Hi, I am new!
Hi, I have just signed up here.
I am not much of a talker and it is kinda a bit of a taboo with the people close to me as well.
But for a long time I have been struggling with several different things that I have become more aware of because they are growing, and brewing since I cant really talk about them or work on them.
I feel like I really need something to talk about them but I feel a bit stuck because so many different issues on different areas have been bottled up for a while. I am going around in circles even at times I feel like.
I guess I need to try to maybe group them and work on them separately but since its so much its kinda overwhelming. So not sure where to start on here.
Any tips or experiences that you have to share are greatly appreciated :)
Happy to have made a first step by signing up!
Hey Michel, welcome. It's good that you're here.
I'm very new to 7 Cups as well, I'm finding it's very nice to be able to get things off my chest. Typing everything out helps me feel a bit of relief even if I don't find all the answers right away. Many people will offer support and insight and that's a good feeling when you don't have someone to talk to about it in every day life.
I have been using the private journal (on the website, go to your profile) to write some things, and I've been journaling in some of the public (public to members) communities as well.
I haven't tried a group chat yet, so I can't speak to those, but some time I'd like to try.
I hope you will find this a useful space as well, even just to get things off your chest. I know how it is to bottle things up until I amm too "full". When this happens, the smallest things will make me "spill over" if that makes sense. Just typing things out and posting them somewhere has really helped me in that sense.
When I feel overwhelmed, I go to the growth path section and it makes me feel a bit more grounded to do the exercises there.
Good job for taking the step to sign up here. I hope you will find better days ahead :)
@sunlight1991 Hi, also welcome then!
Thanks for sharing your insights. Interesting to hear from other people who struggle as well to learn about those stories, use them for yourself maybe, and just overal help each other out.
I did try some chats and have found it indeed very helpful to get things of my chest as well, in order to get rid of that overwhelming feeling I even made some progress by writing down some key topics/categories that I struggle with. So that I can talk about them or address them at least one by one instead of everyone all at once. Chatting really helped me reflect so far, so I really advice to try it!
When you said: there is a private journal. I was like: what! I need that. So I will give that I try for sure. Very useful to track progress and start by writing down the key topics/categories I want to work on and discuss moving forward. Thanks for the tip!
Here's to moving forward towards those better days :)
@Michelh1996 mom took my cellphone away forever just because I didn't answer her texs. So I feel so sad about that now 💔💔💔

@Michelh1996
Hey nice to meet you here, I am in kind of a same situation
@Michelh1996 You cannot solve all your problems in one day, I had to learn about that reality and accept it myself. Your post is also pretty general but I can understand your problems and I can kind of relate because I have had issues that were kind of similar, where I had multiple problems that I wanted to fix as fast as possible but I was not able to.
@WiseDecisions Thanks! I have realised that and have been chatting to some people to structurize these issues and make them less general and overwhelming. Publicly, I have made 2 forum posts about it that people can check out:
