Newbie here
Hi. Im a student in special education because I have Autism; and Im gonna be 17 starting March 3rd. My favorite hobbies are sewing, drawing, and I wander around the house a lot.
I also have Anxiety which is why I also cant sleep very well at night, so I just mess around. During the day, Im usually more in the mood to lay down and feel the blankets against my skin because I have soft textured blankets for sensory topics.
I used to be set up with a psych intern at school for emotional disturbance and suicidal thoughts; and we had a very amazing relationship together even for only 1 year.
My psych intern was always there for me and never questioned my emotions even if I was crying for no reason. She could only stay at the school for 1 year; and then she became a doctor in Virginia.
Ever since she left, I have been feeling blank and I have no idea what to do with my life.
Ive recently been on 3 medications. The third one is very new; and I was given the 3rd one because I had gotten into a fight with a family member and it wasnt pretty.
Since then, I have been trying to get back into therapy, but theres still a lot of bills to pay.
I considered online therapy with a chat bot, but the free one I tried was creepy; and I ended up teaching it way more than it did for me.
So, with all that said, I hope nothing bothered you; and that we can all chill out together. Thanks for reading this.

Hey thanks for taking the time to write a bit about your thoughts and life. I can see that your days have been pretty difficult with those anxious thoughts. I can imagine that you really miss the psych intern as you were able to be yourself and have a shoulder there to cry on or to share your sorrows. I hope that your medication has made a difference if a little. It isnt nice having a fight with a family member cus usually they know what to say to make you feel horrible or you take it to heart. I hope that you find online therapy helpful and you can open up on here.
@Ashaurora Hi there friend! Welcome to our community! We are so glad to have you here! I love the hobbies you have and I too wander around my house a lot! I do lots of self-reflection during that time! I'm sorry to hear that you have anxiety. Anxiety can be tough to live with and manage and I understand those struggles. That's unfortunate that you lost your psych intern. Hopefully 7 Cups can be a good source of support for you! We have daily check-ins and forum discussions to partake in if that interests you! Thank you for reaching out to us and I hope you have a beautiful night!

I too am new here and am looking for an online community to help with my fears and challenges. I see that you are a fighter like me and that you will not give up because you want a fulfilling life, that is why we seek help from others with experiences that match our needs. I look forward to finding many things on this site that will guide me to a happy life and I believe you will also find what you seek. I just wanted you to know you are not alone. I like the name generated for you - two of my favorite things, Ash trees, and The Aurora Borealis. You are a Tree that looks Skyward. Very cool.
