TherapyNeeded2022 Chat :)
Hey hey! ♡ Making this post for @TherapyNeeded2022 so we can chat when you age up :) I hope this finds it's way to youu <3 We will miss youuu
@TabbyCat97 Hey hey! Thank you so much for making this Tabby. I will definitely try to remember how to get to this post and keep chatting to you.
@TherapyNeeded2022
Awesomee ♡ it will be great to continue to chat to you :)
@TabbyCat97 hey hey Tabby, how's you? It seems like my accounts are aging up early unfortunately 😭.
@TherapyNeeded2022
oohhh nuuu therapyy! ♡ can you submit a support ticket here (Submit a request – 7 Cups Help Center) and submit a ticket for them to update your birthday? <3
Thanks, that link doesn't work very well on a phone though, sadly.
@TabbyCat97 Hey! How are you? Signal isn’t great where I am but I’ll respond when I can 😊
@TherapyNeeded2022
Hey heyy ! ♡ you're an oldie now? :o
How is the holiday going? I am awesome ty!
It is so lovely to hear from youu <3
Also Happyyy Lateee Bdaaayyy !! (I think I forgot, I am awful at birthdays :p)
@TabbyCat97
Yep, an oldie now 😭.
The holiday has certainly been interesting so far and chances are will continue to be. Glad you’re awesome though.
I’m just glad I managed to find this forum somehow.
Thank you! Hehe, that’s alright, I’m not great either it was on Sunday.
@TherapyNeeded2022
Awwee ): would you like to talk about whats making it interesting? ♡
Here for you always 💜 Hope the birthday was okay :)
@TabbyCat97 Sorry for the slow response, I fell asleep 😅
Tw (in case anyone else reads this) - SH, Sui
Sure, basically my cousin (who I don’t have that much to do with anymore) girlfriend spoke to my mum a couple of nights ago and said that he was saying he is a burden to everyone, doesn’t want to be here anymore, how he had slit his arm (SH), both of which triggered things to get worse than they were already for me.
Nope, I hate having a birthday so we don’t really celebrate that anymore, and I was ill from the morning onwards of my birthday and it was raining.
@TherapyNeeded2022
Hey hey! No worries :) I've been really busy and replying slow too, I'm sorry ♡
I'm so sorry you heard all of this ): this must be incredibly triggering to hear - and I know you were struggling so much already. With this trigger added on top things must feel so very difficult 😕
How have you feel coping with these triggers? 💜
I just want to add also, if you ever need more of a live chat - we can always schedule a time and reply back and forth on forums ♡ - I'm proud of you, and I'm here for you
I hear you with the birthday thing. Birthdays can be really tough and triggering times :(
@TabbyCat97 (it wouldn’t let me reply again so I started a new part)
Hey hey! That’s alright, both been busy.
It certainly wasn’t easy last night and it got to a point where I had to avoid cups (hopefully you know what I am referring to).
I spoke to a couple of my good friends last night to try and keep my mind off things and just try and stay busy mainly. Well and listen to music but that’s always the case.
Ok, thank you. I will keep that in mind, maybe after I get back as my signal isn’t great so my replies would be incredibly slow.
@TherapyNeeded2022
Hey hey :) what have you been up to on holidays? ♡
I understand :( I'm so sorry it got so bad. 😔 that must've been very difficult to cope with.
I am proud of you for finding distractions 💜 talking to others and reaching out can definitely be helpful. Music is my go too also! I loves it 🎵
I understand you on that one, it would be hard without signal ♡
How are things with cousin? :(
@TabbyCat97
Not much really, as I’ve been ill for a lot of it. Otherwise just going to different villages nearby or going for walks with the dogs.
Definitely wasn’t easy to deal with, but I’m still here on cups so I’m taking that a positive thing.
I remember a lot of our conversations to do with music.
Haven’t spoken to them since really, but they seem alright.
@TherapyNeeded2022
Im so sorry you've been ill most of the holiday ): ♡ being ill is awful and I really hope you feel better soon.
I'm so happy you still have cups, and you're amazing - looking at the positives in these difficult times is awesome :') I'm proud of you
Yaasss our music talks! You have the best taste ♡ - do you have a fav at the moment?
