` Not taking member chats at the moment.


Someone just like you.

Please don't substitute this with therapy or counseling. I ask for your forgiveness if I fail to help you. If you think someone else can help you better, you can browse for other amazing listeners. :)

There are certain issues that are personal, sensitive or need more attention and guidance and I don't want to disappoint you in any way due to my lack of knowledge or experience. Also, some issues can be triggering for me.

I don't take chats regarding:

- sexual issues

- parenting/maternal issues

-financial issues

-religion or spirituality

-disabilities

-Chronic health issues

- Extramarital affairs, cheating

- LGBTQ+

- Bipolar disorder

We can still talk if you just need a listening ear and I'll be here for you, with you.

Issues I'm comfortable providing support on:

- Depression

- Anxiety/Anxiety disorders

- Social anxiety

- General mental health

- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

- Self-harm support

- Loneliness

- Sleeping well

- Coping well

- 7cups is not a crisis resource. If you are in crisis (having thoughts/intentions of suicide or are currently harming yourself), please contact crisis resources here or contact emergency services if you are in an immediate medical emergency.

Let's journal together! 💛🩵
Around the World / by Yougotmyback

...See more Let's write together so that none of us feel alone in our thoughts. My first journal prompt: A letter to the rain 🌊 Since childhood, I have always loved running towards you. In wonder, in joy. I would call my mother to ask for permission to stand in the happiness you brought me, exterminating every trace of pain and misery. I would happily dance beneath the wonderful web of your raindrops, watching the incipient showers blossom into you. Sometimes, I remember simply sitting and watching you fall, creating little puddles. My heart would leap and flutter just as I would in those puddles. The tiny waves of water, calm and peaceful, carried pebbles along their path. As I grew older, thunderstorms sometimes ambushed my hopes and dreams. I cried in the dark, sitting by the window, wondering why I no longer felt the same joy in your presence. Your pitter-patter became the only sound I heard besides my own breath and heartbeat. Perhaps there was another sound too, the sound of my tears falling, the ones that mingled with yours. Maybe I did not need a human by my side; maybe I only needed you. Whenever I imagined being with someone, I pictured us wrapped in you, the two of you making me feel as though I belonged. And whenever things fell apart, I remembered you again, longing to become effulgent once more, dancing in that same joy, with that same hope. Wishing that this time I would become astute enough to belong to myself before belonging to the world, including you. May you continue to bring joy to all the little children I see splashing water on one another every monsoon near my home. And may you always bring peace to those who fall asleep to your song, reminding them that they belong.

A letter to the bird.

...See more A letter to the bird. You just flew past my eyes. You were right there. Here! “What an untrammeled life you live,” I thought to myself, sitting in my air-conditioned room. Then suddenly, I heard one of you make a different sound. Oh! You’re a locutor too, a rather good one. But why do you need to make announcements? Then I saw a cat sitting nearby, ready to pounce. I had forgotten that you live with dangers too. That wherever there is life, there is struggle. Recently, I read about chickadees and how they change the number of “dees” at the end of their calls to signal the size of a predator nearby, as if even fear has its own precise grammar in every world. I had always thought of you as free beings, soaring higher and higher without burdens. I wanted to be like you, fly like you. Then I learned of the bane you carry. The distances you travel just to survive, like everyone else. The tremendous energy it takes to shed your old feathers and grow new ones. Aren’t we all doing the same? Shedding old versions of ourselves and growing thicker skin. You become irritable too. You stop singing too, just as I do. Are we the same? Or are we both simply too emotional for this world? I heard that when some birds are kept in isolation, they pluck their own feathers and stare blankly into space. Is our stare the same? If I believe that you belong here, do I belong too? The question lingers. Hey, little birdie, you are as free as I am. Sing, but at your own pace, and when you are ready. I will be waiting for your song, the one that replays in my head: "Tweet, tweet, too." I do not think there is a schism between us, at least not the one I can find.

Symbiosis: A symphony of shared growth
Poetry / by Yougotmyback
Last post
 September 15th, 2024
...See more Symbiosis : A symphony of shared growth  In nature's lap, there are wonders  that rain, Two lives entwine, they help each other gain,  A dance of give, a dance of take,  Each move in sync, no steps that break. Not like a competition, where one must thrive  And one must fall for the other's life.  Not amensalism's silent spade,  Where one that's stable sees another fade. No predator’s quip or prey's swift flight,  No parasitic grip in the dead of night.  But a bond where both find their safe place,  Where they don’t have to search or chase. In the depths where shadows softly play,  A whale glides through, its beauty on display.  Barnacles cling, small and bold,  To the giant's skin, their stories unfold. They find a moving home  On the whale's back where they loosely roam.  They filter the water, a feast they share,  While the whale swims on, unfazed by their fare. The bee that hums from bud to flower,  Gathers sweet nectar every hour.  The flower blooms, its colors bright,  Guided by the bee's gentle flight. In the ocean's depths, a fish finds home  Within the coral's vast, bright dome.  The coral thrives, its colors spread,  As fish find refuge, in safety they're led. In life's vast web, where all belong,  Two hearts in rhythm, singing strong.  For in each bond, a truth is clear,  Togetherness casts out all fear. So, let us learn from nature's way,  Where two can glow, come what may.  Together we will thrive, hand in hand we'll go,  In symbiosis, we'll help each other grow.  Through every challenge, side by side we'll stand,  Nurturing each other in this fertile land.

