How I have been feeling
(note I am sorry if my spelling is bad I have dyslexia)
I have been feel really down lately, I just gotten through a brake up and I am having a lot of anxiety. I have been having lots of dark thoughts, I would rather not say what thoughts for now but maybe another time. I know I need therapy but I am only a teen and don't get payed enough to pay for therapy. I feel like I cant talk to my friends cause all I am now is just sad, I really would like if I could have friends to talk to, or just hang out with, with out feel judged or feel like I'm in the wrong. I have lots things going on in my life where I cant just fix it, and I feel bad about not being able to fix this. I really just need some friends to talk to, or just some support to help with my overthinking and anxiety.

If you are a high school or college aged teen, you should be able to go to the school counseling programs. Are you in school?
If your parents have health insurance, all plans should offer counseling now. Do you have health insurance? If you are over 18, you should qualify for a good plan for very little that will give you counseling.
What do you enjoy doing? Can you volunteer to meet some new friends? If you volunteer with Seniors they make Great listeners! I found that out years ago when I was going through a terrible break up. They have been through life and have great wisdom. As for today, remember you are one of a kind and wonderful.

First of all, I am sorry that you are going through a break up and your feelings are completely normal. In fact you are not alone as lots of people feel and experience the same emotions that you do. In regarding to fixing things that you are going to run into situations that are beyond your control.
Finally, when it comes to talk with friends about these things, please note that 7Cups is a space space. We are also a judgement free zone.

@ava2025rose thank you for your honesty and you are never alone here, help is literally only a message away 🥰💜

Hey there, I get it.
I also have anxiety and overthinking, it ruins my day-
I just have a lot of free time on me.
We can be friends and talk without judgment, I guess you can DM me if this is an option in this website? I don't really know I'm a newbie.
