Happy Saturday! I am so happy to hear from you once again! 
How are you feeling today? :)
How has this week been for you? Do you have anything you would like to share about it? :)
I suppose today I just want you to know that you are important. 
You do matter and your feelings and thoughts and you are valid and you do deserve every bit of support, love, and care :)
I mean, really, we are just glad to have you here with us. You are what making this community as awesome as it is. We all are in this together and we can totally get through this together. I believe in that and I do definitely believe in you. ^-^
I do not really have any question here today but if you do have anything on your mind you would like to share I would be glad to listen. :)
Of course, there is no pressure on you to answer any of these questions or share anything. We really are just happy to have you here with us and you can stop by anytime just to say hi or to just sit around with us for a while and, of course, if you ever need a safe virtual hug ^-^

We are really glad to have you here with us!
I am sorry to hear that you are having a tough time like that. You are not alone in this tho we all are here for you and together we can get through this. :)

@crimsonLime6525
Sending a safe hug.
@redmark im somewhat better today had a really bad flashback yesterday and was triggered by a bad event tht just reminded me of my trauma also been accused of only caring about myself by someone who says they care but dont seem to understand how i feel or somewhat devalidate my feelings as i wont let my barriers down to let them in
Hey there @NevaehRose *offering safe hugs*
We are really glad to have you here with us!
I am really glad to hear that you are feeling better today! :)
I know that flashbacks can be really tough to deal with and I am sorry to hear that you have had to go through that. It can also be hard for others, for people who have not been through such things, to really understand how deep of an effect these things can have. I mean, I know that it might come from good intentions but sometimes people can really go overbaord with this whole "trying to fix you" attitude whereas sometimes really all they can do and all that you need is just someone who listens and is just there in general. At least it is possible that their opinion is coming from a misunderstanding like this. Have you tried to talk with them about this? - I mean, no pressure on you to do so, but it may worth a try if and when you may feel comfortable doing so :)
Either way, I do hope that you will keep getting better and that you will have a nice weekend :)
Stay strong and awesome!
@redmark i have tried yes t goes in one ear out the other
@redmark
Just saying hi for today, been really busy and not doing so well.
Hey there @friendlyLake5949 *offering safe hugs*
It is really awesome to hear from you around here!
I am sorry to hear that your life is so busy lately. I know it can be hard to deal with all that stress it brings with itself but I want you to know that we are all here for you, you are not alone in this :)
Stay strong and awesome!
How Am I Feeling Today?: I am feeling alright so far. As usual, I am an emotional person who has to go off over something every single day! I have had depression for 11 months now and it has been more 'severe' since November or December now. I have been waking up every single day feeling goofy ever since I have been in this current phase of severe depression. I also hurt every day from what a listener here on 7 Cups said to me back on May 6th, due to being so touchy that I go off over something every single day: "Dude calm down" "Just calm down you stupid piece of s***. I am here to help but im not gonna take these stories you pull outta your a**. If they are true you really gotta grow up. If everyone starts to annoy you then maybe you are the real f****** problem" "If you know the problem then look for a solution instead of whining about it" and "IS THAT UNDERSTOOD." I almost feel like he has destroyed my life!! A positive about today is getting to go bowling with my dad. We played only 1 game because he works night shift tonight and has to lay down a little bit before going to work, but this was still probably one of the best games I've ever played! I ended up with a total score of 147!!! I got 4 strikes and 1 spare! Got 3 consecutive strikes! On the way out, I stopped at the vending machine and got a bag of Cheetos, a Hershey bar, and some M&Ms! Another plus of today is that I found a new online name! I was on Primary Games and I was going to play Papa's Donuteria and I happened to see this game called Counting Easter Eggs Memory, a memory game and I ended up playing that, which was a decent game!
How Has This Week Been For Me?: Well, this week has definitely had its ups and downs. Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and so far today has been good. Wednesday and Thursday have not been so good. Sunday I went to the fireworks and tried a new McDonald's drink- a blue raspberry slushie. Monday, I went swimming at the rec center. Tuesday was just kind of a regular day. Wednesday was not good because there is this conflict with a check. Thursday, my mom had to go back to the doctor since she has a problem with her foot and when she came back and I asked her if everything is ok, she said it isn't for me to worry about which gets me to the highest level of anger! I am worrying sick about her foot problem! It possibly never going away! I have severe anxiety! Friday, I got to see my brother and we had a regular hangout day. I went to the public library as well. For supper, I got to get meatball subs from Angelos, which I don't normally get, but since Dad was working nightshift, my brother let us get something different.
Hey there @gibberishgiraffe77 *offering safe hugs*
We are really glad to have you here with us!
Oh....that is just rude. I mean, what the listener has said to you, that is.
I think it can be really hard for some people to really try to understand and support someone instead of trying to fix them. I mean, really you cannot exactly fix anyone, all you can do is help and support them while they grow and overcome their problems or, at least, learn to better cope with them. I think just being there for someone and listening is very overlooked lately. Either way tho, what that listener has said to you was really just rude. I am not sure what has brought them to tell that and tell it the way they did but I can understand that it had to be a real shock and I am sorry that you have had to go through that.
I mean, I am glad to have you here with us now! ^-^
You know, I have never played bowling in my life. It is not really that big of a thing in my country. We have few places and, I suppose, I could go and try it out and, honestly, you have made me curious now. It seems kind of easy but I am sure that there is just so much more to it that I do not understand just because I have not tried it yet. I am really happy either way that you have had such a nice time out with your father tho. :)
Also, I am happy to hear that you have found all those new games. It sure can be a really good way to just relax and recharge a little bit and practice self-care to play some video games too while just grabbing some snack. ^-^
I am really sorry to hear about your mothers foot problem. I can imagine it has to be really hard to you especially that it seems to kind of shut you out for the time being. I think it might be tough for her as well to deal with it and, sometimes, in situations like this we might not make the best decisions. Not that it justifies her answer or devalidates your feelings but it would probably be something to share with her. Your feelings and how it might be hurtful for you that she is not sharing details like this with you. No pressure tho, just if and when you may feel ready and comfortable doing so :)
I am glad to hear that you have had some really nice days throughout the week as well tho. I mean, trying out new things like that slushi or that meetball sub is always nice as well as just go for a swim or hang out with your loved ones. :)
I do really hope that your weekend is going well so far as well! ^-^
Stay awesome!
Hi @redmark
i have so much pain
Hey there @sensitiveShade5337 *offering safe hugs*
It is always really nice to hear from you around here!
I am really sorry to hear that you are going through so much right now. I know it can be really hard sometimes but I do really want you to know that you are not alone in this and we all are here for you :)
Stay strong and awesome!
I'm feeling very tired from a big trip I just had, but I'm slowly recharging by taking some alone time & some self-care! Thanks for the affirmation. You're just as important!
Hey there @betterchoices *offering safe hugs*
It is always really nice to hear from you around here!
Oh, travelling is always pretty exciting but also can be very draining to take big trips. I am glad to hear that you have got some time for yourself now to recharge and practice a little bit of self-care :)
Also, thank you very much for the affirmation as well ^-^
Stay awesome!
