You can rant here
I know how it feels sometimes when you just want to rant, but don't know who to talk too or even if they will care. Well I care. You're not alone! Please feel free to say whats been on your mind lately, if you want someone to talk too or just want to rant away. I will listen.
I feel like I screwed up my family’s vacation. I forgot certain things for the trip and my mom told me I ruined the holidays because of it. What kind of mother would say that to their children?
It's too loud and stimulating ;(
I give up. I just can't anymore. I try to get help in therapy and i cant even open up or express how i feel. I can't even show any emotions to her. Nothing helps. therapy is a joke. I am so far more damaged then i thought - there is no hope. i give up on trying to get better - trying to reclaim my life. There is no life worth reclaiming. It has been ruined and it will never be better. This just needs to be accepted. it pisses me off so bad that other people can cause the damage and its my job to fix it, and even though i want that more than anything else, i am too damaged to be repaired. There is nothing left. And nothing left of me worth saving. I do not even know why the fuck i am even on cups anymore - its all pointless - life is a fucking pointless cruel joke.
@blissedNblessed- Sounds like you are having a really dark terrible time. Just letting you know I read your post - and am sending a tiny beacon of light to you. It may not be much, but wanted to say you do matter to those of us here.
@barncat
Awww, thank you.
Yeah - I was in a very Very dark place and I was feeling really hopeless - it was the start of this little ( rather LARGE) breakdown that I had the other day. But, I managed to get myself back :) It is just so hard sometimes. TY for saying that I matter to you guys on cups - that means more to me than you know <3
@blissedNblessed I know how it feels to be in that darkness too. Your voice has been heard
@lakesidecarpenter
hugs. thank you :)
@blissedNblessed i just want you to know that if you can make it to the other side of the darkness your in, then you are one of the strongest people out there. sending love <3 your way.
@ZJK
Thank you!
I have never thought about it in that way - and this makes me feel so resilient and strong ❤️
@blissedNblessed
Therapy is a rollercoaster. I know it hard but you should appreciate the fact you've gotten that far and are going. It took me a while to find the right therapist. I'm sorry you are going through so much pain. Idk how you feel but I'm also struggling with depression. Getting out of bed is a win at this point. Know that there are people who feel like you do and as hard as it is to comprehend, you aren't alone. Again, I wish I could be more of help. No one should carry so much suffering and pain as you described. I'm wishing you the best, wherever you are.
Feeling regretful and lonely also my anxiety is at 100!!
I'm feeling doubtful of my mind and the future back at work.
I feel upset and broken.
Things I can schedule this week: 2 things: dental appointment, eye exam (priority), and life coach???
Were you able to get one of those done? So often I feel overwhelmed with tasks and it’s hard to motivate myself so I’ll focus on getting “just one” done. This week my big 3 are calling the IRS who can’t find my payment, cleaning the cat vomit from the carpet, and my nemesis, organizing my office, which I’ve been working on for 3 months now because “just one thing” can be file the papers on the left side of the desk. (SIGH). I’m with ya!!!
@Zerlyna
Same.
I did 2 of the 3 in a week. I think it's easy to make the phone call for appointments. But difficult to do more thinking tasks.
I like the list idea you have there!! :)
@Zerlyna
You can do it!
I quit my job a month ago. Im looking for a new one but just cannot do what I did for 32 years. I haven't told anyone that I quit either. I'm falling far behind on bills too but I just can't do it anymore. So I am in a bit of a jam.
Hey guys! I hope everyone is having a blessed day like I am, despite everything. I've been trying this new thing, that instead complain about all the negative things that's happening, I focus on all the positives and say I'm having a great day even when I know there are things I can easily complain about.
I was sitting around my laptop and was just casually browsing on my profile and came across something I thought is worth sharing! Tomorrow, Feb 9, 2022 will mark my five years on me being apart of the 7 cups community.
Tomorrow will mark five years ago I googled something about having depression and I need to talk to someone. I need a free site to vent about my problems I couldn't talk about with the people around me. I needed to vent anonymously, and luckily I came across this site, 7 cups of Tea. I remember signing up as a member and chatting with a listener. They were so supportive, kind and surprisingly very understanding, and after chatting I felt so much better. Before exiting the site I saw a notification or something, I can really recall, however, the message stated that I could sign up to become a listener and I did. Now here I am five years later and got diagnosed with MDD.
Depression is no joke, and to every souls battling this disease, I extend a warm embrace to you all. I don't find therapy really helpful, but I found out that providing a listening ear to others and helping them to get through their struggles help me. I promise to be here for whoever that needs a safe space to vent. I'm here.
Feeling stressed out and anxious and bad a lot but I’m seeking my support system, going to therapy, and engaging with online resources and socializing as much as I can right now. Even though it’s been extremely difficult for a long time, I’ve made it out of this before and I can do it again.
