds cool. It's okay that you don't have a favourite, it's nice to meet you too. We wish you the very best.
Take care!
Hey, I'm Chloe, I'm 16 and I have been sufferring from stress and generalised anxiety for 6 years and performance anxiety since I was 8. I'm currently taking my GCSEs (my first one is on Tuesday) so I have been trying out new techniques to cope with the pressure of these extremely important exams.
I am taking on a huge challenge in September in that I am going to a new sixth form/college without anybody I know (I was the only person in my school who applied) and with my social anxiety settling in will be hard. I know it's going to be hard to adjust because I do not cope well with change, but after speaking to the teachers on their open evening, they all seem lovely and it feels just like my school now.
Heya, @courageousBlackberry777
Welcome to 7cups, it's lovely to meet you, Chloe and we're pleased to see you have joined!
I'm sorry to hear that you've been dealing with Generalised Anxiety for such a long time - I can understand how challenging that must be for, especially with the stress as well. I wish you the best of luck for your GCSEs! Pressure for exams are never easy and I like that you have been trying out new techniques to get you through.
I'm proud of you for signing up for this sixthform/college in a completly different school, knowing you were the only one from your school applying - that is a big achievment. I'm pleased to hear though, that through the opening evenings you have found that the teachers do seem nice. I hope when September arrives, you can have an amazing experience there. We're all here for you and hope you can have the best experience here, too!
Take care.
Hi :)

Hi. 🙂
Heyy, how're you? 
Hi, Im new this month. I switched antidepressants and had one of the hardest times in my life. I was suicidal, had severe anxiety, severely depressed and just wanted to sleep my life away but I couldnt sleep. I also lost 20 lbs. because I felt so sick I couldnt eat. I am slowly coming out of it finally feeling a little better. It would be nice to make some friends that understand how I feel and have had depression and anxiety issues as well. I have no support at home so Im looking for some elsewhere. :)

I'm sorry to hear that you have been going through and have experienced, severe anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts. I can understand how changing antidepressants can make things so much more difficult to get used to. However, I'm more than pleased to hear, even just a little bit, that you are starting to feel a little better as you're slowly coming out. Take things slowly, we're all here for you and I'm proud of you for joining here where I hope you can get the support you deserve. It sucks you don't have support at home, but you're always welcome here. We wish you the very best.
Take care!

Hi Ryker, nice to meet you! I hope you are finding some great resources and support here on 7 Cups! :)
I'm really nervous about posting here, because I don't do open human conversation very often, and I'm not sure I know how to do it! I am planning to give it a go though and hoping that I will eventually meet some people who I can make friends with.
I am struggling right now with depression and anxiety, which I've had on and off for the past 17 years, and seems to be getting worse as I get older, although I've tried so many things to feel better. Mostly I just feel that I can't do normal human life!
Apart from that I love my guinea pigs Ziggy and Ginger, and birds and animals and trees of all kinds. I love books and buy them much faster than I can read and right now my televisual delight mostly comes from rewatching StarTrek DS9 on netflix.
Thanks to all the people who have already posted on this thread, it's good to know that there are other people out there who find this sort of thing difficult too!
Hi there, @GuineaPigsofScotland
Welcome to 7cups, we're pleased to see you have joined and hope you can have an amazing experiece! It's totally okay to be nervous, and I'm proud of you for posting here. You show me your resilience by going through with it. I'm sorry to hear you are dealing with both depression and anxiety for so long . I can understand how difficult that must be for you, especailly if it seems its just getting worse.
Awh guinea pigs are so addorable. Nature in general is so lovely. Heheh buying books faster then reading them sounds cool. Thank you for sharing these interests with us! We're all here for you and wish you the very best.
Take care!
