🌱 New Here
Hi everyone,
I’m new to 7 Cups, and I just wanted to say hello.
I joined because I’ve been feeling pretty lonely lately and struggling with depression. It’s been tough carrying it all by myself, and I thought maybe reaching out here could help me feel a little less alone.
Hi @sensitiveTree9185 ✨
Welcome to 7 cups! I am sorry you have been feeling lonely…we are here for you
@ElenaDeMonaco
Thank you so much
Thank you for sharing @sensitiveTree9185
Sending you lots of good vibes ✨
Welcome. I have been here less than a month but I hope you find this a welcoming, safe and helpful place to be like I have.
@sensitiveTree9185
I’m glad you said, Hello!
I’ve been here a little over a month, and I have found the 7Cups community to be amazingly supportive. I wished I had known about it when I was struggling to find a foothold in life! But that’s okay, I have come to really lean into the idea of “good enough”.
If you’d like to share a little bit about what’s been going on … I’ll be here to listen.
(Um … actually it’ll have to be tomorrow, since bedtime is approaching 🙂)
@FaithfulScout Thank you so much, your message truly made me feel seen and welcomed 🤍 It’s comforting to hear that you’ve found support here, and I really love what you said about leaning into “good enough.” That mindset is something I’m trying to embrace too, little by little.
@sensitiveTree9185
Little by little is the way to go 🙂! One of the problems I faced in my past was trying to move ahead in life by leaps and bounds. See you around 7Cups!
Welcome!!
Statistically speaking if we were to gather people struggling with loneliness and depression we could easily get an overpopulated multinationally inhabited country... So... You really aren't alone! Oh! And since I have been there in the past I can safely share the fact that when you reach rock bottom the only way out is up!!!
Hope you're holding up fine and don't hold your breath - better days are before you!!
Take care!!
@STheBlue Thank you so much for this message, it really lifted my spirits 🫶 You're absolutely right… it can feel so isolating, but hearing it framed that way truly reminds me that I'm not alone in this. And your words about rock bottom hit home, I’m holding onto that hope that better days are ahead.
Hi, I’m new as well. But you’re definitely not alone, I had the same reason for coming to this. And everyone on here is gonna get through it. If you need anyone, I’m here 🙂
Hello @sensitiveTree9185
Please feel free to reach out directly and share your story with us. Would love to get to know more about you and what struggles you maybe facing. We are here to support you 💕
Hello!
I have also been feeling lonely for a while (after a breakup), and this site has helped me a lot. But I want to remind you to also seek out connections in real life. Making friends and trying to be active. I am emphatically not good at it myself, but I am starting to realise that it's an important part of the way forward, for me at least.
@drowsycat Hello, and thank you so much for sharing that 🤍 I'm really sorry you've been feeling lonely too, breakups can leave such a deep ache. It means a lot to hear how this space has helped you, and your reminder about real life connection is something I truly needed to hear. It’s not easy for me either, but I admire your self awareness and courage in taking those steps. I hope we both keep moving gently forward, you're not alone in this 🌱
Thank you, and as I forgot to say: Welcome 😊
I like your use of 🌱! Let me know if it doesn't apply to you, but I find that it's easy to fall into the trap of trying to fix everything from inside, just by thinking, when what we really need might be to give ourselves the right conditions to grow 🪴 For me, that means working on my awful routines, exercise and social life (although I'm somewhat putting off dealing with the last one), and trying not to always take my emotions so seriously. I've also found that meditation can feel like a much needed relief, as the exact opposite to digital distractions.
Strive to give yourself the soil and sunlight you need 🌻
@drowsycat Aww, thank you so much for the warm welcome and for sharing something so beautifully put 🌷
@sensitiveTree9185
