Not having my nan there anymore
@Poisonlove
hey, i'm not quite sure what you mean, but i'm sorry for your loss. it must be hard to deal with, and i just wanted to say that you're strong for doing so. all the best :)
Challenge on Thanksgiving.... Slow down on eating. My family's challenge on Thanksgiving... Reducing of me as a topic. 
@sweetrosa1987
oh no, that seems super tough! also, this is really late but happy thanksgiving (and happy cupsgiving too!) for managing eating habits, maybe you could check out our healthy living subcommunity? i'm definitely not suggesting that you're over/underweight, though! i'm sorry to hear that you're treated that way but i hope the rest of your day went well :) all the best!
@windflowers Awwwww, thank you so much! I feel better. 
Follow me on 7 cups if you want. 😊
I find it really challenging to hear other people's stories and how great their life is going while I'm just a dumb girl who tries to hide her cuts.
@IIsoniaII you're not just "a dumb girl who hides cuts". You are beautiful and strong, and taking steps in the right direction! My holidays always kinda suck too. I'm kinda the "dumb orphan girl who has no where to go for the holidays". But you know what? We are both so much more than that. Comparing ourselves to others is never accomplishing anything, especially this time of year. (although it is totally hard to stop, I'm trying!) You are brave, strong, and loved. Someday you will have the holiday season of your dreams! Hopefully soon. ❤
@IIsoniaII Hugs.
@IIsoniaII
hello. i get that, i really do -- sometimes hearing about others' joy is tough, right? but i'm sure you're not dumb, because you're strong for continuing to get up every day even when it's tough, you're brave for gathering the courage to post this in the forums, you're amazing for being a part of our community and brilliant for simply existing! i understand why you'd want to hide your cuts, and i'm sorry that you feel the need to. i hope the rest of your week goes as planned! and happy cupsgiving :) sending loads of hugs your way
Not having a family. It's nice to be invited to other's holiday celebrations, but it just isnt the same since dad died. He was my best friend and only real family I had.
@Sj2016
hey, i'm so sorry for your loss. my condolences to you; it's always tough losing someone close to you, and i hope you've been faring well. i can see how it'd be different; you must've been really close, and i'm sure some/most days must be tough for you, so i wanted to say how awesome you are for continuing on your way :) it might be tough some days, but if it's not okay, it's not the end. happy cupsgiving! i hope it goes as you hope, and that it gets better
thinking about past, competition, emotions, rejection...sometimes I want to give up
@ahaana24
hello there. it's hard to think about those things, i know, and i can see why you'd want to give up -- but i want to say that you're brilliant and you're amazing and you're incredibly brave for continuing to be here every single day, even when it gets hard. competition, emotions and rejection are all hard things to deal with, and i do hope you've been holding up well! i hope it works out in your favor. happy cupsgiving :)
Being Alone is what i like most
@optimisticApple6364
hello, i'm glad to hear that you've found something that (hopefully) helps to combat whatever you're dealing with! best of luck :)
Drunk relatives telling me I'm a worthless piece of ****. Then coming to a 7c room for support and being pointed out as a troll.
@Figgy50 hugs! We can have our own room 😜 Family can really suck sometimes but you are amazing and uplifting and don't need their crap
@Figgy50
hello there! gods, i'm so sorry to hear that that happened to you. you're definitely not worthless; you're brilliant, you're unique, you're you -- and besides, everyone has a purpose in life, it just takes some time to find it! i'm really sorry that 7cups wasn't able to provide the support that you needed -- perhaps interacting more in the forums or feed would be another option for you? all the best, and happy cupsgiving!
I have a hard time being constantly around people and feeling "on" and trying to find something to eat with a weird diet...usually the stress makes me insanely sick and then family goes in for the kill with insensitive comments. Holidays yay
@imaginativeZebra6545
I feel pretty much the same on all points there. Hope your stress is lessened this year.
@imaginativeZebra6545
hey there. i'm sorry that you've got to face all of these problems, but as for the eating part, perhaps our healthy living subcommunity could help? stress is really hard to conquer and i'm sorry that you have to face it, but you're strong and brave (you've shown that by posting in the forums and by just being you) and i'm sure you can do this! i hope the holidays go in your favor. happy cupsgiving :)

I always struggle with controlling what I eat- not eating too much or too little
@pastelbeth
hm, that's definitely tough! getting a healthy balance is never easy, but i'm glad you're taking the initiative to control what you eat. maybe you'd like to check out our healthy living subcommunity -- perhaps that'd help? you don't have to, though. all the best, happy holidays and happy cupsgiving!
I have trouble enjoying the holidays and thinking negatively about myself instead
@Pie09
hello. i'm sorry to hear that; that can definitely be tough and cause you a lot of distress! nevertheless, i hope this holiday changes that and that you have a wonderful holiday -- you deserve it and so much more, after all. happy cupsgiving :)
