What made you come back to 7 Cups?

@Laura

This is my third or fourth time coming back. I have lived with overprotective parents for most of my life. After they lost one of their children I became the first born and only child. Pretty soon I had no independence once I got to college this past year. Now I started working in retail and the only thing that's keeping me up this job is the money. Every day I go I have an anxiety attack right before and that's gone by time I leave. I'm starting college up again in the fall but I'm terrified on how I will do with both a job and 15 credits of college courses. I want to quit but there's a part of me and that's pushing me forward telling me not to I don't feel happy and this constant state of worry and what to do. I need some help are you the chance answer this message.

Sincerely,

Kyra

I came back because I was very lonely, which was what cause me to join 7 cups in the first place. And already I have found one person I knew before who welcomed me back with open heart/mind, so that has been healing already. Also, I hurt someone here (at least only one that I am sure of), and if at all possible, I would like to tell that person that I am sorry about what happened, and try to be a better person myself, even if only on the site. By the way, this is a very encouraging thread, and I thank the person who started it and all the contributors <3

I just needed to vent about my experiences again. It feels good not to have to keep secrets anymore

I connected with a listener that made me feel safe opening up, and I didn't have that anywhere else.

I came for help for stress due to a medical crisis I was experiencing last year. I think I was in denial about needing long term help and care so it took me awhile to come back.

This is my first time on the app, but when my anxiety and depression was too difficult to manage I knew that this could help me even a little.

Well... this is my first time but i came back cause i loved getting the help i need...

The ppl here but also because this is a safe place to remain anonymous yet at the same time you can find support in amazing and wonderful. I'm truly lucky to have found this site and met such amazing ppl ☺

I always need someone to talk to besides my husband. So this is the perfect app for me.

This is my first time to come to 7 Cups. The reason I came here I overdosed and had to be put on life support. I can't get into a therapist until August 25th, so I thought I would try a online help. I am great full for finding 7 Cups. The person I talked to was very understanding and was a great help.
