@SoulfullyAButterfly
I'm looking forward to feeling excitement for the day when I open my eyes in the morning.
I'm looking foward to getting back to Me. Being happy again and less anxiety. I would love to get rid of my anxiety and stop worrying so much. I would love to be able to go to more places without feeling overwhelmed.
@bestMaple2045 those are great goals for yourself! I hope you can achieve them!
@bestMaple2045 hey I know what it's like with anxiety what helps me is breathing in slowly and breathing out and also when I start to feel anxious I count backwards from 99.
I hope it helps and I'll always be here for you <\3.
Hello, I’m new to 7 cups, joined in the last hour :)
& 5..4..3..2..
I feel like a F****** loser maaan 😭😭😭 looonely, my brain cell is looonely. I can’t figure out moooost things. I am so brooooooke. I’m losing it. This is a safe space to lose it, right? Lose it then find it? 😣 my chest is tight and my confidence is at a super low. I never had confidence to help me grow. Only when it’s forced and I have no choice. Trying so hard to not live in history. Only problem is now that this year has been super kind to me and for the most part mellow, I’m 30 now with a beautiful girl and the best companion dog ever sleeping on my aunts floor because the plan was to save and make money doing what I like BUT damn I like so many things and a master of none. I like arts! Any! I don’t have any community though. I’m too slow to figure out the Amazon business, stocks, and realty because I haven’t started because I’m tooooo fucking scared of fudging up!! Whyyyyy can’t I get over this??? Or sing outside, play the drum outside, continue on painting, drawing. I’m such a failed LEo Leo Gemini 😭. You know come to think of it, I haven’t signed up for any classes because a B**** is Barooooke! 😭. [edited] I can’t get over myself and my wicked self loathing thoughts. I don’t like online classes, I can’t focus and I want to experience things in person, but not get into debt 😫 [edited] I don’t even have insurance… *deep breaths*
🙂🥲

Im sure you have heard this many times but your going to be ok! Yes things are not going good and your stuck in the past because you probably have so much regret for things you’ve made bade decisions on and your confidence is at an all time low because you have probably had people in your life mentally beat the crap out of you telling you about every mistake you’ve made or how your boss tells you he or she would have done it this way or that way. I know what your going through believe me I know! I’m 44 and have made really bad decisions in the past 30 years! But this isn’t about me its about you and I know your feeling like there is no getting out of the situation your in but know this, your day in the sun is going to come! As long as you have your health and you are above ground your day in the sun is going to come! My advice to you is take one part of your day and flip the script! I used to wake up every day feeling like I can’t go on and I don’t deserve to exist in the world. But wake up when go outside by yourself and find a place to sit for 5 minutes. Take in what is around you and breathe. Don’t think your a failure! Instead start thinking what is your one small thing you can do to change your day in a positive way. Don’t think about everything just one thing. Try that for a few days and see what happens. Maybe something maybe nothing but you changed your normal routine. As for your confidence I hear you! At one time I had plenty of confidence but and lost it all! I’m just now slowly getting it back but it takes time. Same for you. Just know and believe this time in your life sucks real bad but your time is coming! Your days of climbing back out of that dark pit your in have begun. Once your out of that pit you will start feeling better and you will make doors open for you. You will look back at these dark days and remember them because tough times like these are what make the best leaders. Hang in there! It may take a while but you put yourself on the right path! Start raising your head up your beautiful girl and awesome dog need you!
Awe thank you for taking the time to read this for this thoughtful reminder. I needed to rant, it’s all built up. Accumulating stress, today I had anxiety to west I was crying while in the train, terrible timing, no tissue around to wipe my snot haha. I called my GF, I felt like I needed to reach out to someone I felt I should feel vulnerable to, me being oblivious she was asking what stop I was on more than 2x, She Answered the video call in the shower, I look up at the phone (cuz I couldn’t bare to look at her crying for some reason.) and she’s already outside, then we lost service… sad, I put rock music to try to ease myself… had my head down, eyes scrunched up, my throat feeling constricted, my fingers rubbing on my temples, then BOOM 🤯 someone rubs on my knees and it’s her. That was the most sweetest thing anyone has ever done… I asked if I deserve someone that was the most loving reaction. Wow I don’t usually type stories but honestly this felt nice to do. ^_^ thank you again. Im grateful for all I have in my life. These feels I’ve been having are temporary
It will get better, May not feel like it today. Coming here and talking is a great first step. I went through so this last year. Chest tight, depression, just keep reaching out. You can do it!
@SoulfullyAButterfly having people who understand and learning how to cope better with life 🐾✌️🦘🇦🇺
I am looking forward to building my confidence and building my strength. I have a very supportive partner and we both are severely struggling with being controlled, judged, and guilted into a lot of things even if it's a schedule conflict that is known. Every happy achievement that couples always celebrate is taken away and I am left in tears because our time together that we always cherish is taken away so quickly by manipulation of those who take my partner and me for granted and constantly attack mr with looks, yelling and defiance so it looks like I'm causing allof this and my partner and I end up at odds which is what is the goal of others is. I have been talked about poorly to the point that my stepchild all of a sudden feels she can kick and slap and pinch me and hit me with something even after getting her a gift because its not what sje wanted. She is a beautiful good child but has been manipulated by my partners mother and only we see it which makes me feel like I'm the crazy one. This started because we had to move back in and his mom could not control me anymore so she has taken furthest steps even to slam the door and lock me out of the house in my bra. I want to heal my relationship and be the woman I know I can be. My partner and I deserve to celebrate and deserve to put us first at times. We always put ourselves last and it is causing a lot of anxiety and depression. I want to be a family that loves and listens and there is no such thing as normal in a family but, a blended family should never be involved in toxic b
