Starting out
To be honest I'm a bit anxious be here. I am stuck in the same routine of existing. I'm reaching out because I need help. My anxiety keeps me home bound and I have cut off all my friends and haven't spoke to them in about two years. I pretend that everything is okay and I just am having a hard time breathing. Im riddled with panic attacks and haven't had a decent night sleep in awhile. I think I just needed to find comfort someone is there listening. I haven't been to therapy in awhile because I am literally a prisoner in my own home. I'm afraid to leave.

Hey there! I understand being anxious to be here. Especially, making your own post. Anxiety can make a lot of things like that difficult. As someone who grew up homeschooled, I can definitely relate to you in some of these aspects. Getting back out there after being closed off for so long can be hard.
But, I hope you know this is a very safe and understanding place. With many people who can relate and empathize with you. Go at your own pace and know we are here for you. Welcome, it is very lovely to have you here. <3 💜

@Derekfan7695 so you're a fan of me huh (name's derek but i go by dj) ;)
@Anxietysprisoner i deal with the same crap it sucks BUT i know i have the strength and power to control my feelings not the other way around and so do you....keep fighting and eventually you'll win
@Anxietysprisoner i do teletherapy and it helps big time cuz i'm a homebody too and don't like to leave the house unless it's getting dark or is dark out....try going outside for a few min after it's dark and see if that doesn't help a bit

Hi! Firstly, you have done a great thing by opening up about your worries and concerns. I remember a period I had in my life where I couldn't get a good night's sleep either, for months on end, and it's safe to say that it did cause me a lot of anxiety and stress.
Just remember - the 7cups community is here to help comfort you in this difficult time :)
@Anxietysprisoner there’s a show called Joe Pera Talks With You that deals with a lot of anxiety issues in a realistic manner. If you don’t mind a little weirdness in between, you should check it out.
