10 Truths
I did a little game of 10 truths about myself with another listener, and found that it was a fun way to learn about who I was! I think it would be fun to get even more people involved so that we can actually get to know one another in the 7cups community! My 10 truths: 1. I am gender-queer (feel free to ask) 2. I am a 18+ year dancer :-) 3. I believe in everyone no matter what 4. I dont have my life together, but im working on it 5. I see myself trying to go to college soon! 6. I love music as a whole 7. I have 2 brothers and a sister I have never met 8. I love to help others 9. I believe in the good in everyone 10. I know I am not perfect, but im ok with that! You dont have to share 10, but I hope you can share at least one thing about yourself!
Hi, 1) I have been in an abusive relationship for almost 3 years now, with a guy who was at first my PhD advisor. 2) he's married :( and his wife is also a professor in our field. 3) I have been severely depressed ever since this relationship started... I feel like the worst person in the world, my self love is gone 4) because of this secret, my life is full of lies, including to him because I fear his reaction to everything I say, and I fear he could damage my careeer 5) many times I thought of dying, to end the pain 6) I have twice hit myself up to the point of getting my face bruised, after he told me horrible things 7) I wish someone would save me from this situation, because I have been unable to get out 8) I dated other people while I've been with him, to try to cut my connection and dependency, but I didn't give the other guys a chance... He doesn't know about it :( 9) I am afraid of him, and I am afraid what he says about me is true (that I'm the most selfish person in the world, we only started our relationship because of me...) 10) it still hurts me so much when he hides that we're together
that sounds very difficult. maybe you could talk to a trusted friend or family member? i hope things get better for you soon! best wishes! thank you for sharing :)
I, too, was in a phd program where this was an issue. When it all came to light, the faculty showed ENORMOUS support to the mentee/student. Her career was absolutely protected. Any attempts to sabotage her would have been seen as vindictive. But, it has to come out in the open to have that protection. Otherwise, his vengeful acts will be seen as necessary punitive actions. You can get through this.. Be strong. And remember... He cheated on his wife...that part of his embarrassment is none of your concern. When you're ready to be rid of him, you'll find the strength, resilience, and resourcefulness.
1.) I was the little girl without a childhood who had to grow up very fast. 2.) My parents were divorced for years before moving back in with one another: currently living together full of hatred, not going a day without fighting. 3.) it's my fault. I am to blame for their living situation. 4.) I do not believe in love nor will I ever take a chance on relationships. Happy endings do not exist. 5.) nobody seems to think there is anything wrong with how I am, so I have gone undiagnosed but I truly believe I have depression. Chronic depression. If not than the only other explanation is that I am crazy. 6.) I have always been like this, but to think of a trigger: it could be the death of my grandfather 3 years ago, in addition to my family life. 7.) My mother has cheated on my father several times leaving me to keep it a secret, or I'll be the one to find out. She is a compulsive liar, and steals money. It is believed that she is bipolar but has gone undiagnosed due to lack of cooperation. 8.) sometimes I drink because my depression leads me to feel self destructive. And sometimes I self harm- I think because I hate myself so much and it makes me feel like I'm punishing myself, like I deserve the scars. 9.) I am awful at being Social
Continued... 9.) I am not good at being social and have never been upbeat or been that fun person that everyone wants to be around- so that leaves me pretty alone and unloved. 10.) I'm so tired of feeling so messed up, and I just want to feel better.
i know what its like to have to grow up fast. i know how hard it is to not have a childhood. its tough. im so sorry you have had to go through that. *hugs* i hope maybe someone will realise what you fear and you get the help you deserve for depression. i wish you all the best! thanks for sharing :)

Do you have sexual urges constantly
This is really inappropriate you're an adult and they're a teenager, stop harassing them because that isn't the point of this site.
@Guyno1 I know that you want to help but please choose your words carefully. Thank you
dude...wtf
dont try to be anyones perfection. stay true to yourself. you are you for a reason. :) thanks for sharing
I have the opposite problem where I almost never trust people and do my best to keep them as far away as possible because it makes it so much easier to keep pain inside if you have no one to tell. But it gets extremely lonely at times and often makes it seem like no one would care even if I told them.
