A space for you to share
I can't text other members with this member account but I like this id, I can share with it too.
So I created this thread if any member would like to share here, I'll try my best to listen to you. If I'm drained I'll let you know I can't listen anymore for the lack of energy. Hope we can connect.
A lovely idea for any members who wish to have a M-M connection, thank you seashell 💙

@seashell145 Hi, I am a teenager and I struggle with my self esteem. I have some acne, and that really affects how I feel about myself. I also have unsupportive parents, so they won't help me with how I feel about myself and my life.
@adventurousCherry1905
Thank you for sharing. I understand Cherry, I too have been suffering with skin issues and it's hurting how I feel about myself. I feel guilty for not being able to take care of myself.
I guess using affirmations could help during this situation. Like, "Even though I have acne, I love myself. My acne doesn't define my self worth. I am trying my best. I will take things one step at a time." Cradling yourself like a baby. Hope this was helpful. <3
@seashell145 I am disabled and older, and my adult sons are helping to take care of me. I can't clean anymore. I need help with my medications. I get lonely. 7cups has been helpful to have people to talk to in the chat rooms. I need some emotional support. I am bipolar, and unfortunately that effects everything! Our internet has been out for a solid month, and that took away my only means of getting social interaction. I have macular degeneration and my sight is fading. I use lots of magnifiers and screen readers. I have a feral cat I tamed down, who started coming to the door for food. I finally got her to come inside and she doesnt cuddle with me but her presence nearby is comforting. We did get her fixed. It does help to have a pet. I'm so lonely without the internet but the cat helps. I've been reading a lot of books lately, large print with magnifiers works still so far. I've read 2 romance novels in the past 4 days. They take place in the old days, when phones were still attached to walls and getting pregnant out of wedlock was a town wide scandal. It's taken me back to the old days in so many ways, to spend time in these old books.

I'm so sorry jitterbug, you are going through so much. I'm sorry you can't clean anymore and have to depend on your sons for medications and other things. I can understand getting lonely and that having a bipolar disorder doesn't help with the moods, and probably with interacting with family members.
I'm sorry your eye sights are fading and you have to use magnifying glasses to read. But I appreciate how you have been reading novels from old times and how phones were in the walls. I'm glad you find comfort in them. Also it's nice you have a cat and how they bring comfort in your isolation.
I read your bio and I see you also enjoy playing jigsaw puzzle, I don't play it but appreciate it. I don't play video games but you playing it feels like you enjoy it, this is nice.
I appreciate you reaching out and sharing. I won't be able to provide more support because I am going through some things. But it's really helpful talking to others and I appreciate you are trying to do something about it, and reaching out to people in 7cups. I hope your days are spent with joy and beauty. Lots of love and warmth to you <3
