Hello, I'm working through PTSD and anxiety

Hello everyone I'm also a newbie as well as being new to opening up and admitting I need help. I havent been myself for past 7 months due to coming out of a 6 year mentally, physically emotionally abusive relationship. Just as im clinging onto my last bit of sanity I have recently been told some extremely shocking and terrible news about someone who I emotional involved with. This has caused my brain to completely shut down and I'm scared I'll be stuck like this forever. I am litually unable to work, go out the house, talk, trust anyone and spend my entire day pacing up and down or staring for hours into space without even thinking also I can't eat or sleep and I know I really need help but I don't know who are what I should do to help myself as I've never experienced this before. I feel so alone and no one understands and I feel ashamed to tell anyone as they will gossip or something. (I never used to care what others think how pathetic and weak I am.

Hello I just joined, I've been having quite a lot of trouble recently and I'm hoping this can help.

Hello, I just joined a week or so ago. Just started to use some of the outlets here on the site just this past weekend. Joined to get support and advice from time to time. Moved to a new city about 3 years ago, but not made many strong connections in that time. I'm very active in the comunity already, but just not made the connections I thought I would with people here in the new area. Hoping that will change as the years roll on. I am happily married, 4 dogs, and currently with two billet sons, whom I do need advice with most as I've never been any sort of mom before, but I'm loving this and that our family is growing and will continue to do so I'm hoping if we get to continue to billet. For not having any family with the exception of my husbands family (which I do consider mine too!) this means alot that we can have a full house.

I got on this site because I have been sexually and physically abused in my past but it's not something I can talk about to anyone. It was when I was young but even today it affects me in very extensive ways. If anyone has gone through this and wants to share thier experience or advice I'd love to chat

Hello everyone. I joined last year or so, but I haven't been active. I decided to log in again, because I feel ready to start working more on myself. I've been sitting in my house for almoust 2,5 years, and going out only when I have to. It's a way of self—protection, because I can't stand the outside world for too much time. I also have lost myself, and had really hard anxiety part in my life. Now I'm trying to find myself. I've made a progress, but I'm aware that I have to take baby steps, and need time. Trying to be positive. Greetings to everyone :)

i joined because my girlfriend left me i lost my home friends and mainly i dont enjoy anything anymore.

H,i I'm Ben. Been dealing with anxiety and depression for years now. Cut almost everyone out of my life during previous really low points, and I think I'm starting to improve things but suddenly find myself really alone and isolated. Just hope I can find some people to talk to :) Very happy to help anyone else too if I can.

Hello,

I just joined 7 cups this evening. Over the past year, I've had a lot of trouble with my mind and emotions. Lately, I've been overcome with sadness and have been constantly comparing myself to others around me. I have a small support system at home so I figured I'd give 7 cups a shot.

Hi, I just got out of some really helpful intensive therapy and I want to continue and keep practicing the skills I've learned as well as learning new ones.
