Introduction! 💕
Hi everyone! My name is Sara, I’m 24 years old, and I live in the U.S. I joined 7Cups to both receive and provide support.
I’ve been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, ADHD, and major depressive disorder. After 12 (yes, I counted!) med changes, 2 hospitalizations, and 36 rounds of TMS, I’m finally starting to feel the slightest bit better (I think the warm weather is helping, too!).
On top of all of that, I lost my dad to cancer on March 2 and have been struggling with the grieving process. Fortunately, I have a therapist to help me through this, as well as a young-adult support group for people in the same situation.
On a lighter note, some more things about me are that I love Noah Kahan, Fleetwood Mac, Harry Styles, and Bob Dylan. My favorite TV show, by FAR, is Chicago Med, and my favorite movie is Dirty Dancing (I got to stay at the cabin where it was filmed since it’s in my state!). I enjoy reading, gardening, and spending time with my loved ones. My favorite hobby is postcrossing.
I think that’s about everything! I’m so happy to be here 💕

Hey,
Firstly my condoles to you and family. I lost my grandad the same way a few years back.
I’m glad you’ve a therapist who helps and that you’ve found cups!
I’ve had a similar experience with ADHD, autism, BPD. Idk if it helps to hear, that others are in a similar spot but I’m glad you’re feeling a bit better and I’m wishing you all the best with that.
Hobby wise I’m sporty, I play a lot of racket sports, game a lot too. I really like the film good will hunting but it’s certainly a change of vibe to dirty dancing! Also, what is postcrossing?
@sarabethhxoxo Hi Sara, it’s really nice to meet you, and I’m so glad you decided to share this here.
I’m so sorry for everything you’ve been carrying, especially losing your dad so recently. 😢
Grief on its own is incredibly heavy, and you’ve been navigating it on top of generalized anxiety, ADHD, and major depression, as well as so many treatment changes, hospitalizations, and TMS. That’s a lot for anyone to go through, and it makes a lot of sense that the process has felt really hard.
At the same time, it’s really meaningful to hear that you’re starting to feel even the slightest bit better. Sometimes those tiny shifts are huge victories, especially after a long stretch of trying different meds and treatments.
I’m glad you have a therapist and a young‑adult support group around you.
You deserve all of that support and more while you grieve and heal.
I also really love how you shared the things that bring you joy. Your taste in music is amazing, Noah Kahan and Fleetwood Mac especially, and getting to stay in a Dirty Dancing cabin sounds like such a special, core‑memory kind of experience.
Reading, gardening, postcrossing, and time with loved ones all sound like such gentle, grounding hobbies, and it’s beautiful that you still nurture those parts of yourself despite everything you’ve been through.
Thank you for opening up so honestly and letting people see both your pain and your light.
You come across as incredibly strong, thoughtful, and caring, the kind of person who will offer a lot of comfort to others here, even while you’re still healing.
I’m really glad you’re here, and you don’t have to go through any of this alone.
Welcome to 7 Cups!
