Newbie Over Here
Hello my name is Arlene, and I suffer from major depression and anxiety. I joined 7 cups because I thought it would be nice to be apart of a community of people who are suffering the same condition as me. It's good to know that I'm not alone. I have been trying my best to get pass my miscarriage since it happened August this year. I am also dealing with chronic pain from stress fractures I had on my hips, right tibia, and left ankle from being in service. Let me tell you, it's not fun at all. I am too young to be suffering with this pain. I wish it would go away and that I can go back to running again.
I have a loving husband who is the light in my darkness as well as three pets. Two 7 month old kittens, and one 4 month old puppy who is a Bull-pei. They all keep my spirits up, and I'm very fortunate to have them.

Hi Arlene!
Welcome to 7cups. I'm glad you found our community, and I hope you find it helpful. If you ever have questions or need someone to reach out to, I'm always here.
You are not alone in your issues. Reaching out is often the first step, and I hope it will help you in your path to recovery.
I have 5 black cats at my house, so hearing about your kittens and your puppy brought up my mood. I love cats. 
@brightForest97 Thank you. And wow 5 cats? That's amazing. My husband won't let me keep that many unless we are going to have 4 more dogs too, lol.
@akittyv
Hahaha I guess I'm kind of cheating because I live in 2 houses - my mom and my dad's, so I have 3 cats in one and 2 in the other.
@brightForest97 Oh nice lol.