I'm happy to hear cousin seems okay, I hope you're doing okay with triggers too? ):
How's family been throughout the holiday (if you're comfortable saying ♡)
Really proud of you for opening up here <3
@TabbyCat97
It’s alright, just one of those things. I am feeling a bit better now but keep struggling to regulate my temperature.
Thank you, I just try to remember what you have told me in the past.
I quite like Healing hurts lately, as it’s been quite relatable lately. What about you?
Mostly yeah, I’ve been dealing with them. Just keep everything you’ve previously told me in my mind when I am so tempted to relapse.
They have made some questionable comments on things to do with my cousin otherwise I try to just keep out of the way of them.
Thank you, it isn’t easy but might be a bit more cryptic here as I don’t really like stating too much.
@TherapyNeeded2022
Hey 💕
Struggling to regulate temperature sucks, I know that never feels great 😕 I am happy you're feeling a bit better now though <3 *sending even more healing beams*
Really proud of you for remembering what we have talked about previously and helping yourself in anyways you can - thats amazing ♡
Oohhh ill have to listen to that! o: I like coldplay and viva la vida and yellow recently! hehe. I am also liking Moral of the story by Ashe. Music thats relatable can definitely help <3
Super duper proud of you. I know recovery is hard - but you're doing amazing trying to distract in those intense moments and throughout those urges. 💕
Questionable comments can be tricky, especially if their relating to mental health things. I understand even if a comment isn't aimed at you, if it's questionable and about something others may struggle with it isn't nice to hear 😕 I hope everything is okay with your cousin ♡
Glad you're able to keep out of the way of things too, you don't deserve or need any added stress through these hard times :(
I totally get that. I know forums are more open and people can see. It's harder to add detailed and share lots of things on here. I pick up on some of the hints to things and have an idea of how things must be currently though ): Thinking of you, and always here <3
How are you doing? You're always welcome to share any thoughts and feelings you're comfortable sharing too
@TabbyCat97
Yep, not great but today is a bit better.
Thank you, I appreciate that it means a lot to me. I just try to keep everything in mind although no longer having access to it didn’t occur to be before hand so that’s a bit annoying.
Oohhh, I’ll have a listen to them as well.
I definitely try my best, I don’t want to go backwards in my progress although it definitely isn’t easy at times.
Definitely can be tricky, when I’m not struggling they are bad enough when I am, they are even harder to deal with. I hope they are alright too.
Thank you.
Yeah, just makes opening up a bit harder, if there is ever anything that you don’t understand what I am referring to, just let me know and I’ll try and phrase it differently or just state it more explicitly.
Thank you. I’m alright at the moment though, last few nights haven’t necessarily been totally simple but I got through them and am still here. How are you doing?
@TherapyNeeded2022
I hope things continue to feel better for you 💜
I know you're trying so hard and trying your best ♡ I know relapse is so hard though and during recovery it can happen. But you're doing amazingly fighting and distracting from those urges.
It sounds exhausting and horrible to be having them so frequently :( are there anytimes that these thoughts aren't on your mind, and if so - does anything help them to not be? 💜
I get that (: I was a little confused by your first message when you were talking about not having access o: I didn't want to make any assumptions <3 thank you ^
Proud of you for getting through those tough nights and so happy you're still here 💜 Have you got your dog with you to help with things? :')
I'm awesome thanks you for askingg ♡
Always here
@TabbyCat97
Thank you
I know it can happen but I still really don’t want it to happen.
Keeping busy helps for them not to be so loud but otherwise there isn’t really anything else.
I guess you mean when I referred to not accessing cups, I was referring to if I had been on cups I would have been breaking the rules (like previously?) but it was close to working this time hence I mentioned something like I’m still here on cups. I hope that makes more sense to you, just let me know if not or if it was another part you were referring to.
Thank you, yes Honey is still with me and helps me a lot to get through things.
Glad you are awesome.
