Hiya.im doing okay today. Going to not stress about personal relationships today and think positive. I don't watch TV often there isn't a favorite show but I do listen to music non-stop. Five Finger Death Punch is my favorite band though. I came across this site while looking for articles on jealousy because he and I both have trust issues. Feel we need to get to the root. Anyway it's a beautiful day and I'm not working so it's time to go enjoy the free time and sunshine.
Thank you for the warm welcome! I heard about 7Cups on a Quora thread some time ago, but it was only today that a panic attack led me on board proper. I've been struggling with severe anxiety for a long while now, and I've only recently found a therapist.
Lately I get the feeling that my friends and I are all on the same boat but instead of supporting each other, we simply talk over each other or remain quite insensitive. The invalidation pains me, and I am not happy being the only person to point it out and ask for some corrective action. I feel like I am the only one talking differently in my circles and that makes me feel isolated and hopeless. I wanted an empathetic group of people to feel connected to, where I can be heard and offer a shoulder myself to someone who needs it. So here I am. :)
I stopped with the whole TV show addiction extravaganza two months ago because I wanted some quiet, but the last show I thoroughly enjoyed watching was The Good Place. Cheers, and much love to everyone here.
Hi. I'm Blue. I guess I'm feeling okay right now, but I recently had a bit of an episode where I started to hate myself. I talked with some friends and they helped me feel better, but I'm still worried that something will happen during this next semester of college. A lot is riding on me passing my classes this next year. I don't really watch much TV. I mostly watch YouTube and play video games, but when someone does turn something on, if it's something like Adventure Time or Rick and Morty, I'll probably watch it with them. Also, the Avatar series will always hold a special place in my heart. I heard about 7 Cups from a Discord server for a game called Bloodborne. Apparently, a lot of people use Dark Souls to cope, and I think it's amazing that I incidentally found myself in such a supportive community.
Hey there, @BlueIsQuiet
Welcome to 7cups, it's lovely to meet you, Blue and it's awesome to see you have decided to join! I'm glad you're feeling okay as of now - I hope that still stands and if not, even better 
. I'm sorry that recently you've starting to feel you hate yourself though. I can understand that although you've spoke to your friends - which is awesomem that they've helped a little, but you'd still feel nervous for whats to come in college. I hope college goes really well for you. Oooh youtube and video games are still cool! Awh, Avatar is for sure pretty awesome too - thanks for sharing this with us. We're all here for you and wish you the very best.
Take care!

Why am I afraid to not be lonely?
Hello, @Intelligentartifact
Welcome to 7cups, it's awesome to see you have joined and we hope you can have the best experience possible! Hm, I can understand why you may be a little afraid to feel the opposite of lonely - I wonder, and you don't have to answer, but is this idea of loneliness a feeling you are experiencing often? 
Take care.

Hi. Anyone there. I need to vent. I had a breakdown about 6 weeks back as I was overwhelmed by loss of my job then drug relapse and relationship breaking down.
A complete stranger pretty much pulled me away from the bridge and I very nearly took her with me.
Im now wishing I had jumped
Hello, @Buggzz11
Welcome to 7cups, we're pleased to see you have decided to join!
I'm sorry that you've recently had a breakdown due to the loss of your job, relapse of substance abuse and relationship issues - that sounds like a really rough time for you and I can understand why it must've become so overwhelming. However, I'm really pleased to know you were pulled away from that bridge, whether it from a stranger or not. It's okay to be feeling low but please, if you do feel unsafe at any point, please reach out for the support you deserve. Here, is a list of those resources that may be useful. Additionally, there are resources such as IMAlive.org and suicide.org too.
You are incredibly strong though and I'm proud of you for still being here now even when you may wish you weren't. Joining 7cups too is a huge step for the support you deserve - we're all here for you. I hope things get easier and wish you the very best.
Take care!

Hi... I'm new here, not really sure what to say. I'm not very good at talking about my problems...I complain a lot, but never can seem to admit to the core problem. I don't like talking to people much most of the time...I probably need help, but I'm too scared to get it. Even just this has me in tears... although that may be partially from the bad week I've been having...
So yeah, that's me...
Hello, @YukinaRose

It's okay that you don't like talking about what you're going through, but know I'm proud of you for deciding to join here still, where I hope you can get the support you deserve. I'm sorry to hear you've had a bad week though.. I hope things improve for you.
Best wishes,
