Hi, new member here. My name is Melora (not my real name) and I joined because I'm having issues with my living situation. It's a tense environment with my aunt-in-law and my fiancee, and while we're set to move out on July 1st, there's been a lot of problems.
I grew up with crappy, abusive parents who didn't teach me how to live. I've been learning a lot of my adult skills in a 4 month crash course. This has caused tensions between me, my fiancee, and my AIL. I'm autistic and have BPD, and I've been trying my best to learn and grow but it seems like nobody notices how hard I'm trying - just my failures - and getting yelled at for my failures is severely triggering for me. I understand that people have the right to be upset with me but I can't handle that level of intense emotion projected at me.
I'm really hoping this community will be good for me because I need to make it through June.
HI

Hi I'm Ashley and I'm going through a lot and I don't want to hurt myself in any way.I feel lonely most of the time and I don't know how to talk to people in person and I need help with that.It's really hard for me to go through my life cuz I'm afraid the past would come back to me now and ruin my life even more.
Hi lovely people!
I just just joined today. Love this program so far and I am very happy to give my time and energy to supporting others.
Happy day!
It's the middle of the night, and I have no idea what I'm doing here. Usually a fanfic fix or throwing myself into revision is enough to get my mind off things, but not so much lately. Anyway, I just need some advice on a few issues. Nothing earth-shattering, or life-changing. The usual teenage drama, I suppose, but it's hard to have that kind of perspective when I'm right in the middle of it.
Hi I'm Tanya,
I joined here while looking into online therapy. I struggle with anxiety, depression, and I have difficulty empathizing with other people.
@ColaBubbles Hi Tanya. I'm Vincent. Welcome to 7 cups. I have similar problems too, minus the stress and anxiety. I hope you can find support here and feel better.
Regards,
Vincent

Hi,
Everyone I know calls me Kiwi. I believe I suffer with depression and anxiety. But I dont know. Im confused honestly. I want to better myself, and become one to open up to other people but I just cant seem to do so. I learn better from others. So if anyone has motivational quotes. Or just wants to talk. Im here. Just like I hope you would be for me, just to listen to my story and get to know me.
@discreetKiwi4395 hmm lets see if i have any inspirational quotes stored away somewhere...
"don't ask yourself: is this normal? instead, ask yourself: is this healthy? is this good for me?"
"You dont have to control your thoughts. you just have to stop letting them control you."
In Japan, broken objects are often repaired with gold. The flaw is seen as a unique part of the object's history which adds to its beauty and value. Consider this when you feel broken.
"Maybe you have to know the darkness before you can appreciate the light." - Madeline L'Engle
"You wake up every morning to fight the same demons that left you so tired the night before, and that, my love, is bravery."
"depression is when you don't really care about anything. anxiety is when you care too much about everything. and having both is just like hell."
"Dance on broken glass, build castles with shattered dreams and wear your tears like precious pearls. Proud. Strong. Unshakeable." - Anita Krizzan
"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning how to dance in the rain."
"Until you're broken, you don't know what you're made of. It gives you the ability to build yourself all over again, but stronger than ever."
"A queen will always turn pain into power."
"Life is fair because it is unfair to everybody."
"Everything you want is on the other side of fear." - Jack Canfield
"True love is finding someone you're willing to give up everything for, and who is willing to give up everything for you, and knowing that you're willing to do that for one another, even if neither of you ever asks that of the other."
"You didn't do anything to deserve this. This is happening to you because you will be better because of it."
i have more if you want them :) also i'd love to chat with you, but i don't know how... let me know how you want to chat :)
@Art22 I liked this one "Until you're broken, you don't know what you're made of. It gives you the ability to build yourself all over again, but stronger than ever." It's relatable for me.
@discreetKiwi4395
I totally get where you are coming from and relate 100%
@discreetKiwi4395 hi I
Long one here. I am currently dealing with fighting CPS to get my only child back. He is 2.5 years old. I have always given him the best through my most depressed times. Would drag myself out of bed just to put a roof over his head and give him all he needs. All that happened was that I was misdiagnosed with depression and anxiety while I actually had bipolar disorder. This caused me to be improperly medicated and I had a nervous breakdown. I had the breakdown when I was alone and had left my son with his father. I would never put him in danger or hurt him. So I was hospitalized and the next thing I know CPS is telling me I cant be with my son unsupervised. He is staying with my boyfriends family for now but they are not yet approved supervisors for me. That could take another three weeks and its already been over a week since I have seen him. I am properly medicated now so I dont have clinical depression. However I am struggling with the crushing pain of not being able to be with my baby. He probably thinks his father and I just abandoned him there. My heart has been ripped from me and there is nothing I can do. Sorry for the lengthy message
@MissingCas1516 Sorry for you maam. Be patient and hope for the best. Just think that god is with us in our tough times and pls. don't give up and don't be tense. You can Video call your boyfriend and also talk to your son, if possible. Or you can ask your nurse or somebody else to do so and if this is not possible atleast you can call him from hospital.
