Hello Everyone. :) I'm Jelly May from the Philippines. Just turned 25 last august 25. :D I can say that this is the best time of my life because I am loving myself, I have learned to accept some things that I used to despise, and I appreciate things more. I think i like what I'm becoming. :)
Have a nice day ! :)

Hi, I'm a freshly 20 year old guy from the southern part of the U.S.
the past 4 years has been a never ending rollercoaster of hell. Family life, friendships, and addiction (among others), Have all torn my apart.
I have pretty bad depression, self-loathing issues, self-harm, anxiety, and just overall lack of joy.
I hate pity, that's not my goal, I'm just tired of bottling it up.
Hi, I'm Etoah Antoine and I'm turning eighteen this September. Currently I'm struggling in school and its been days since I moved out of what I thought was home. I can't say how long I've had depression but before I had the chance to find out, I had already attempted suicide. I have tried to commit suicide four times and with each try, I lost a little bit of myself, eventually my emotions. I find it hard to express empathy or sadness, forgot the difference of a real smile and a fake one. I stopped going to therapy because it didn't help with my anxiety... I'm rambling.. In conclusion, I forgotten how to feel that special something.
Hello Everyone! I'm in my 2nd semester for my psychology degree, I thought that this would be a great way to help people and to learn from them as I continue with my studies and eventually be better with this profession. So anyone who needs help and is willing to help me be better at helping others just message me. Thanks a lot guys!!
Hey there @Montaza121 ! Welcome.
I am happy to learn about someone else who is studying psychology and wishes to use their knowledge here on 7Cups.
I've graduated psychology as well and I will be happy to guide you as much as I can in your career thoughts and wonders but also on your personal issues. We are all here to support each other for sure!
Hi everyone! My name is Kane!
I'm a listener here on 7 Cups as well as an ambassador on the listener side. That means that the time I volunteer on here is split between listening to members and providing behind-the-scenes support on the listener side.
I recently graduated from college with a degree in psychology, which will probably give all of you an idea of how old I am. I learned at lot from when I was 18 to now as a result of turbulent college years, but I'm glad to be able to utilize my knowledge on 7 Cups to help others!
Hi everyone! I'm 23 and am fairly new to this place. Im studying Ecology right now in university. The 20s so far are a very confusing time for me. I heard its okay to still not know what I want to really do with my life, but it drives me crazy! Lol
Hey there @mimameid ! Welcome.
Indeed, 20s are most times defined as the most confusing years of our lives. We need to stop being a child and figure out our path and become adults. So many decisions we must make in our 20s isn't it?!
But you'll get where you want, dear. In your own time, don't worry. You aren't rushing anywhere are you?
@cristiana23 Thanks. No I try not to rush. Actually I am doing quite the opposite, I think. Moving too slow.xD But it has given me time to think more on what I want to have as a career. I've been bouncing around with that for ages!
Coming up to 22, recently diagnosed bipolar, brand new to 7 cups.
hello, my name is Yissel and I suffer from not having self-confidence. I'm very insecure but I'm trying everyday to feel better about myself, and that's my goal, for me to say and actually mean it when I say that I love myself. so yeah, that's just a little bit about myself (:
Hey dear @yisselmorales ! Welcome.
I am happy to know you as I am learing you had the courage to confess this current path you are following in your life -- gaining a bit of self-confidence. I am sure it's hard and I wish you all the power you can get!
If you need any help or wish to chat, I am available. I've also struggled with a low self-confidence all my life and am still trying to get to a balanced point. We are all fighting together dear. :)
I once had very low self confidence myself. I have to realize daily that I have a life that's worth living.
Hello,
I am twenty-three old. I feel better than three days ago. I felt hurt by the ones I loved by their actions. They felt they failed me and I failed myself.
There are times I do not connect well with many people, especially others around my age (20's). It affected my jobs, school... Sometimes, it is a lonely world for me, even though family and friends are there for distant support. It would be nice to know if someone my age felt the frustration shake you to point of apathy.
I am open to hear from listeners and members and I to express myself further about my life.
Hey there @azulBerry2098 ! Welcome.
I am sorry to hear about your struggles. I am sure you are not the only one that felt sometimes so apathetic about life due to intense loneliness. I've had some periods like that as well so if you wish to chat further sometimes do try to connect with me. I will try to comfort you as much as I can. Happy to see you in the 20s family here on 7Cups!
