1) If you could try anything without consequences, what would you try?

I can be myself. Like I can be my Bisexual and bigender autistic self.

2) What idea overwhelms you at the moment?

I guess finally talking about my trauma to people I can trust but the same time... just scared that I will be stuck in self-pity and the punching bag for other people to inflict their own shame/guilt because of their own fear of looking inwards

3) What are you looking forward to this month?

I am looking forward to taking in Pride for being LGBT+ and I can start healing from trauma. next month will be one year since my biggest trauma. IDK what I can do since I know it's coming but maybe write a letter letting all my anger out and (safely) burning it. or something else

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I hope, that 7 Cups provides a safe space where you can be your bisexual, bigender, autistic self. And where you can safely share your story with all the ups and downs. We're here for you, to celebrate the pride month together, but also to listen and be there during challenging times.

1) If you could try anything without any consequences, what would you try?

So many things. I am going to go with traveling abroad

2) What idea overwhelms you at the moment?

I don't even want to say it! Instead I will validate the possibilities: I am enough. I will get where I need to go one day. I am doing my best.

3) What are you looking forward to this month?

Change! Learning new things. Leaning into a new rhythm.

Thank you for these questions

@wontwakewontsleep

Travelling sounds great! I'd probably even try being an astronaut... And yes, you are enough. You will get where you need to go one day. And you are doing your best.

I wish you a lot of positive new experiences this month!

1) If you could try anything without any consequences, what would you try?

Traveling the world... it's feels like a near impossible dream to be able to indulge in such an expensive whim.


2) What idea overwhelms you at the moment?

My financial situation and thoughts of the future i find it hard to find breathing space outside of survival and then im bombarded by the success of my peers and it makes me feel so small.

3) What are you looking forward to this month?

Vacation in that I won't be working and my time will be my own for a bit

@amusingEyes8460

Thank you for sharing! Traveling sounds like a good idea. And I fully understand how overwhelming it can be to see others succeed while you're just fighting to survive. It's not fair, and telling you that you shouldn't compare yourself with them probably won't help. But what I can tell you is that you're not alone in this situation. Many of us are fighting with daily tasks, it's just not as visible as the successes of others. But you're not alone. And I hope, that you find some time to care for yourself during your holidays.