Thank you
@TherapyNeeded2022
I understand not wanting to relapse ♡ you're doing amazing with the distractions. The distractions can help them to not be just as loud, but I know they can still be there in the background and be super difficult to deal with. I'm sorry you're going through this tough time right now :( I am always here if you want to brainstorm sny other distractions if needed too <3
That makes sense thank you! I'm so happy you're still here and allowed back on cups :( those moments can be so intense and it I'm sorry it got close to you not being back. Did you have anyone to reach out to in this time? You deserve so much support 💜
How long do you have left on holiday? I'm super happy honey is with you. Crazy hyper doggoo hehe.
You got this, and I'm here for you ♡
@TabbyCat97
Thank you, I think I’m alright at the moment as there is a limit of what I can do due to being away and ill at the moment.
No problem, anytime. I’m happy now back then I really wasn’t though. Yeah, I reached out originally just to tell my friend everything and apologise but she talked to me throughout it and we ended up talking for several hours until I no longer was in such a bad place.
8 nights, leave next Sunday. Yep, crazy doggo 😂.
Thank you.
@TherapyNeeded2022
I understand that 💜 it's hard to find things to do when away and when you don't have access to all the things in your house/places around your house. I hope you have a lovely holiday and it goes okay for you thoughh
So proud of you for reaching out to a friend 💜 I'm happy they stayed with you also, thats amazing :) ~ its good to hear you felt better after too.
Aawweee awesome! 🐾 I hope crazy doggy isn't keeping you up too much! But dogs can be comforting and keep you busy too hehe :3
Enjoy your day, and thank you for opening up to me, even on forum ^ I know it can be hard when it's more public but you're doing so well.
aw
@TabbyCat97
Thank you, unlikely to be lovely or be okay though but hopefully it will though.
Thank you, it wasn’t originally me reaching out to them, more saying goodbye and thank you as I thought they at least deserved that, not that anyone else doesn’t just I knew they would pick up at the time.
She actually hasn’t been too bad as she has been working a lot while we have been out and about so she is usually half tired by the evening so sleeps at night luckily.
Thank you, I hope you did too. I appreciate you still listening to everything here. It definitely is harder I can’t lie, somethings I never will share here but I’m glad I can still talk to here for the majority of things.
I wish they did something like ATLs but for member who have aged up so they can stay in contact with their listeners, even if that way round was just until the member was 19 to give them time to find a new listeners. Just like how listeners can stay in contact with members.
@TherapyNeeded2022
I hope so too <3
awwe okies, I understand. I am really happy they did pick up and talk to you - you deserved that support in those hard times ♡
That's good that she's been working a lot and tired out so therefore not keeping you up :3 Willow deserves some good rest :)
I understand that Willow ♡ I am so happy you can share some things, but I get some things are just too hard to share on a forum post where people can see. I know private on pms with someone you have talked to and built up some trust with for a bit is easier :')
I wishhh for that too 🥲 that would actually be awesome! Atleast until the member is 19 like you say or even if it's just 6 months. It must be tough going to a new side and trying to find a listener all over again to open up to. I will always be here on forums, but get it's tough via here ♡
Have you been up to much today?
@TabbyCat97
Thank you.
Looking back I’m glad they helped me, at the time I wasn’t quite so appreciative.
Haha, yep definitely. She definitely needs her working life otherwise she is a nightmare, I found that out when I was staying at the family members a few weeks ago 😂.
Yeah, it definitely is easier in pms but forums is definitely a bit easier when I am talking to someone I trust already though.
Yeah, it definitely would be awesome, even if it for 6 months like you said as it would allow members to have that bridge when they lose connection to all their friends along with listeners all at the same time. I have actually found a new long term listener, however I don’t totally feel comfortable sharing with them yet, and it’s definitely hard starting all over again as I’ve told you so much across the time you have been listening to me. I appreciate you being here on forums though.
We went out in a village for a bit and went round some shops there, took all the dogs to the beach and just got back to start cooking dinner. What about you?
Have you been up to much today?
@TherapyNeeded2022
I get that <3 in the time it happens, it must not feel so helpful :(
Looll! You really did find out the hard way haha, I remember hearing about that - crazy doggooo 🤪 you will never have any energy with her lol!
