2. What made you happy this week? If you can't think of anything, then mention what makes you happy generally.

@MyNameIsNicole Hiyo!
1. How are you today? Truthfully, don't sugar coat it.
Truthfully, I feel stressed and sad. But I am trying to cope it as I have support from my friends.
2. What made you happy this week? If you can't think of anything, then mention what makes you happy generally.
Watching chibirds on instagram made me smiling today and yesterday. They are so cute <3
3. What is your favorite song you enjoy listening to, a lyric from a song,or personal quote? Pick anyone you like, you can even answer the three. You do you.
Oh Lord, I have a whole playlists of songs, so hard to mention every single one of them XD but personally I love the Russian song Veter from DDT - shoutout to all Russian brotors and sistors, and other cute persons!:
"Oh beautiful vastness that swallows the sky
Pressing up against earth like a lover’s goodbye
We huddled under one roof, taking shelter in warmth
Holding close, we would weather somehow"
@inventiveAcai3503
Sorry about your day. Your friends are wonderful.
That video sounds soo lovely, birds are super cute.
I like that lyric, what do you think about it?
@MyNameIsNicole nooo Nicole, chibirds are not videos XD'' chibirds are super mega cute drawings and gifs posted by their author Jacqueline on Instagram. Dunno if I can post here the link?
"Oh beautiful vastness that swallows the sky
Pressing up against earth like a lover’s goodbye
We huddled under one roof, taking shelter in warmth
Holding close, we would weather somehow"
In these words I feel a slight ray of hope for me. I feel rn literally like the people from the song: hudding under one roof with others who don't understand me fully, holding close to that vastness of sky, trying to just be.
Since 2 years i hv been asking my family to have therapy. They agreed and i had changed 2 psychologist. Actually the second one was just an psychological support kinda online therapy. Both didnt workout well. Rather i would say they didnt make any diff in my condition.
But what i feel is what i feel. I am not able to get better on my own. Is it wrong to still ask for help now? Or my problems are just invalid?
@Zeinm
It is great that you got the family to agree to therapy. I totally agree that finding the right therapist is so crucial to helping us along our journey. I also would like to say to you, That your feeling are very important and when people don't want to take the time to listen or hear you then that is not a sign to stop but keep searching until you find a good fit.
I have gone through so many therapists that just was not helpful to me nor sensitive to my problems, so I had to cut the tie and move on. It is hard but there is someone that is right. Hang in there and don't give up my friend.
Safe Hugs
It is certainly not wrong to keep asking for help. It can be really hard to find the right fit and start to heal. The whole process takes lots of patience, but you are on a good track if you keep trying.@Zeinm
1. How are you today? Truthfully, don't sugar coat it. I am working on self-betterment
2. What made you happy this week? If you can't think of anything, then mention what makes you happy generally. Learning new skills
3. What is your favorite song you enjoy listening to, a lyric from a song,or personal quote? Pick anyone you like, you can even answer the three. You do you. Respect Your Self
@scarletPear1945
You're really going in the right direction.
I wish you the best,keep holding on.
What new skills did you learn?
@MyNameIsNicole
Good morning Nicole{
The new skills I have learned are 1. If I don't change what I am doing on a daily basis but look to get different results that I will never reach my desired goals. (2). I have to be willing to investigate my motives, my thoughts, and my childhood programming (3). I must become accountable for my feelings and emotions that I focus on daily that are not productive by healing changing those into workable programs that reveal my authentic true self and work on. I have got to go back in my past and find the source address it, accept that it is there, and then begin to use affirmations that are real and heartfelt and practice that daily until my brain makes the switch or my subconscious makes the switch.
(4). Change comes at a price
Since childhood whatever i wanted to be. I hv turned to be complete opposite of that. Socially, intelectually, personally. Nothing is right about me.
Who believes in law of attraction?
When you have been thinking about how u want to be and turn out complete opposite. And now everyday i just lie on my bed just passing the day , everyday the same way, thinking about y i am like this.
Does things get better ever???
I have no idea what to do with myself. I am.just passing each day just lying down depressed.
