Hi, Everyone
Hi, I just found 7 Cups a few minutes ago, so I'm not too sure how it all works. Bare with me, please. I have been feeling so completely lost, but unfortunately, I can't afford a therapist. I thought I might try this out. I'm just trying to find a way out of this downward spiral that I'm drowning in. My life has always been far from perfect, but I used to be able to find the silver linings in most things. I've slowly gone into a very dark place over time. The decisions I've made haven't been the best, and some would just call it self sabotage. Every aspect of my life has just crumbled over the last 15 years. I've barely left my bed in the last few weeks, and I can't seem to find a reason as to why I'm here. I truly don't believe I have ever felt this alone before. I can't find any meaning anymore. My hope is to find a light somewhere. Maybe, I'll find it here. I just don't know what to do anymore. Anyways, sorry for this terribly long post. I really need an outlet, so I'm baring myself on here. If you read all of this, thank you. So much.
What your dealing with a lot of us are going through too. Posting sometimes takes awhile for a response but for the most part people here are caring.
