@Ford360 often I find that if I form the question, then answers come when the questions are clear and related to my life.
Hi, just found this app and joined. Looking for like minded people to chat with about life's up and downs, to share experiences and to help each other.

@soulsings hello, I joined recently and wanted to introduce myself. I'm a single father raising a teenage son. It's difficult navigating life and trying to make sure that you're doing your job as a parent.

Hi.
Just an introduction: I am going through perhaps the most difficult phase of my life. I have bipolar 1 disorder and had a nasty manic episode last year where I managed to alienate my daughter who has broken off contact for 1 and half year now, I got into trouble with the law and have a court case pending, became homeless and lost a network of friends aswell. I found a placce to live during this spring but the classical depression following a manic episode hit me full force and I had to have myself admitted to the psych ward. I am not on medication and hoping they will be able to help me. My life these days is very much trying to get through one day at a time and I struggle with severe loneliness. I am hoping I can find support and maybe even a some new friends here.

Hi all. Mike here. Decided to come back to 7cups and see if I can connect a bit. I've been feeling very lonely, isolated, and more depressed by the day. I'm finding it hard to make any friends and most people from my "past life" (school, previous marriage, etc.) have gone off on their own paths.
I meditate a lot and follow a lot of guided meditations on Insight Timer which is helpful but there is still no personal connection.
I do not want to believe that at 54 my life has pretty much come to a standstill of cleaning house and helping my old pets die peacefully.
Hi @Mike67 I see that you are very active in mindfulness and meditation. That is wonderful! You might be interested in the mindfulness topics we cover in Group Support Chat. Here is the calendar: https://www.7cups.com/forum/50OverCommunity_193/TeamToolsandTeamUpdates_1705/50plusDiscussionsScheduleandTopics_207920/
Rooms are popup rooms which means they open 5-10 minutes before they start. All times are in EDT time.
It also makes sense that you are looking for more ways to express yourself and relate to people. I found the Palouse Mindfulness training a great way to hone my skills in mindfulness.
Hope you find the support you are looking for.
I see your message was 9 months ago. I hope you are doing much better now. I'm 58, and I'm going through an extremely lonely period right now. My boyfriend broke up with me a few weeks ago. I don't have close friends. I'm here if you need someone to talk to.

Hi, not 50 yet, but soon will. I'm looking for wisdom of the 50+ community. Thank you!
@Sunarislistening the 50+ community is for anyone 18+ older. The name signifies that issues are about middle age and later in life but anyone is welcome.
Hey there! I am new to 7 Cups and over 50. I am looking forward to chatting with my fellow over-50 friends on 7 Cups. I adopted a new kitten in May and he is sooooo cute! My legs are a little scratched up because he likes to climb on them when I prop them up. How can I get mad at such an adorable, charming creature. My other cat did not like the kitten at first but now they are friends. I love pasta, sweets and watching old classic TV shows like I Love Lucy, Mr. Ed, Dick Van Dyke, Perry Mason, Leave It To Beaver, Green Acres, Alfred Hitchcock, Twlight Zone and The Honeymooners. Anybody else like these classics? The shows they have on now just do not appeal to me. Time for me to go now.
@pineapplepeanut. Hi welcome to 50+. I can relate. I had many kitties and I could never be mad at them, no matter what they did! I remember the tv shows that you mentioned. I’ve been watching some old westerns lately myself.
Hi, I like the old shows too. Bewitched, The Jeffersons, Frasier, Roseanne, etc. Thank for sharing.
@littlePark3677
Bewitched is really hilarious! 😊
