Hi everyone, I'm quite new to being a Listener here at 7 cups and, as well as my usual life commitments of family, friends etc, I'm committed to becoming as useful a Listener as possible and learning as much as I can.
@ListeningKaty
Welcome to our team Katy . Those are great commitments! Never forget we are here for you if you need any support as a member (if you have created a member account) or as a listener 
.
@amiablePeace77 many thanks 😊
@ListeningKaty
Welcome.
@95969 thank you :)
@ListeningKaty- welcome to our community
Hoping to make some new friends.
@Sumar2
Awesome! I find having friends makes me feel "rich", it's nice to have someone to turn to when sad or just to have fun. Have you already thought about some options where you can establish connections to others, like sports clubs or even meetup.com?
@amiablePeace77
hi! new in this community.
I'm committed to healing my anxiety. I've started a "retrain your brain" program which helps me deal with my anxiety and panic attacks. Every day, I will practice this program until I get well.
@pluckyStrings4696
It's a great goal and so helpful for life to train your subconcious for positive thinking 
. Are you using CBT?
@AdmirablePeace
Hello hope you are well
Just getting back from my 5-hour ride back from the doctor that did not see me. I had put my dog in board and care and got a hotel room, and they would not see me. So money over health Is the issue. I have two other insurances that they have been accepting. Life sure can be a roller coaster ride
@scarletPear1945
All this for nothing!? So sorry that this happened, must have been frustrating. Is there any way you can avoid it in future, did you have an appointment?
@amiablePeace77
Yes, I had an appointment, they canceled my appointment after seeing the new card. I got it straighten out after I got home now I have to make another appointment which means I have to put my dog in boarding and get a hotel room and another 5 or 6-hour drive back. However, now my back is out from so much sitting. I can't sleep well because of the leg pain or move around well for any length of time.
@scarletPear1945
Hope you back pain is better now, sometimes self-care can work wonders.
@scarletPear1945- sorry to hear about your MD visit debacule. Was it over the wrong insurance?? Hope your health improves in 2020.
@barncat
Hello, The problem was I thought I added an addition to my insurance but the new insurance took the place of my old insurance. I was able to get on the phone and cancel the new one and go back to what I had but it won't change till the end of the month. Now because of the long ride to the doctor and what I have been doing at home, my back is out again, causing me much pain. Today I will just rest and do self-care.
Just checking in with the community, I hope everyone is well.
