New here and can't seem to connect.
I used to go to Psych central sometimes for support and they ended it. I had a good therapist but had to move out of the area and it's not all covered on insurance here.
My sis and I have raised kids and grandkids. Now it's us away from them. Trying to save money to move to a place that has transportation.
I don't drive, she always has but her eyesight has gotten worse. She can drive at certain times of the day. I also watch the road for her!
I have some health problems and some head problems! Depression and anxiety. Been working for years on it. I still get triggered and sometimes have a panic attack in a store. We argue a lot and I get she's frustrated, because we are stuck at home a lot. She can't see to read a book or sew or do watercolor anymore.
Just now she said she is having a hard time seeing the new TV we bought a few weeks ago. She's getting treated but it will be a year of it . We don't know if she will see better like a lady we met who is getting the same thing.
It's been a year for her and she doesn't need glasses to drive! We are hoping sis will have same results.
Anyway y'all I'm feeling *** and trying to keep positive. I write ✍️ but as a hobby and I feel guilty about it. Even though she said not to.
It's very frustrating and I keep praying and vibing ☯️✌️ but I'm feeling alone and useless 🪴 right now.
Thanks 🙏🎶😻 for listening and maybe getting it.
I will check in to see if anyone has replied. I may change my name ( I didn't pick this one!) I wasn't sure where to post for myself. I posted to encourage others here that I met but don't know!
Have a blessed day either way 😊 😸 Hopefully this is a good place. Another writer suggested 7 cups 🍵 but didn't get here til now.
Hey, welcome to 7Cups! I'm Kiara. I have depression and anxiety too. I understand <3
You write? What do you write? I used to, many years ago. Had a RIDICULOUS amount of journals too hehe
Hello, hope you meet lots of people here, I love writing too, even though I don't write, I've heard creative writing helps to get out, whats in our mind, in a creative way, a poem, hit song, or best selling novel may be, you know most of the hit rock songs about issues, or you can write a script for a movie, keep on writing,
whatever happens its ok, you are worthy of all the happiness in the world, life tests us sometimes to see how strong we are, when life gets stressful I turn it into a joke and laugh at me, anyway just wanted to say hi, express yourself, your stories will inspire the world... keep on writing... turn your guilt into literature... may you and your sister be well and happy
Hi y'all 🤠 👋 Thanks for your kind words and wishes ☺️! I woke up just now ( after feeding the kitties 😻 and starting my day w meds and coffee ☕!)

As time goes by hopefully we will know each other better and I will share my poems and stuff with you 😺. Thanks for making my our morning 🌄. I will be back 😀 🔙!

It sounds like you’re dealing with a lot of uncertainty and stress, especially with your sister’s eyesight issues and your own health problems. It’s amazing that you’ve been supporting each other and finding ways to adapt, like watching the road while driving. Remember that it’s okay to take things one step at a time, and I’m sending you positive thoughts for your sister’s treatment and for you both to find relief soon. 😇🙏🏻
If you want to reach out with a listener I am here to listen and support 🤗 💖
Thanks Areinrose! Not sure how to reach out or tag people or message. Thanks for understanding and saying hey! I'll keep working on it 😉!!!
You could make a penpal chat :)
Also, tagging people is easy. Just add an @! So if you wanted to tag me, you’d write: @jesusredeemedme2425 Just don’t add an “!” at the end, because it won’t notify that person :)
I will work on my profile etc! Nice to feel heard by some really caring folks 😉!🌹✌️☯️✝️🕊️🎶😻
hey! welcome! my name is K.
it sounds like you’re going through quite a bit. i know sometimes it may seem like you don’t have people behind you, but you do. reach out to a listener anytime, and post to the community to foster more connections from people who relate :)
