Dealing With a Lot…

User Profile: jesusredeemedme2425
jesusredeemedme2425 June 4th, 2025

I’m trying to do less on 7Cups, due to my hand pain and my burnout, but I’m still here. I’ve been purposely ignoring most of my penpal chats and other notifications I get, while responding to others. It’s been helping my mental overload to be able to ignore some notifications, and be able to focus better, breathe easier.

I’m just worried that people might think I don’t like them, I’m purposely shutting them out, I’m going back on my word about taking a break… I’m doing my best. I’m doing less, while trying to keep myself sane during an incredibly dark and difficult time, emotionally and physically and mentally. Making encouragement posts helps calm and ground me… Responding to a handful of penpal chats makes me feel seen and understood and less isolated.

I feel like I’m saying this all wrong. But I know you guys know me well enough, love me enough, to sift through what I’m saying and glean the meaning from my prattling. What I’m trying to convey is… I’m just doing less, I’m not leaving. I’m not ignoring specific people because of ill will, just because it’s easier on me in multiple ways. Loving people is keeping me sane.

Idk If any of this makes sense… I feel like it’s muddled. I hope you guys understand… Please let me know if you do.

I’m tagging almost everyone on my list. I’m too tired to worry about it. Forgive me for doing so… I just don’t want anyone thinking I’m going back on my word, yk?

I also just… want people to know the depths of the fear and the exhaustion and the pain… How utterly destroyed my heart feels, the constant physical and emotional pain, the numbness, mixed with feeling everything 200 times more than the average person. This has nothing to do with the post…Idk why I’m even saying this. I’m just… venting. I’ve been so depressed lately…

@jesusredeemedme2425 I do understand and when you are going through a hard time, you need to do what you need to do to get through it. People will understand that know you, that you are not being rude or dismissive or unkind but looking after your own mental health. As members and listeners we have to accept people's boundaries and also time limits and not demand more than what can be given. I'm here for whatever you need, always 💜🥰

Thank you <3

I hate being the harbinger of joy… And then plunging into the depths of despair. My job is to be calm and constantly cheerful and uplifting. Kiara doesn’t get depressed. Kiara is supposed to be perfect.

Kiara IS perfect. 

Pain and heartache does not change that you are wonderful, and no frailty is a flaw. You are perfect on your best day and you are perfect when you are feeling low. 

Lean on us when you need to catch your breath.

Kiara is broken and really struggling. Kiara needs to rest but finds none… Kiara can’t keep up.

@jesusredeemedme2425 Kiara can be the harbinger of joy and also still being human and sad and tired and depressed, they can coexist, doesn't make you any less you and you don't need to perfect, you just need to be you 💜

*Sends comforting vibes in your direction*

Dear Kiara, you owe us no explanation and none is needed. Our care for you is undimmed, and I am confident that we can all understand elements of the challenges you are tackling (and smashing like a boss!). You just keep doing what makes things work best for you, and we will all support you completely. You are not saying anything wrong, nor do we feel abandoned, ignored, or any other thing that might be causing you concern. You have an open, honest heart, and that shows in all you say and do. We all want you to feel seen and know that we care about you. If we could wrap you up in ***-problem-fix cottonwool we would, but we might need to invent it first.

You are important to us all. *Offers hugs to you*

You're taking care of yourself. There's no shame or guilt in that.

You've had a lot on your plate, especially recently. Yet you still express yourself (and quite well I might add). I wish I'd have done the same when I was depressed. Shutting everyone out tends to cause even more hardship... at least in my experience.

Follow your heart Kiara, you've got a good one.

Kiara 

Sending hugs and healing prayers your way. Please take care of yourself with all the love, empathy and compassion that you offer others. Burnout is very challenging on its own and you're dealing with so much more. We're here for you and if you need to do less or take a break, we support you and will look forward to welcoming you back. Please don't worry about having to respond to my post. I just wanted you to know you have my support ❤️

 It makes perfect sense, Kiara and your heart comes through clearly. You’re doing what you need to survive and stay grounded....that’s not something to apologize for. We see you, we understand and we’re with you. Take all the space you need. Your care still shines through.
I love you 💖