I am happy we have forums to chat on, I would be so sad to lose contact 💜🥲
I get that :( I hope it goes well with your new long term listener, and I am happy you found someone. Hopefully it will get easier over time and opening up will feel easier too ~ I am proud of you for reaching out to another listener though, and happy to be here <3
That sounds lovely! I love little villages and shops hehe :3 and a beach sounds relaxing tooo :0 I hope cooking dinner went well, what do you like to cook?
I have been shopping with my cousins and I bought a book (finally :p) hehe ~ I have mostly been looking after cousins and cupsing. But I've been busier than usual
I've not been up to much today other than cupsing and doing some quotas lol :) how about you?
Awesome to hear from you, and apologises for the late reply <3 I accidentally subscribe to all the threads (oopsies) so get loads of notifications hehe. But trying my best to keep an eye out :)
@TabbyCat97
Yeah, something like that.
Yep definitely found out the hard way.
I’m happy too, thank you for setting this up again. I would be sad if we lost contact too.
Thank you, so far it’s going well. I will definitely still keep in contact here with you though but it’s nice to try and find someone I can talk to more privately as well.
It was alright quite simple really just put a few things in the oven really. Cooking isn’t really something I can do for lots of reasons.
That’s sounds nice as well. Have you been trying to get a book for a while then?
I bet you have a lot of quotas with all your different roles, hope they have been going well. Been at the beach again for me where we tried to get the dogs paddle boarding.
No need to apologise, I just wasn’t sure if you missed it, something had happened or anything hence I sent you a second message. You must get loads of notifications then! Once you are subscribed can you not stop them if you wish to?
@TherapyNeeded2022
That's okaay <3 I am so happy I set it upp!
I'm happy it's going well with your new long-term listener on the oldie side :) that makes me happy! I understand that totally, I'm really happy you have a more private space too
Cooking must be tough for youu :( 💜 I am glad it was simple the other day, you don't deserve any stress on holiday!
I havvee, I am now reading "slated" I have been putting reading off for ages hehe :p
I dooo have lots of quotas 🤣🤪 but I love them all, and it's great fun! The beach sounds relaxing :) I love paddle boardinggg haha, the doggss looll ~ do you have all your dogs with you? That's so funny, did you manage to get them on the paddle boards?
Thank you so much for the reminder, that's definitely helpfullz ~ I do sometimes miss them and accidentally delete the notifications (oopsies) so I appreciate your reminder a lot 💜
Yaass I can unsubscribe - however I am subscribed from so so many from different academy programs, and teams I used to be on it is just endless and I give up lol!
I will probably try sort them out soon though :p
@TabbyCat97
Hey hey, how are you? Not sure if you are around or not at the moment?
@TherapyNeeded2022
Hey hey! ♡ I am around :) just replying to previous message now
@TabbyCat97
You are awesome and we are awesome! :) Thank you for sharing
@TabbyCat97
That’s nice to hear!
I’m glad too, it’s a little bit annoying as they have an odd time zone for us so are usually around late evening until late morning ish time. However, as you have experienced enough times that works well for me anyway.
Yeah, not an easy thing that is for certain. I think my family would say the opposite but thank you anyway.
I didn’t know you were! Oooh, that looks good (definitely did not just Google). Reading can be good but I also know how easy it is to put off.
Fair enough, as long as you enjoy them that’s the main thing. Beach isn’t relaxing for me unfortunately, but I know why you would think that. Yep, all three are with me. Suprisingly one loved it, one would tolerate being on the board for short times, crazy doggo wouldn’t go anywhere near the board! I probably have some photos somewhere, if you wanted to see them?
Noted, I’ll keep that in mind for future if it has been a long time then. Just let me know if you would rather I didn’t. No problem though.
Ah, I wasn’t sure either way. I bet you have loads you are subscribed to then! I recall you being a part of a few different teams if I remember rightly. Little and often may be an idea?
Fair enough, sounds like a long task though!
@TherapyNeeded2022
Im sorry about the time zone differences ): that can always be annoying. I am happy some of the times work for you though 💜
I'm sorry your family don't understand ): it must be tricky for you ♡ always here if you want to talk about that but never any pressure.