And surely the quarantine has made it worse.
What can i do to just make myself atleast alive again?
@Zeinm
I am so sorry the depression has got you so downhearted.I can really resonate with feeling that way. I do believe that the Law Of Attraction is very much alive. Where we miss the boat is that we can say the affirmations from out of our mouth and if it is not in the heart as a Truth it will not work. The Law of Attraction works on a high vibrational level. When we are down in our spirit our vibrations are too low for it to attract what we want so we get what we always have got. The same old grap.
I too have been researching and trying to get on a higher frequency, which only occurs when we can get our mindset to change and generate Love, and Light back into the universe. The Law Of Attraction only works on our real truths and beliefs. It knows when we do not project the true authentic us. So little by little, we have to work on all of our emotions and thoughts to find a way to let go of the negative energy that we are sending out to a positive real love and acceptance for all things.
I am with you, we can achieve this, We Can Get the Life we Deserve by daily working toward it.
Stay safe and keep talking through your feelings. Everyday is a new opportunityHang in There
@scarletPear1945 u put that positivity into really understandable way. Thank you🙌
@Zeinm
Thank you.
How are you today?
I feel overwelmed and deeply depressed. It is hard to pull and push on the daily. I get so annoyed with myself about it all and feel that I am a burden. I feel as if I am an alien walking in the world removed and alone. That even if someone is with me that I am this shell that speaks talks etc but the who I am is behind a veil lost in the darkness. It is tiring having to push through all the muck to try and be present. When I am present all the emotions come swirling inside and cause panic and discord. Not the most pleasant of feelings. Numb sad worried mad angry tired horrible distrustful apathetic lost wild hurt etc Trying to do mindfulness while numb and blanked out. Music, sketching, walking, oculus (beatsaber) do help sometimes. Sometimes curling into a ball and just blanking out. It is hard this road I walk on. I am in therapy..I feel it has opened my eyes to some things. But with all things I feel rushed even though i move slow in it. Wish timelines in counseling were not so cookie cutter push on push on.. some people need more time. Music i love is red sun rising, tool, and the song be here now. george harrison. So i will post this now and panic because it is hard to be real, and expose some of my thoughts.
@Chaoticnyx
You did an awesome job of explaining and describing how you feel. Thank you for being willing to be vulnerable enough and trusting enough to post this. That in itself lets me know you are an awesome person.do anything I am so sorry that you are experiencing such turmoil. When you are already feeling down everything seems slowed down and it becomes an effort to do anything. I hope your therapist can slow down and give you the time and space to process at your own speed.
You be encouraged and hang tight. I hope you don't mind me responding to your post.
@scarletPear1945 Thank you for your uplifting words. I appreciate it very much. It is very tiring when the negative moves in fast and hard and the positive want's to come in slow and sporadic. I truly do hope he can understand this is a lot for me. And I may move sort of slow and he has been pretty patient thus far but I am feeling he is starting to become impatient. I have a lot of trauma that is involved here. With that comes all this void and emotions.Thank you again.
Sending peace. It is going to get better. I know all of those things that you are feeling. You recognize that is going to take time. @Chaoticnyx
@bestVase7265 Thank you so much
How are you doing today? @Chaoticnyx
@Chaoticnyx
Thank you for sharing. I feel so sad reading this.
I don't know what to say.
May I offer support?
@MyNameIsNicole thank you I am not sure what that means support I mean. I am still learning to navigate and understand this place.
@Chaoticnyx to add something.
I apologise. I should have explained more.
Well by support, I basically mean being a shoulder to rest on. Whether it's in the forums or elsewhere.
That can be in any way you're comfortable with.
7 Cups is such a wonderful place. You can get personal support by 'Conecting with a Listener' (Do you know how to do that?)
A listener is a person who is kind and understanding, and willing to talk to you and listen to you without judging.
You can also receive group support, in the chat rooms through friendly conversation with other members and listeners, and also in the forums- which is where you are right now, so welcome!
The forums are divided into various sub-categories, Depression Support, Anixety Support, Teen Zone, Disability Support and so many more divisions you may be interested in.
