who do you turn to for support?
I'm so grateful for my friends, they have had me move in for the summer, ive been super supportive and they have also been. However i feel like im a burden and today is a bad day for myself. My friend has gone to meet up with her other friend and has been gone for 3 hours, leaving me on my own. I feel like i shouldnt be here for when she gets back. I'm an emotional rollercoaster and i feel all the people i normally speak to, i cant anymore because they are busy and dont answer. Who can i speak to when you get that way? i struggle as i dont have anyone to turn too....
I would normally do my two friends, but one is super busy and the other is busy too....
@TinkerCat28 hi! I know how it feels because I went through the same thing days ago. I was broken, at first I started to reconsider my friendship, but then I turned this awful experience in a valuable lesson: it taught me how to rely on myself and let my friends do whatever they want-with or without me. I know it sooo hard to just let go like this, but remember that you are strong and you are capable of building your own support-it's all within yourself!
However if you find this difficult, I believe that this platform is really helpful, you'll find a gentle soul ready to help you. Hope it helps!

Hi! I feel the same way. I only have a few friends and my family is kind split up and my boyfriend has his own problems and doesn't really know how to help me. So I've been reaching out to counselors and I've also been finding places like this. A support network with friends is important, but I feel like places like 7 Cups and the people we meet here are just as valid resources for support - sometimes it just reallllly helps to put our feelings into words and just be heard by someone we know is unbiased and compassionate, that by itself is so healing. I guess I'm saying that this community is here to support you, right? - We're all here for each other. :)
