New here
Hi everyone,
I’m new here and looking forward to discovering more about 7 Cups.
I’ve been dealing with mental health issues most of my life and now also with chronic pain from an invisible physical disability which has been aggravated for several years by Long COVID. I’ve been trying to get through it on my own since I live in extreme social isolation. I’ve been spiraling down into severe depression and so I know I need to reach out. It’s been too much and I feel like I’ve hit burn out….
I’m good at being supportive so I should be able to give as much to the community as I receive.
@MazMaze Welcome to the community :) As someone who also has chronic pain from an invisible physical disability, you're not alone! Burnout and depression is very very difficult and I'm glad you're reaching out here for some support. It's also really great that being supportive towards others is something that you're good at! I do want to let you know, though, that there's no expectation to have to give an equal amount of support every time you receive some; we're all at different emotional capacities and going through different things. Sometimes you just don't have the mental energy to engage as much, and that's okay! When the time comes and you feel like you're in a better state, you can always give back in your own special way <3 best of luck
