New to the Depression Community in October 2017? Say Hello here! And get to know others who joined in October too!
Hey, I've been on 7 Cups for quite a while now but I am fairly new to this community. I became an intern last week to learn more and as a motivation to help others more! I am glad that you are all here and if anyone needs anything, feel free to send me a message!
@KaylaGM Welcome to the community! Good luck with your internship :3
Hi, I've been feeling really depressed lately and its so hard for me to have the guts to let out all my feelings to anyone in real life because i don't want to feel vulnerable around them and i just get really embarressed about certain things im depressed about, and when i start saying things that im depressed from it all just comes out and it makes me really emotional and burst out crying and sobbing and makes me feel pathetic and like a failure. So i came on here to tell how im feeling as the friends I have are just people that I hangout with so i dont look like a loner and they're people that make me feel bad about myself everyday and people who will laugh at me and embarrass me on purpose and tell my secrets to other people and they are people who really dont care about how i feel at all because they will see that im sad and just turn around and not even ask if i'm okay so yeah i just really need someone to really be there for me and care.
@EveryLifeCounts - Hi. Welcome to our community. You deserve to feel heard and supported. It might be possible to be strong and seek support simultaneously. Depression might make us think we're weak, but every day we persist is superhuman. It's natural to have a lot of feelings about the things that depress us, or a lot of feelings about our own depression. You are not a failure. *hug* Sometimes, it is almost better to be alone, than with people who make our depression worse. Yet, despite all of that darkness, you are here trying hard to tell everyone how you are really feeling and that is incredible and valuable. You're amazing. There are many different ways to tell our stories on the site, and you're welcome to try as many as often as you like. We're here for you!
Hello to everyone. I've just joined the 7 cups community, because my recurrent depression is coming back on me, despite of 10 months of psychotherapy. I hope I can both get help and be a listener some time later when I have any energy to get things done
@solweig - Hello! Welcome. Recovery is a messy scribble, as you likely know, but we're here for you while you're finding your way. Sometimes helping someone else can help us too, and it's okay to take things at your own pace. Looking forward to seeing you around!
@solweig Welcome to the community! I hope you find the support you're looking for! How are you finding it so far? :3
Hello. I joined 7 Cups a couple of weeks ago but haven't posted much. I'm currently going through a severe bout of depression brought on be the ending of my relationship. Depression has been an underlying emotion most of my life, but my current situation has brought it to the forefront. Thankfully, I have been disciplined enough to go to work and take care of my responsibilities, stop drinking alcohol, and start exercising again. I have gotten professional help and had my first therapy session last weekend and I will continue to talk to a professional.
This week has been hard for me. As well as dealing with depression, I have also been struggling with a lot of anger and resentment. I am just tired of feeling this way and I want it to stop.
I look forward to speaking with you all and maybe I can even help some. Thanks for reading.
@Mrhockey77 - Hello! Welcome. It's okay to go about things at your own pace. It's natural for a lot of feelings to come up, when we're alone after being with someone, anger, resentment, depression, hurt, and more. Depression can feed off of those feelings, fester and grow. The struggle can feel physically exhausting, and we might feel like it will never end. Maybe something good will surprise us. It sounds like you've been trying many different things, you're incredible! I'm sorry this past week has been extra challenging. You're welcome to chat more whenever you're ready, whether the forums, group chats, or 1-on-1 listeners. We're here for you.
@melonMeloncholy Thank you for the kind words!
@Mrhockey77 Welcome to the community! ^-^ Well done for seeking professional help :o That can be a really hard thing to do and I'm really proud of you ^-^ How are you finding the therapy? Is it going well?
Sounds like you've had a tough week, I hope things improve soon *hugs*
@Rose It is going well and I think it is helping. It's nice to be able to talk to someone that you know %100 will not judge you and is there to help. Thanks for the kind words!
