Thanks for tagging me:). I’m from Canada and I love my plant babies and fur babies more than anything. I also enjoy painting, drawing, and paper crafting. I suffer with anxiety, depression, and OCD. I am new here so some friendly people to talk to would be great! I haven’t explored many of the chat rooms yet, just the sharing circle. So i guess it would have to be my favourite. I like how everyone listens and offers support and kind words no matter the context. I felt very safe and included.

Hi everyone, This is my first post on 7Cups, which is intimidating but here goes. I am Aundrea, 32. Been suffering from depression and anxiety since I was 14 and it's gotten to a point where I can barely leave home. My pets (8 cats) are my therapy at the moment, 7Cups seem to be helping too. I know it's tough but I hope everyone has a pleasant day, even if only for a while. Thanks for reading

I am new to depression support. I hope to discover new avenues to helping myself be a person with less depression. It will be very nice to meet people who know and understand what you are dealing with and going through. My favorite chat room so far has been the Sharing Circle. And, by the way, I celebrate International Left-Handed Day on August 13th. Anyone a lefty here let me know. Take care all.

Hi there, I am diagnosed with Chronic Major Depression. This is the name for a specific type of depression caused by two separate depressive disorders: Major Depressive Disorder and Persistent Depressive Disorder. I have been this way for about 12 years, but it has gotten even worse since losing a pet who I love very much. I have lost people and pets before, but he was different. I haven't been able to recover. I miss him very much. I hardly get out of bed, anymore, and now I live in absolute filth, with no running water and a fly infestation in my home. I had been eating one meal per day for the last few weeks, but now I am up to eating two or three meals per day, which is good. I wish I could know if he is okay.

Hi. Call me Fish. I've struggled with anxiety and depression since I was a kid. Recently I'd been doing ok. However, with the resurgence of the pandemic and realizing I really resent my mother for how I was raised I'm not so great. I just joined 7cups, so I'm not sure what all is here yet.

hello :) i normally don’t do things like this, but i was actually looking up a tarot card (7 of cups) and the website came up, so i thought i’d give it a try. i have 3 cats and 1 dog and i’d love to find support in others and possibly be support to others as well

I’ve been suffering from depression since I was a teen. I found 7 cups through a friend with BiPolar. I’ve been doing pretty good recently but for some reason I feel like I’m back sliding again. I haven’t spent much time in the chat rooms so I have no idea which one is my favorite.

Hi! I'm Emmi and I suffer from depression and anxiety. I'm kinda new to 7 cups, so I have never used a chatroom, or even tried to connect to other people, but I want to change that. I hope everyone is having a great day!
