hi there! - new here
hi there! im new to 7 cups, and its a bit weird for me to do this.
i go to university and i see a counselor for one-on-one appointments, but i thought trying this out would be interesting.
depression and anxiety run in my family and i didn't really know i was depressed until i went home for winter break and i could barely get out of bed, felt lethargic, and didn't want to see my own lovely family.
it has gotten worse and i don't know how to fix it. i desperately want to be better, but i feel like i can't motivate myself to, because, whats the point? im constantly asking myself that and i don't know how to keep my emotions in check.
i also got told tonight by one of my best friends here at my college that i am an emotional burden and that everyone can't deal with my problems anymore on top of their own. i feel like a horrible person.
im hoping this way i can get my emotions out and feel less like a POS person and try and get better.
Hi @pumpkinhannah and welcome! It's great to have you here. I also suffer from Depression and it runs down both sides of my family.
Sorry to hear you had a tough time lately. It is never nice to hear something hurtful especially from a good friend and I'm sorry that happened to you. Hopefully, the friend will choose to make a repair and in the meantime, I hope we can make you feel just a little bit better.
