I may be leaving for a little bit
Hey for those who don't know me, I'm Adrien, a proud listener here on cups. I love being a listener it helps me learn new things about myself and teaches me how to support others as I used to be horrible at that. Thank you to all my friends and peers on here who have supported me (all may not be tagged I will tag more later) @StarrySkies1236 @DarkerPlaces @theboymoana @sweetpeach024 @LoveMyMoonflowers @Min7228
For those who know me, I have been trying to take a break from cups for a long time. It has been really hard for me to stay off of Cups because I enjoy so many people on here and it's a safe place. I will try my hardest to stay off of Cups as it is making my mental health go down as a listener. I don't have access to my M account so I can't vent which is making it a lot harder to do my job as a listener. I have also been beating myself up over some things. I have seen people who have been a listener for a shorter time than me and are doing better than me. I am losing my confidence and worthiness as a listener. I am doing my best but I feel it's not enough.
As I said it's not going to be easy for me to take a break but I am going to try. I may come back in a day, I may come back no later than New Year's (January 1st, 2024). I love you all and if I feel it's right I will start on Sunday. I will make an update post on Sunday telling you guys if it's a for sure thing. Love you and and thank you for respecting my decision <3

Awwe, thank you for the tag. 💜
I’m so sorry to hear you’ve not been able to access your M 😞 You deserve care and support, too, buddy and I really hope you’ll be able to access your M soon 💙 or whenever you need it. You deserve support too 💜
I understand you’ve been feeling like you’re not enough as a listener, because you’ve seen other listeners who appear to be doing better 😞 but everyone’s listener journey is unique 💙 and *you* as a listener, are unique. You are you. And you are enough, just as you are. 💜 I promise. You really are a great listener, and a sweet friend 💙 we appreciate the time and effort you’ve put into supporting others 💜
I’m glad to hear you’re going to try taking a break, and I support your decision 💙 You deserve to take time for yourself, and to just breathe 💜 I’ll miss seeing you around 🥲 but I’m looking forward to seeing you again in January/when you come back.
Love you so much, buddy 💙/p

@LoveMyMoonflowers I'm in tears. My listener journey has been hard and no one knows half the things I'm dealing with right now. Thank you Ni. I love you so much
@AdrienLovesYou23
I think all journeys are hard :'3 but we don’t travel alone 💜 you don’t have to do this alone, ever. We’re all here for each other 💙 and we are here for you too. Me understand it’s been hard but I’m so proud of you for still doing so well despite of that. I’m so proud of you.
I love you more buddy 💜
in spite of that* not despite of that hehe.

hey hey, it’s ok if you take a break. Taking a break is always fine. But comparing yourself to others isn’t always healthy.
Don’t lose confidence, Adrien. I’ve seen you in TCR and you are a wonderful person as a listener and generally. You are warm and kind to everyone.
And it's so much valid to not like every part of cupsing, or being here always. You come first, always. The fact you're able to recognise whats happening and find this space to talk about your current thoughts is immensely commendable.
I hope taking some time off helps you. You are welcome anywhere and everywhere, Adrien. Take care of yourself.
<3
@Keith22534 Thank you so much. I know comparing myself isn't healthy, but I can't help it hence why I'm going to take a break...or try. Thank you again

aww im gonna miss you :( i hope this break makes you feel better. wishing the best for you friend 💙
Take your time Adrien, don’t feel like you have to keep up appearances and fake things. I’ll be praying for you and know that even if it seems like you’re not doing enough, you are doing plenty and we see that. Love you loads and I hope the next weeks treat you well. ❤️❤️🫶🏻🫶🏻
First off, to advocate for yourself Adrien!
Its been great working with you so far, and I always smile when I see your bright self pop into a room. I think it’s great that you are taking a break because not many people can tell when they need one so good job! I’ll miss you, and be awaiting your return! Have a wonderful break
With love,
Callum ❤️

We haven’t met here, but I read your post and want you to know that taking a break is absolutely ok when you feel that listening is getting to be too much. Taking care of yourself takes courage and patience. We support you in doing whatever is best to feel better.
I’m not sure if you’ve worked with a listener mentor here, but I want to extend an invitation to you to message me anytime so I can offer you support, give you a safe space to process your experience or just chat about your challenges. Sometimes just having space held for you to process things can be so therapeutic. We’re all in this together …wishing you clarity, contentment and peace of mind 🙏❤️🤗