Heheh yess I always put reading off! Or I get really into it and read all the time :p no in-between lol! I am excited to read though <3
I'm sorry the beach isn't relaxing for you ): what do you find difficult when ar the beach? ♡ I would love to see some photos awwwee how cuuttee! Hehe its funny to see how different dogs react! So cute 🥺
Okie dokie! Of course ♡ thank you for being so understanding and awesome as always.
Yesss I am apart of some teams :) I used to be on PAT which was forum based and i subscribed to a lot then hehe. Then also academy things are a big one, I get lots of notifications from those - ill probably get around to doing a clear out of them at some point 💜
Any plans for the day? How are you feeling? :)
@TabbyCat97
Yeah, it’s annoying but it works. Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be as many listeners that are in our time zone and accepting new member chats.
Thank you, but not really something I want to go into in forums.
I am exactly the same with reading! I’m glad you are excited to read though.
It’s alright. There are lots of unpleasant memories that go with the beach for me from when I was younger and I get overstimulated there just to add to it. Here are a photo of each of the other two, couldn’t get a photo of crazy doggo though, she doesn’t ever sit still long enough!
That’s alright, you are awesome and really understanding too, so thank you as well.
Ah fair enough.
I think we are going to another village a bit later on, not entirely sure yet. Had up and down times recently, but right now, I’m alright.
Any plans for today for you?
@TherapyNeeded2022
Hey hey! I'm so sorry for the delay 💜 I wasn't on cups much as I didn't feel well but back now :)
Awwee, I am happy you have them, but I totally get the time zone thing is hard ♡ are people on oldie side helping you get used to the rooms and things? :') I hope it's all okay over there, you deserve so much support!
That's totally okay, I understand :)
Awwee lol! I think its an adhd thing for me :p thank you so much, just need to motivate myself to start.
I'm sorry you have a lot of difficult memories there ): and I understand the overstimulation of the beach - thats definitely a difficult part of going there. Here for you 💜
Thank you so much for the pics, they loookk so so so cuuutee awwweee!! doggos :') they're so sweet ♡
Thank you so much for your kind words, I appreciate youuu
Are you home yet? Or is that next Sunday? :o
What are you up toooo? Sorry I've been gone :') 🐾
My only plaannss are relaxing and I hope the town went well - those aound cool 😎
You're pawesome! I am proud of you for staying in touch :)
@TabbyCat97
Hey hey! It’s alright, I hope you are feeling better now.
Yeah, I’m starting to get to know a few people that I can start to recognise. I don’t really use rooms on this account though even as a teen.
Thank you for understanding.
Ah fair enough, I hope you are able to get motivated soon to start.
Yeah, the combination of the two don’t exactly make me enjoy the beach.
No problem!
No worries, I appreciate your words too.
This coming Sunday I travel home.
Same as before really, going round different villages/towns and going back to the beach really. It’s alright, you don’t have to apologise. I’m not always the quickest anyway as I’m often busy or have no signal at the moment.
Ah, relaxing is good though.
Thank you for letting me keep in touch as well.
@TherapyNeeded2022
I am feeling better thank youu <3
That's awesome :) I am happy you're getting to know some people on here, and I'm glad you still have the ATLs from teenie land tooo ~ I hope they can help you out ♡
Thank youu 🐾 I will do hehe
I can understand that definitely :( they must make the beach a difficult experience.
Ahh okies ~ I thought it was sooner oops! I hope you're having a good time ♡ will you be travelling in your own car?
I hope the beaches go okay and you don't have to go to them too often :( towns sound funn thoughh - have you bought anything? Maybe it's just be obsessed with the gift shops hehe
I love talking to youu 💜
@TabbyCat97
*pokes to see if Tabby is around at all*
@TabbyCat97 i miss tabby sm
i miss teenie side
@SEMICOLON001
Awweee Semmiii 🤗 we miss you so so much! Would you like me to make a forum for us? ♡ I hope oldie side is kind to you 😢 you deserve so much support
@TabbyCat97 i would love u to make a forum tabby, yeah oldie side is kind but i genuinely need my teen friends my miss rome alex every1
@TabbyCat97
Glad to hear that you are feeling better.
