Recovery? This is how I was made. I didnt ask to be depressed. I didnt ask for anxiety.. Tomorrow I will get up, go to work, come home. And maybe do it all again the next day.
@Lauren63
That's a great point Lauren! I like to think of recovery as getting back to a sense of normal, and if getting through the day is the normal for you, then I am happy you are already there!
@MonBon Thank you
@MonBon your sarcasm is noted. I live in a very diverse area. But evidently you dont. I wanted help. Not sarcasm. I wont ever try to talk to you again . Sorry.
@Lauren63 hello there.. was reading your thread.. I am new. Very new.. but just felt like I wanted to reach out.. um, ok well, I totally relate to your initial post. I feel the same way except I take it by the hour! Even a day is too much for me to commit to! 😕
@Lnlygrl77
Hour by hour is okay too! Only you know yourself and what you can handle <3
@Lauren63
?? I'm sorry Lauren, I'm a little confused. I genuinely am happy for you and think you made a good point. We even have a thread or two about "what recovery means to you" that I would encourage you to participate in! I am sorry if there was anything in my posts that made you feel judged or unsupported ♥
@MonBon You think going to work then coming home alone every day is normal? I guess you are worse off than me.
@MonBon Hey there @specialshell35 um you did a really good job responding to the other person, and also sometimes people are just going through a lot in their life, so they come here to 7cups
@specialShell35and you didnt do any for . Never mind just be deleted again. You have a great day.. everyone at 7 cups are great. No one
@Lauren63 hey there, whatʻs going on with you, if you need to chat IʻM available, it seems to me like right now your life is really hard for you.
@specialShell35 and you have made me feel worse. Your should have replied to Mon bin. Not me I dont know how to pm. No more. Everyone at 7 cups thinks you are an expert at this. Rap. I tried so hard to be a part. Only was treated with hatred. I will delete your wonderful app from my data. You and those who have been hurtful will not have a chance to screw me again. I was trying. You decided that my efforts were for naught. Mon bon . You gave everyone permission to assinate my character. I have never felt this alone. Except those 8 months when my mother was grieving. Every day I was told what a horrible person I am. You confirmed it. This has not been a good day.
I was diagnosed 6 years ago and in March this year I got very sick and my body and everything in it failed. I died but they brought me back. I went somewhere else when I died and I was at peace. I often wish that they had let me go because I still have the same struggles and the same condition to have to live with every day. It affects every part of my life and I often think of that place that I went and wish I was still there.
@5rivers I undertand you, be sick is hard, more when the pain is present in some parts of your body every minut, in some sense I think I get used to the pain and in some moments I don't feel it but its there. I feel very conected with your comment. I'm sure that there is a reason because your are still here with us, I wish you found the reason. One thought that always help me is the concept of impermanence, because the good things end but also the bad ones.
Yay, thanks for creating this neat list Mon! Keep up the awesome work. 
Suicide in not a solution....
@DebuggerNeo but it's easier isnt it?
You are biased, racist and just a mean person. Your minions have attacked me. Hope you are proud of yourself. I came here for help. Or just someone to listen. Instead I get hate. I am so tired of hate. I thank you for your time. No more forums, no chats, no listeners, no chat rooms that I cant get in. No more.
@Lauren63 Seriously?
@dynamicBalsam4450 everything has been hard here. And what do you mean by seriously? You really have convinced me. I hope everyone at 7 cups has a great day. Im dealing with the fact I cant get a hold of family in the hurricane area. You dont know how that feels. [MonBon edited for unsupportive content]
@Lauren63
Hey lauren! I am sorry to hear about your family. It can be very stressful to not know whether or not your family is okay.
@MonBon screw you. You gave everyone permission to hate me. I have enough stress right now. I am leaving. Find someone else to assinate their character. By the way they are ok. You have chosen me to hate. I am going. You have done your best to get everyone against me. I was hated before. This has taken it to a new level. Sorry.
@Lauren63 Okay, sorry if you feel that way. I'd like to reach out to you once my listener account gets reactivated. Hope your family's okay there.
When we are talking about recovery then let me tell you you really want to heal your wounds just cut of toxic people from your life. All negativity too. And love yourself no one is going to do this for you. You should be your one man army. You have to do it by yourself you have trust yourslef. Inner peace is the best medicine.
