Share what is making you feel a little down
I'm sad because I want to be a listener and help people to feel better but a small voice in my head keeps telling me that I'm not good enough and that I am terrible listener and I will most likely make them feel worse and yep I am just feeling really bad about myself.
@SweetInnocence It sounds like you care a lot about others. I don't know if you should create a listener account but even as a member, you can still help others. I know plenty of members that do just as good of a job providing support, sometimes even better! Don't sweat the title, do what makes you feel comfortable. You're very important here, any support and care you give to others won't be forgotten. 
@SweetInnocence I feel the same way. Just knowing that I'm not alone brings me a little comfort. Thanks.
@SweetInnocence
If you want to be a listener , don't let anything or anybody stop you. The little voices is another person inside u saying u can't do it or that you're gonna be crap at it is a liar. A big fat liar. It just doesn't want you to do things that is good for u. It's like a little devil on your shoulder whispering. Flick it off. Lol. I hope u become a listener and you mite surprise yourself how you are at helping others. It'll help u along too. Chin up and go for it x
My mum keeps telling me that I am weak.
Hey @crimsonMelon8700
Weakness is subjective, maybe you are, maybe you aren't, but we should all aspire to be stronger 
. I've been scolded a lot by my parents too, but as we grow older, things change. Don't lose hope, hang in there buddy!
Hey guys :) I was wondering... I'm always tired and I find it hard to get excited about things. In fact, my marching band is going to perform in Florida on Thursday and everybody else is really excited but I'm honestly dreading it... I study too much and I stress hard for days before a test. I cry a lot but I think it might just be kind of a subconscious cry for attention? Does anyone have any tips for me? I'm sorry if I'm bothering you btw but today is my 16th birthday and I'm sitting here and I literally have no friends and idk if it's because I'm doing something wrong... Please -- any advice is helpful! <3
Heyy @JustForNow2001
Firstly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!. Have an awesome day dear. As for the advice you seek, I'm just going to mention a few things that helped me along the way. The need for attention only comes when we don't love and accept ourselves enough. Well it is human tendency, but that's more of a want than a need. You can't control who likes you or doesn't like you, so don't stress over it. Just do what makes you happy. The key thing is to prioritise your happiness and comfort over others. It's okay to not have friends, it's okay to be a nerd, as long as as that's what you want. IF you don't want to be that way, cuz it doesn't make you happy,(not that you feel left out), then it's time you put in some effort to change that, but don't do it for someone else. Do it for yourself, if that make you happy . As for the stress, if you had studied hard, you'll do great. If you didn't , then the results might not be as good. Exam results are related to the amount of effort you put, it doesn't necessarily define your capabilities as a person. So relax dear, enjoy life as it goes. Don't feel pressurised to do anything. Just keep being happy as your ultimate goal in life
Today was just plain awful for me. First I didn't get hardly any sleep at my niece's house, then I had trouble getting a ride home. My other niece promised that she would give me a ride home but then many different things kept coming up and she couldn't give me a ride home. Then my niece made food that I thought would be really good but turned out to be really spicy instead. On top of all that I had to deal with her drunken man all night and her stupid brother all weekend long too. Then the cab I called came to pick me up too early as I wasn't ready yet. Then to make the weekend from hell complete my heating pad suddenly stopped working. I need the heating pad for the pain in my side that never ends. Then when I finally do get home I have to deal with my sister and my ignorant brother in my face. He lives with me and my mom but he's one of the reasons that I feel like crap on the daily. I want to disappear because he makes me feel like I wish that I was dead. How could a person's own family make them want to harm their self? My family has always made me feel like they would be better off without me there.
I'm feeling sad and worthless as usual. I put on a good face and pretended like I always do. I am a nobody that has to say the right things and put on a smile all the time. On the internet no one can see the tears behind the text as long as the words typed are "right." Having to pretend will never end. I have to be kind to others because they always matter most.
@IamOHhh
I know exactly how you feel because often my family makes me feel like I don't exist until they need something from me. I have even contemplated suicide because in death there's no pain, it just floats away. This is appealing to me because I consistently am in emotional and physical pain all of the time.
@lynsay31 I am sorry you have to be in so much pain and to feel alone is even harder. I totally understand what you mean I think a lot about suicide too just so the pain will stop but it's not the answer and I know it, I want to encourage you to keep fighting even when you feel like you can't. You aren't alone, we are here and we understand.
I missed IntelligientRiver. (India near Delhi). He was my fav listener and a brill friend. He cuts off our contacts on here and on Kik without warning cuz I've messed up our friendships a few times, even after I've apologised countless times. He knew abt my problems with ppl and stuff but he still left me knowing it'd be painful for me. it was unforgivable so if you're reading this River, I wish u well. I really really do.
@UnwantedChick
Hey there, hope you're having a good day
I'm sorry to hear that dear, but maybe he has his own issues too right? Nobody is perfect :P
@FriendlyNature256
You could be right. Never thought of it that way. Thank you.
Hope you have a lovely week too :)
Hello...
Heyy @lilyofwinter23
How are you doing?
@FriendlyNature256
I'm trying to hang in there the best I can. Idk... sigh
@lilyofwinter23
Hey there 😊👍🏾
Caught myself compairing my life to someone elses again, which made all the bitterness and hopelessness come back for a while. Not really sure what to do right now, but oh well. >.<
@mimameid
Hi mimameid, I understand how u feel. I can really start spiraling when I compare myself to others. I believe everyone's life path is brilliantly unique and valuable. This thought can help get me on track again. tc & hug.
Life is messed since past few months and because of that me and my family are going through a lot of emotional and mental problems. Close friends have turned strangers and hardly any help around. Feeling very low and hurt. Hope god shows mercy, forgives me and my family for sins we had done. Wish we get over soon.
@tej2987 I can totally relate! Hope it gets better.
@tej2987
I can understand dear what u are going through, my wishes are with u ... this are going to be fine soon. I wish i make you trust my words but time will prove that i was right, just keep faith in urself and the allmight - god bless 🙌 💚
This is my first time here. I've been feeling very sad and depressed lately with no motivation. I took off work today again because of it. I see my counselor on Wednesday, but am also trying to find tools to help me through this.
@sunnyPeach8209
Sending positive thoughts your way sunny peach. Seeing a counselor & being a 7cups community member is a pretty smart and courageous move that u have done. Good job!!!! tc.