Strangely enough I don’t see that many on this side but I guess that’s just I’m not around much at the moment.
Yeah, definitely doesn’t exactly make me love the beach experience.
Nope, 4 days time. Umm, I’ll let you believe that about having a good time. Let’s just say I’m looking forward to getting back. Yes, I’m in my own car but with my mum as well.
Unfortunately, my mum likes them so we go most days. Nope haven’t bought anything, but I did last time I was here if I remember correctly.
Awe, that means a lot, I love talking to you too!
@TherapyNeeded2022
Thank you so much 💜
Awwwee nooo ): I hope ATLs come by soon. You deserves lots of support and familiar faces.
I'm so sorry Willow 😔 I wish holidays were better for you, and family and things were better you deserve the world. You're an amazing person, and I believe in you. I believe you can achieve so so much in life and you'll go far friend ♡
Awwee, yeah it tends to be like that on holidays :( following people around and doing what they'd like to do.
You're the best 💜 I'm really happy we met :)
Whats today been likeee? Apologises for the late response - I know things are hard right now and I'm here for you ♡
@TabbyCat97
Thank you, there are some that come by just not that I recognise, there are a few I’m in contact with so sometimes I’ll ask them to join me so I’m not alone (as I’m not knowing anyone).
It’s alright, just something I live with. Thank you though. I believe the same for you too!
Yeah, definitely is the case.
Awe, you are too! I’m so glad I met you and talked to you, you were the first listener I had that actually listened to what I was saying.
Today has been difficult but that’s all I’m really going to say about today other than I’m sorry I didn’t reply immediately, I was avoiding cups (as I had to) for a bit. You don’t have to apologise about the late response though. How’s today been for you?
@TabbyCat97 hey hey! How are you? Hope you are alright I don’t think you’ve replied in a few days, I don’t mind just hope you are alright.
@TabbyCat97 ? Are you still able to access this post?
@TherapyNeeded2022
Hey heyy! ♡ I am still able to reply to the thread :3
I am super duper sorry I didn't let you know :') I have been on a bit of a semi-break the past few days and I haven't been around much as real life got busy. I would never randomly leave and never reply, I promise 💜 you're awesome, and I am happy we can contact heree
I am glad you have a few ATLs you know ♡ it is great they can come with you to rooms and things, I know it must be tough when joining a new place and not knowing anyone there :( I hope you have had some positive interactions so farr! Have you tried out the chatrooms at all? ♡
Awwee thank you so much for your kind words, I appreciate youu 💜🐾 you're so sweet, very understanding and respectful too, I am happy to be heree
I'm sorry you had to avoid cups 😔 it sounds like it was a really hard day for you. How are things going now? I'm here for you, and I know it's hard to share here, but you're doing awesome and I am proud of you for fighting through those tough days ♡
I am doing okaayyy ~ thank you so much for caring :)
@TabbyCat97
Hey hey! I’m glad you are able to still access it.
Ah that’s alright, just got a bit confused and didn’t know what had happened. Just let me know when you are back properly 😊. You are awesome too!
I haven’t on this account only my l, I don’t tend to use Chatrooms on this account even as a Teen.
I appreciate you too! Thank you, it means a lot to me.
Yeah, it was unfortunately there have been a few times like that recently. Things are interesting, let’s put it that way.
Awe, no problem. I’m glad you are doing okay though!
@TabbyCat97
*repokes Tabby to see if they are around at all?*
@TherapyNeeded2022
Hellooo<3
Tabby has been on break :') super duper sorry, it's been chaos haha! All is good though 💜
I willl! I should be back now, but as things are a little unpredictable I am sorry if I do poof for a few days here and there, but all should be okie hehe! How are you doingg?
Ahh gotcha! That makes sense <3 I hope everything is going okie on both accounts :') miss you loads on teenie side!
How have you been? 💜🫂 Did you get A level results? :0 I heard it was tricky this time and grade boundaries have gone back to pre lockdown oness weeee - sounds super stressful. Fingers crossed GCSEs go okay result wise... but from what i've heard it sounds tricky.
Hoping you're still on cups and doing okie ^ ♡
