On the path to becoming a therapist thanks to my former 7 Cups therapist
7 Cups Online Therapy / by GingerMC
Last post
 April 2nd, 2025
...See more 6 years ago today my very first therapist left 7 Cups. I was devastated at the time as I did love her so much (and still do). Today I am beginning the long journey towards being a therapist as she has really inspired me. She was a genuinely good person and people like her in this world are rare. At some point in time I realized that maybe in order to have a good person like her in my life again I should be one myself- hence my therapist dream began. It will take years and who knows how long I will get there but the important thing is that I am at least trying to achieve this dream!! 🙏🏼😉

Mother currently in hospital for lung infection! I am terrified!

...See more Mother currently in hospital for lung infection! I am terrified!  So my mother has been suffering from a lung infection since last Sunday. She called the paramedics because she had shortness of breath and high fever. Her heart was ok then but there was something abnormal in her lung. She did some exams and found she had an infection. She consulted a doctor who merely suggested Chinese medicine and accupuncture! -.-  Now she has been in the hospital since yesterday and it has spread to her heart. It’s inflammation. They don’t know the exact cause yet but they think it’s a bacterial infection so she’s on antibiotics.  She’s not too bad but her breathing isn’t too great! I am absolutely terrified! She is only 73 but still!! I am already preparing myself for the worst!! Sure she messaged me a lot today which is a good sign, but I don’t want to be stuck in hope!  And also, she lives in Brazil. The south which is more developed and richer but still, the system can be crazy which surely doesn’t help! I live in a different country!

Fear of parents dying

...See more Hey guys. I thought I’d express one of my recent fears. Ever since my father died I have had significant anxiety over my mother dying. I was terrified of her suffering from that broken heart syndrome months after my father died. Months have passed and she is still here thankfully, though the worries have still persisted. She recently had an episode where her blood pressure temporarily dropped to 75/43 hg (probably from standing too much and my anxiety went through the roof. She’s ok now, though I am still recovering from that anxiety.

2 years since my therapist left and I still miss her

...See more Well, it’s officially 2 years since my previous therapist left 7 Cups. And though there are still many great things about 7 Cups, it just isn’t the same without my previous therapist!! 😢 She had to leave because her new job as a university professor was taking too much of her time and as a result she couldn’t be as available. And even if I understood her reasons for leaving, she still left a big hole in my heart. And though it’s been 2 years, my experience on Cups just isn’t the same without her!! 💔 She was practically my guardian angel and I always felt safe with her. No she may not have been an OCD specialist (I strongly suspect I have it) but at least she was able to help me through anything! And yes, I am seeing a new therapist in person at the moment, but this therapist is just not the same!!! I like her, don’t get me wrong, but the special connection that I had with my 7 Cups therapist just isn’t there!! She just doesn’t have the same special qualities that my 7 Cups therapist did and sometimes that’s really hard and frustrating! 😭 I used to get crying spells every time I was reminded of her, and sometimes thinking about her makes me cry. And yes, I am more used to her absence, but that doesn’t mean I don’t still miss her and hope that one day I will randomly bump into her or something. I just wish I could chat to her again. 😭😢 Pella Weisman ( aka @PellaWeismanLMFT) will always be in my heart!! ❤️
