Bio

Guy with chronic conditions in late middle age, in northeast Florida(stan). I was first Dx'd with low-grade depression in my mid-teens, & have had episodes ever since. I was an artist for most of my life...sometimes I still am. If you want to know anything more than that, you'll have to ask.

...See more ...& thought of us. Thought of myself, & everyone in this little community of ours. That was the first thing that came to mind when I reached the final seconds of this song [https://youtu.be/MRvn0NNwHmA?si=sbMHA4FzKaXDSqWf]. Give it a listen, folks. It's quite relatable, is it not?

...See more We all have reasons for being on/in Cups-Land. For us members those reasons are almost always bad to horrible--the more you read in the forums & the more you hang out in the chat rooms, the more you know this truth. I am no exception. I got to thinking about it, & came to the following: Are you here because you decided to join 7Cups, or are you here because your problems brought you here? That is, did you make a choice or was it your fate to wind up on the site? Is human agency real or is it an illusion held by bipedal organisms influenced by environment & heredity? I lean toward the 2nd answer, even though it feels like we make our own decisions. What do you think? Please explain your answer as best you can.

...See more Here it is, @purpleTree4652...our thread. Feel free to say what you like in here. I cannot guarantee I'll have solutions for all your problems, but I can probably come up with a few. If I can't then I will try not to sound like a Listener-bot ("I hear you...you are not alone...I hear you...) 🤖 Also, please don't feel like you have to get here every day or regularly. We both know you have a busy life; these days I have stuff on my plate too. I probably won't get on here every day either. When that happens, just take it easy. If you post something here & I don't get to it for a few days, it has nothing to do with you...most likely I'm either in bed with flare-ups, or absorbed in a project. Or else we're both bummed out at the same time. 😜 Now then...I have an appointment in a few hours, after the sun rises. I must sleep, somehow...will never get used to this world, run by day people.
How do I wipe convos with Noni from chat?

...See more Would've posted this in a more appropriate forum, but I couldn't find one. I don't like to talk to bots. Noni pops up in my available chats; it's been that way for a few months now. How do I fix that? Frankly I only talked to Noni once, & don't want to anymore.
Has anyone here ever dealt with Internet addiction?

...See more I've had it a couple times, kicked it myself each time with abstinence from a week to over a month. It was difficult for the first two to three days, then got easier after that... Now I'm wondering if I'm falling into it again. What is different this time is that I'm not on "social media" (note the quotes). I have no use for Instaspam. Only reason I can think of for returning to Fakeb00k is for business purposes, which I don't have at the moment. The only online place I go regularly is...here. Yep, 7Cups. A place where I have found a couple friends, started a blog, & found an outlet for my creativity. But lately I've been spending a lot of time in CupsLand. Maybe too much, I dunno... If it's a problem, then how do I find support in a community that I'm spending too much time in?