25. A self reflection.
Positivity & Gratitude / by Yougotmyback

 January 16th, 2024
...See more Come as you are. *Offers a warm blanket because this is going to be long and I'd not want you to feel cold.* 25 feels like a lot. I wanted to stay 22 forever hehe.  Sometimes, you feel behind in life, desiring to be somewhere else or someone else. Trying to fix yourself in some way. But, puzzles can puzzle you.  Reminds me of a dialogue from one of my comfort movies Break ke baad, where Imran Khan says to Deepika Padukone, "Sab kuch chahti ho aur ye bhi chahti ho ki dard bhi na ho. - You want everything and still want it not to hurt."  I've been in a fight or flight mode for a long time. Barely surviving everyday. Doing things for the sake of doing them. Sometimes seeking comfort in distractions. Thinking someday I'd forget what it feels like to simply feel. Does it ever truly happen? Ask yourself and you'll know that facing oneself becomes inevitable sooner or later.  Few months back, I decided to take a break from everything. Decided to slow down, allowing myself to feel. Heal something that I didn't want to acknowledge as broken. And here I'm. With a cute dog, some books and my wonderful family and friends.  Stilll clueless about a lot of things but better. Truly better. Trying everyday to untangle the knots in my brain. The ones I thought I'd never touch. If today you feel like you're behind, I want you to know that things happened for a reason. Your growth is hidden but it is there. Your pace doesn't decide your worth or capabilities. (Even if the whole world tells you that it does.) Your flawed imperfect self is beautiful too. I know of a girl who's 23, specially abled and survived after living as a slave for 18 years of her life. And she's one of the best person out of all the people I've talked to.  If someone were to ask me today what I was doing in the past when I was struggling, I'd say I loved. A lot. I've carried you with me wherever I went. I've known how you survived that abuse, the way got through your toughest exam, the love you felt for your dad, your worries for your pet's sickness, things that made you smile or left you mad. The smooth change in your tone when something excited you. Your small eyes that you were insecure about but contained the universe within them. How cute your voice sounded when you would talk half asleep. The way you helped that little girl with her homework. How bad you felt when you hurt your friend. Those small things that made you, you. I've carried your stories and scars, and I regret nothing.  If there's something I would like my teenage self to know, then it would be that her love mattered. She was enough and loving others was never a crime she should have punished herself for. Today, I'm proud of her for not losing that part of her on days she didn't receive the same. On days she felt like a giver and took responsibility for the people she loved - wanting to fix everyone, patch every wound. On days she forgot to wipe her own tears but remembered to do it for everyone else.  We always swam in the deep waters, didn't we? :) But then where did it go wrong?  Expectations. So high that she was chasing something that was never ending anytime soon. A wish to be a person who never hurts. Who never takes a wrong step.  Today, I'm not trying to do everything perfectly. Just feeling the process.The good parts of this growth and the uncomfortable ones. Just doing things without making them look like a masterpiece.  Because, they already are.  Like you, yourself. :) Perhaps, that love was meant to be flawed. My favorite song was intended to include the sound of the dog's sneeze. The card I crafted for my aunt was destined to go bad when all I desired was a finishing touch. I had to recieve a bad grade for studying Chemistry instead of Biology because I thought I could fix the former.  Those small attempts mattered.  I'm learning my lessons. As I've recited to myself every day for the past few years, "Lessons in life will be repeated until they're learned." Someone recently told me to look at my steps like that of a child. What would you say to a child who's learning to write and writes something imperfectly? Would you punish the child or teach with love? That's where the answer lies. I'm learning to walk again. Baby steps everyday. And I hope you forgive yourself and let your inner child show up. The world is a scary place. Don't keep yourself scared of you in order to protect yourself. Make yourself your home. Hold that light in your own hand. As always.  Let this be the reminder for you and me. I'm thankful to the people who made it this far with me. I'm proud of you, too! And I appreciate your presence , strength and patience. You've made the world warmer for me. Sometimes, I wished to soften up a little and you showed up. With the trust that I didn't have for myself. Thank you for being you. ✨ "Zendagi migzara - life goes on."
