New to 7 Cups in August 2019? Say Hello Here & Meet Others who Joined in August too!

Hey guys!!

I

Hello,

I'm new here. I was looking up online therapy options and found this. I wanted something more daily/weekly. Because as good as my counselor is that I meet weekly, he keeps canceling on me. And I understand life things happen, he gets sick. Stuff like that, but he is so booked that it takes 1-2 or more weeks to see him again. And by the time I get back with him what we talked about the last session, he seems to not really remember cause of the time period. So then when I do talk to him and he promises to help me with this and that, then I feel all yeah right...So I thought I would also try some online options. I was diagnosed with ADHD, and I've had on and off depression. Constant anxiety my whole life just gone up and down. After getting to know me for about a year, and reading up on what the counselor before him wrote and kept filed about me, my therapist talked to me about aspergers. But I don't really think anything will come of it, just because he's really inconsistent. So for now I'm just trying to do some research myself and self help...

Heya I'm new to 7 cups :) I suffer from social anxiety, general anxiety, and of course the good ol panic attacks that happen too often especially since University is starting back up.. There's just soo many people.. Well I hope it's exciting for some of the other people :)

hello everybody. DR Mak here one of the volunteer listeners at 7 Cups. glad to be here and hope i enjoy this experience

Hey there,

I currently struggle with recurring depression and anxiety. My doctor put me on anti depressant which seems to be helping some of my symptoms but not all, i feel like its something more than just depression. I started seeing a therapist but after 3 sessions i got fired from my job and lost my health insurance. So theres that. I also have family issues im dealing with, my parents seem to think im their therapist and vent to me until i pretty much go insane. I do live on my own but only across the street from them. I like artsy things, listening to vinyl my current favorite show is Jane the Virgin!

Hello, I am new to 7cups. I have always struggled with social anxiety and depression — which are getting a bit more intense now that I will be starting college soon. Hopefully I will be able to figure some things out, and chat with some people here. Nice to meet you all. ^^

Hello everyone! I have named my self CatfishedGirl8 here because, obviously, I have been catfished and I am thinking about this a lot! I was hoping to find some people that have passed through this. (Not actually hoping, Im am hoping that there are not a lot of people that had experienced that!) I only want to talk with someone about this and maybe to share our stories with each other just to feel a little bit better and that I am being understood!

Hi, I'm Katie, Just nice to write this down tbh. I have been suffering all my life, but the last few months I've really lost the plot. I think I may have bipolar and have thought so for years, but the docs jus says... depressed get over it heres some pills.

Too top this off I also think I maybe a lesbian. I am married and I love my husband. But that small part of me that's always been there and I know it has, jus wont stay in no more.

I am new to this and also tend to bottle everything in, I am an introvert and do not generally seek out others. This has been difficult and am still unsure if this will be a good fit for me. Everytime I open the app, I quickly shut it down when it gets uncomfortable.

Hi, my name is Jordan.

I am new here and thought I would give this a try. I tried many apps and this one is the most promising. I am looking for support and a listening ear. I have struggled with emotional issues, depression, anxiety, PTSD since I was about 13. A lot of this I think is stemmed from sexual abuse when I was 4 all the way until 13 by two people I trusted. I have extreme trust issues because of this. I am married and it affects my marriage life. its hard sometimes to try new things and trust my spouse even though I know he wont hurt me. A police report was made but nothing was done about it and I still struggle with anger because of it. For years I felt like I didnt have a purpose and that I was a lost cause. I am doing better now but I still struggle from time to time. Not only do I deal with it but my husband deals with some of the same emotional issues I do but he deals with it in a different way. He reacts in anger and as you can imagine, that doesnt help us any. So I have no one to talk to and dont want to burden my family with my issues so I feel relating to someone around my age will help me. Counseling is expensive and I cant afford it. I moved out at 16, got my license, college full time, got a job, pay my bills,etc. so I didnt have time to be a kid. I am 20 now, but sometimes this can be an emotional overload. I am currently a nurse and working to further my degree in nursing. I am a very outgoing individual but I have some things Im trying to work out in my life. I enjoy reading, video games to help me get my mind off of stuff, meditate, vehicle restoration, taking care of people, outdoor activities, crafts, music, piano, etc. nice to meet everyone! Thank you for listening to my long story
