I've learnt that I need to take care of myself as well as other people
@Misty6wishes7 Self care is always super important
I hope you are doing well and wish you all the very best!
I don't know what I've learned. Only 30 steps in, I mean I guess I know I'm not alone...
@WhatOkayWhatever You definitely are not alone! You will always have all of us here to support you Even a little step forward is meaningful
Step 220. I feel like I am nearing the end of my depression, but I also feel like my battle has just begun. I always assumed that when I would (mostly) recover from depression all would be good and life would be fun again. Now I'm realising that my depression is pretty much the effect of a bigger cause and I have to really get to the root of my problems and work on solving them if I ever want to be truly happy. If I don't ''solve'' the cause of my depression the cycle will just be repeating itself over and over until I can't do it anymore.
I think this is the most important thing I have learned so far (also my biggest post to this thread so far lol) and I have a lot of things to sort out.
@Cheeney That's interesting. I think I have a similar issue, like the depression is really about wanting more intimacy, feeling afraid/not knowing how to ask, not feeling like I deserve or am capable of being happy and loved.
@skinicki I'm glad you know where your depression is coming from. Hope you can find a way to resolve your issues and be happy.
2590, nothing learned new in the past 10 steps.
@TortueDesBois Wow! Congratulations Just keep at it and don't give up!
I only started here a while ago, but I have learned that on my "bad" days, that I need to just relax and clear my brain of any thoughts except for my breathing😇
@blueOcean5513 Welcome to 7cups!! Taking a moment out ot just breathe is always super helpful! I hope you are doing well and wish you all the best!
I learned that being nicer to people really gives the heart something to smile about, and that there really is a beautiful world out there filled with beautiful people.
@BooBearBaby23 Being nice and friendly is super great and it really does make you feel a whole lot better! That is such a lovely message, thank you so much for sharing it with all of us!
The first steps have taught me that people are willing to listen and I shouldn't be scared of that
@littlelioness33 The lovely listeners here will always be there for you, whenever you need it! Remember you are not alone, there are heaps of people that care!
The milestone I made today was being able to tell someone they annoy the shit out of me. It's been going on too long and finally today I told them how I really felt. I feel better now that it is off of my shoulders.
@Okanuuki I'm glad you feel better now
Feeling very fragile today as I go along the path I am more aware of my incredible sensitivity
@conscientiousScarf5008 I hope you are feeling better! Remember you have all of us here to talk to you when ever you need it! Wish you all the best
