Emotional support
I haven't been on this app for a long time but i am starting to rely on it so much!! It's literally the only thing keeping my mood at an ok level. I don't know what would i do without this app😭 i don't know if it's healthy to rely so much on this app for emotional support but i really have nothing else for now.
I also mostly only make forums posts because it helps me to clear up my mind and people are interacting with them. I tried to go to several group chats but felt so uncomfortable every time. I get ignored most of the time and can't really catch up on the discussions.
@schrodingerscattt thank you for opening up and sharing your experiences with us, Schrodinger. It sounds like making forum posts have become an important outlet for you during challenging times. I am glad you take these steps. I am sorry to hear about how you tried different group chats but not felt heard yet. Please know we are al here with you to listen to and to support in the group chats and I welcome and invite you to try again. We are all in this together. Please know relying on outside support can feel uncomfortable, yet reaching out is also a strength. I believe in your ability to keep nurturing your well-being in a balanced way.

Thank you! I am just worried of my posts being deleted because it might be considered as spam. The rules are kinda harsh here and i am worried of making a mistake
@schrodingerscattt It's understandable to feel worried about posts being deleted or making a mistake. But please know we are all learning by doing. So, please do take your time and share what you can.
@ASilentObserver
Thank you! I needed to hear this! I tried once again to go in group chats but didn't feel great there. People are just talking about such random stuff and i just can't catch up on their weird conversations.
@schrodingerscattt make sense. maybe you can try Sharing Circle sessions. It might be something you may find worth exploring and sharing there
@schrodingerscattt it´s ok. You have a hard time and you are doing the best you can with the resources you have. If this is what is helping you, use it.
I think posts are a good way to get insights. I also personally like to connect with a listener, so maybe a one on one chat would be better for you if you don´t like group chats. Or try sharing circle, they work on a queue basis, and everyone has 5 or 7 mins i think? to share what is on their mind with people listening to them. Personally, sharing circles don´t really work for me, cause I get pretty depressed by listening to what´s going on with everyone, so if you are an emotional sponge like me I would recommend a listener chat or keep the posts. In case you accidentally overdo it with posting, in absolutely worst case you just make a new account and continue like nothing happened, just will have more experience to know where the limits are so you it won´t happen the second time.

Thank you! I like talking with listeners but when i post to the forums i just get so many wonderful insights! It's more interesting than just talking to a single person. It makes me feel part of a community. That's why i didn't want to try the sharing circles. I am an empath and it hurts only by reading about what happened to people. I seriously wanted to cry once when someone told me a sad story about them.
@schrodingerscattt same. I just get hard depressed when there. But i think posting on forums is great. I am taking time to talk on forums more and there is really a sense of community here
@schrodingerscattt it's not bad, I rely on this site too ❤❤ I'm glad venting helps clear your mind ❤ gives you a giant festive tiny hug ❤❤ always here for you ❤
@Tinywhisper11
Thank you! But i realized that 7 cups is not doing much to really help me. I still feel such a deep pain inside of me and i wake up and already cry for about half an hour. It's a great app but i guess i am just to broken to be here yk. I just want to be genuinely happy for once. It's been three years since i was truly happy. My situation is really breaking me. It hurts me so so much. Today i cried my eyes out and still don't feel any better.
@schrodingerscattt yeah I understand that ❤❤ gives you a giant festive tiny hug ❤ we can't always make you better, just feel supported, that's all I need. I wish I could take away your pain and troubles. You are a very very lovely person, always remember that you are loved and cared about. ❤❤ gives you a giant festive tiny hug ❤ I hope you find your smile soon ❤
Hello @schrodingerscattt 🥰
I'm really glad to hear that this app has been a comforting presence for you. It's okay to find solace in spaces where you feel heard and understood, especially when other avenues might feel overwhelming. Remember, it's perfectly normal to lean on different supports at different times in our lives. Using this app for emotional support is absolutely okay, especially if it's helping you. It's also great that forum posts are a helpful way for you to process your thoughts and engage with others. Each person's journey is unique, and it's important to do what feels right for you. If you ever feel like you're relying too much on the app and it's concerning you, maybe exploring additional support options could be beneficial, even if it's just a little step at a time. Your comfort and well-being are what matter most 💛
