Learning how good it feels to feel heard.

Sometimes things seem hopeless. Sometimes they seem impossible. But if you think optimistically and work towards the good, focusing on that, things will get better. You have to work for it, but things can work out. Just chin up, smile, and do your best.

I'm sober after 11 years of drinking fairly heavily. Tobacco free for a few months after 8 years of smoking.

I'm working on being more positive with the things I do have in my life, standing up for myself and what I know is right, and I'm almost done with my medical assisting training :)

This is a wonderful community. Thank you for creating an amazing place for people who need to chat can find people who are available to listen. I am very pleased to be a new member.

I trying to get organised

I feel lost.

I am a wondering soul.Show me the way and let me see the light a midst the clouds. I am lost. I need help. Unchain me. Cleanse me. Make me forget just help me forget all about it. The monsters that chained me, let them suffer. I must move on but how? How will I move on from something that made me disgusted with my own self. I didn't choose to be like this they all triggered it. They talk to me as if they know everything but they don't and they won't. I don't need those pity eyes I am so tired of them. They just make me feel less. I'm strong thats what they say if they only knew how shattered I am, how I mourn each day for myself, how unrepairable I am. I wish someone was there to know what happened to me but then no one knows except for the strangers across the screen. No one is actually there to understand what Im going through except to those few but then they are all across the screen. Why I didnt tell it then? Its because sometimes you have to sacrifice something for the greater good. So that you won't break anything so that you wouldn't be treated different, so that even if I know I am not ok they'll see Imok and there sweet smiles wouldn't vanish.

Sometimes I think life is cruel but it is not. Whats cruel is the people who are surrounding us. We are all a victim of something but then who isn't? Life is never been perfect for me and it'll never be unless I make myself one which needs a lots of steps and sometimes I am just tired of being a silent abused and exploited person.

To those out there dont be like me speak out your voice so that you may be heard so that you wouldnt end up like me still shackled from the ugly past that keeps me in the shadow. To be toonear to the light yet too far to break free from my shackles.

To those trying to grow,

Don't ever give up. Live to see another day. I'm still trying to change, and I will.

One thing I've learned on 7cupsis that you shape your own destiny, and that everyone hates Mondays. When meeting someone new, you can't go wrong with a smile. If you're anxious or upset, breathing deep always helps.

I have been learning how to control my anxiety. I discovered that facebook causes me anxiety so I started reducing the time I am there

I've learned that self harm hurts others worse than it hurts me. I know I'm not alone and that I have a whole network of people to support me :)