I'll personally message you to talk more about this, or I'll ask a lovely person who can.
Thank you for reaching out, please let me know if you have any questions or you want to add something.
@MyNameIsNicole
. How are you today? Truthfully, don't sugar coat it.
I am effing bad, dealing with grief, hurt...and I hate myself. I wanna take a break..but I can't. And no one understands. ( see, I am being truthful..)
2. What made you happy this week? If you can't think of anything, then mention what makes you happy generally.
Made me happy, maybe speaking with my cousin...but not much. And music makes me cry and laugh.
3. What is your favorite song you enjoy listening to, a lyric from a song,or personal quote? Pick anyone you like, you can even answer the three :-
Well, I like "stand by you" and "girl in the mirror" , "Rewrite the stars" (and literally rewrite !)
Lyrics :-
"You are beautiful just the way you are"
"And fate is pullin' you miles away
And out of reach from me
But you're here in my heart
So who can stop me if I decide
That you're my destiny?"
My stupid quote :- "It’s magic to live just for someone else, It’s heart warming to have another half"
I hope this ain't too long. But I want to write <3
@AlwaysForYou197
Hi Always.
Thank you for sharing, even though this may have been hard to write.
I understand that you may not be able to take a break right now. The little things help though, whether taking a few minutes to just have alone time or listening to some music.
I know the pain may not immediately go away, it might even always remain there.
But it'll get better hopefully.
Oh Always, I feel so sad. You're my friend, and I don't know how to support you.
@MyNameIsNicole
It's okay nicole. Just being my friend is helpful. Don't worry...
@AlwaysForYou197
I will worry. Because I care about you.
@MyNameIsNicole
I feel very depressed/miserable.
The only thing that made me happy this week was the fact that I was able to finish a drawing yesterday.
DNA by Lia Marie Johnson
I am so sorry that things are rough right now. They can be really overwhelming. It is nice that drawing helps you a bit. @MintyC64
@MintyC64
That's tough, seems like you had a rough week.
Would you like to talk about it?
Finsihing a drawing is like completing a marathon race. It's so satisfying.
What did you draw?
@MyNameIsNicole
1. How are you today? Truthfully, don't sugar coat it.
Truthfully? On edge, depressed. Not great.
2. What made you happy this week? If you can't think of anything, then mention what makes you happy generally.
I like drawing...
3. What is your favorite song you enjoy listening to, a lyric from a song,or personal quote? Pick anyone you like, you can even answer the three. You do you.

Thanks for being truthful. Sending peace. I think so many of us are on edge right now. @helioss

I'm sorry to hear that. Do you want to share why you feel this way?
Drawing is a great hobby. I love drawing, well more like doodling. I don't have the expertise to draw more than a stick figure :p
I have so many song recommendations from this, adding Three thirty by AJR to my list.
I'll let you know what I think about it.
I'm not doing the best if I'm being honest. I think I'm falling into another depressive episode and it actually hurts to feel like this. There's just this heavy weight on my chest and I want to cry all the time but can't. I feel so guilty for feeling like this and for all that I'm putting my family through.
Today I successfully chatted with a member on here. It was scary due to my social anxiety but they were extremely happy with how it went and I'm proud of it. One thing which usually makes me happy is seeing my dog running around and happy.
One of my favourite quotes at the moment is "If you feel that you are losing everything just remember that every year trees lose their leaves, but they still stand tall and wait for better days to come"

Hello, would you like me to message you so we can talk more on this?
I completely grab everything that you just said. You are so caring to put others before even when you aren't really doing well, especially feeling guilty of making people worried about you.
Your mental health matters. It matters so so much. When you're in a good state of mind, you will be able to better tolerate people around you.
I understand that it is challening. You are so kind, carrying this burden and still wanting to help others.
Taking a break is important, especially when you're not doing well. It's not selfish, it's caring. That way you can better support people.
I am happy your conversation went well. It's so joyful when you support someone and you can feel the gratitude radiating off them.
Thank you for being wonderful.
I like that quote, it motivates me. No lie.
