Do not feel shy, say "Hello!!" and what is your story? Please use this space to introduce yourself to our community.
Let me introduce myself-
Hello, my name is Obs. I joined 7Cups in July 2017 as a listener. I got to know about this platform from my friend and I loved the idea of listening and supporting others. I think all emotions are valid. Everyone has own struggles and how it makes one feel, only the person who experiencing can understand it. But you are not alone. If you need some support and a compassionate ear to hear you. You can count us.
Now it is your turn!!

Hello!
My name is Meghan. I'm 23 and just struggling with transitioning into adulthood. I'm pretty introverted, but I work a couple of emotionally exhaustive jobs. I'm not comfortable sharing my struggles and feelings with my friends and family so I though I'd give this a shot.
@ItTakes2ToMango I understand where you're at. I'm 25 and feel the same way..

Hi my name is Larissa. And I joined 7cups because the last couple years have been really hard for me. Mid 2015 my mom got diagnosed with cancer, and september 2017 she died. I was dealing with a depression before she got sick and when she got diagnosed it only got worse. My mom has always been my rock. I dont speak to my dad, and my familie is kind of hard to deal with. I started working only a few months after my mom passed away. And my deppresion and anxiety is getting worse again. I just feel like I cant go to work but ill force myself every time and it breaks me, the people at my Jobplace dont know anything about my mom,deppresion etc. And i just really want to quit because of the things they keep saying. Btw to let you know a little bit more about myself. Im 16 years old and live in The Netherlands. I hope I can talk to people here and feel less alone x
@PeachLarissa77 Hello there. I'm really sorry for all that you are going through. I can't imagine how you must feel lossinl your only friend and main caretaker! I send a bunch of hugs and just remember that your mom would be happy to know that you can conquer your future and that the small talks you two had will be forever in your mind working like a little motor that will push you Everytime you feel lonely.
Hey, Im Emily and lets just say Im super awkward and cringey so sorry in advance.
Andyways, I joined 7cups because for the past three years Ive gone through things that nobody, especially not a 10yo should go through. Its been three years since thats happened (do the math Im 13 lol) and it feels as if I cant escape this stuff. Im depressed and have anxiety, yet my mom refuses to listen to that. The guy who molested me is -still- dating my mom and her entire family knows about it. Theyve kept it secret from me thinking I wouldnt find out, but here we are. Right now Im considering moving in with my dad and hoping for the better. I get to move to a new school (yay, not really). Which sucks because I finally made actual friends that support me and now Im moving again. My mom calls me selfish and says I dont understand anything shes been put through because of me, so I guess Im selfish now.
But, anyways, thats just a few reasons why Im here. And now idk how to end this. So yeah. Bye I guess
@Emily1025 .I'm so sorry you hear what happened to you . I have a daughter who is 14. You deserve to be protected and cared for. I hope the move to your dadsd brings wonderful things. Remember you can still be in touch with your supportive friends throigh text, Skype, etc. I hope I'm not overstepping, just wanted to express my support for you.

@Emily1025 So sorry to hear that Emily. I hope you grow fast so you can take the path is right for you. Try to get involved in school activities like a sport or library help just to have something else in your mind and keep you occupied. If it's anygany to know, IlI'keep you in my prayers that go I don't know we're but pprpre sure someone listens. Hang in there.
Hi everyone, my name is Amber and I joined a few days ago. I try to be emotionally intelligent but still feel codependent, apparently. It would be something much easier if I didn't care. Ha ...
Hi Im DuraCell and I just joined 7cups a day ago. I joined 7cups because I am currently dealing with my own problems right now and I just needed someone to talk to aside from my friends. It feels good when someone is there to listen to you and not judge you for what you are currently experiencing. Now, Im a newbie for a listener but I will try to give my best in listening and guiding other people as well because it really pays when someone is there to listen to you.
Hi everyone! You can call me Pine, and I've just joined. I'm experiencing a lot of work and family related stress on top of my normal depression , and it feels like everything is coming to an unpleasant head. I've spent several nights and a few days in recent weeks curled up on the bed alternating between crying and sleeping and raging internally. The weird juxtaposition of everything is leaving me at a loss for how to deal, to the point I cant even manage myself in the things that usually bring me peace. My body, mind, and soul are simply exhausted.
@impartialPine9681 Hello Pine...life can be all that sometimes,right? Am the same. Am a mess in my mind right now. So I know talking or sharing my issues help me to see that other people have it worse than me and that there are things that I can't definitely change but will put all my effort on what I can change- and that will be to just get up and try to be the better me because I definitely know someone is watching me and living by my example and not for what I say.
Hello. I joined a few days back and im just now getting around to introducing myself. My username is Roquin. My mom was a class 5 hoarder . So my living space resembled the city dump and smelled about as bad. As such I grew up trying to hide that aspect of my life from the rest of the world. Keeping people at a distance is second nature for me. I haven't had more than a handful of people that I would consider close enough to reveal the big secret to. A myriad of problems continue to plague me and my family from cancer to car accidents relationship problems and depression. It seems the list never ends.
@Roquin I hear you. Just try to be you .Free yourself from chains that do not belong to you. You are a different person if you decide to be and that doesn't mean that you have to change your family. Stand proud of every little thing you accomplish and don't be ashamed of your family. They gave you life and care the way they understood was right; but remember, they are their, you are working in being the best of you.
