I just came back to 7 cups of tea

Hi all,

I’m Shae. I used this platform back in 2014 and fell off for a while, but since I can’t afford the outrageous fees for standard therapy I’m seeking alternatives. Maybe one day I’ll be able to afford something, but for now I figure this works better than nothing. I’ve been off and on therapy and counseling in various forms and places since I turned 18. I’m currently pregnant and feel many emotions coming back to the surface. Maybe it’s all the hormones, but even so I know I struggle with anxiety and depression beyond that.

I know that mindfulness has helped in the past. I find guided meditation and yoga to be helpful, and even just simple breathing exercises. I have tried walking meditation and prayerful meditation. All are great, but I need variety so I have options to choose from.

I hope that wasn’t too long. Thanks for reading if you got to the end of this. I’m glad to meet the members here!

Sincerely,

Shae
