So glad to have found this resource for community and sharing. Its just the hubs and I and our two dogs this holiday. Trying to stay focused on all the good things we have planned for late next year and not dwell on the pandemic. Everyone stay home and stay safe!
Hello,
I joined this site a few days ago for a bit of support and just have others to talk to that can relate to life right now and all it's throwing at us! Still trying to figure out how to use 7 Cups, but excited to be a part of it all! Thank you!

I am a new member, just joined today I am having a lot of trouble sleeping due to pain and anxiety and feeling hopeless during the day and with negative thinking that life is not worth it
Hello everyone. I'm new to the app, and new to the whole 7 cups thing. Hope this is going to help my ptsd, and maybe make some new friends who understand what it's like.
@crystalhawk welcome to 7cups and 50+ subcom. I hope you find the support you are looking for.
@soulsings thank you. Looks like I posted twice. Oops. Anyway. Nice to meet you.

Hello everyone. I am new to 7 cups. The last 3 years have been really hard. I lost my father in January 2018, had a personal health scare a month later, lost my little dog to his heart condition after that. Got diagnosed with C-PTSD. And then May of this year my mother passed from a heart condition. The current situation with the pandemic is just making all of this so much worse. We had to have my mothers funeral virtually online, so I don't really feel any closure yet from that. I am praying next year will be better. And hoping to find others on here that understand what all this trauma feels like. I look forward to getting to know you.
@crystalhawk I am deeply sorry for the loss of your mom and your dog. That must be so rough to go through, especially with the pandemic making life so isolated. I invite you to try our group chat discussions which may address some of the issues you face. here are two this week

Cancer diagnosis and too sick from chemo treatments. Can anyone relate?
Diagnosed with cancer and really struggling with how sick the treatments are making me. No quality of life being sick all the time
@Lolobro
Hello Lolobro, I'm really sorry for your challenging health problem, I really hope that you will feel better in time.
When you need to talk about it, be aware that in 7 cups you also have the option to select the topic 'cancer' on HERE in order to be connected to a listener that would support you in a chat.
Best wishes 
I'm 55 and could swear I was 35 yesterday. I'm just finishing a Ph.D. which just about finished me lol but I have Parkinson's and the old adage "use it or lose it" is even more important with Parkinson's. So I've been using it all right! Just submitted my first manuscript on applying deep machine learning to measuring water currents. I picked a topic that is by definition below C level otherwise I'd never pass.
