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

Hello!

I joined to see if this site could help me with my anxiety and so far it has been helpful. Would love to find people to talk to about all sorts of things, people who understand what it is like to live with depression and anxiety.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Hello everyone!

Actually I created my account a long time ago but I never really used it.

I am just looking for someone to talk with. I have a crush on a particular person and I have nobody in my friends or family to talk about it. The last time I tried to talk about it to someone I know, this person just laughed at me and since then I keep it for myself. But it is very frustrating to have nobody to talk about this, and sometimes I really feel lonely because of it. When I created my account I tried to speak with 2 listeners but they ended up ignoring me so I thought that maybe I was the problem. But still I want to try again so here I am.

Hi, i'm new to 7 Cups. I'm still trying to find my way around :-)

I hope everyone is having an ok Monday so far xoxo

Hi, I'm also a new member who's been prodded to make a psot here.

I think I'm mostly just looking for a sounding board/non-judgmental listening ear because that's a surprisingly hard thing to come by. I've graduated over a year ago but now I have the fear of 'What am I going to do with my life now?' and really need to figure things out for myself to move on.

Hi, I found out about 7cups via google. I've been struggling a bit with anxiety. As a guy, I was hoping it might be easier here to share these feelings than IRL. For TV shows, lately I'm enjoying a rewatch binge of "Mad Men" (no pun intended, really).

Hello

I needed someone to talk to and this was the first thing on Ecosia.

Currently dealing with...something. Completely undiagnosed. According to my medical profile, the only problems I have are some messed up ankles. I'm supposed to have talked to someone about anxiety or something but it hasn't happened yet. Oh yeah, I'm a teenager. High school does wonders to stress and anxiety (not). I have a lot of interests, but I haven't liked them as much recently...volleyball, robotics, video games, baking, singing/piano, writing(short stories and poetry). Does that make me depressed? Probably not. I mean, it's probably hormones and mood swings.

I like to have deep conversations about literally anything. I want to be a researcher/professor when I'm older. Probably in mechanical engineering/electrical engineering because I like making things with my hands. Robots are really cool and I love them.

That's about it. Nice to meet you all. I hope that this is the supportive community I'm looking for.

So frustrated I have posted twice and cant ever find my post ir if I was successful.

Anyways..

Cant sleep brain going In circles. My son in psych hospital for 3 years. Hes worse then ever. I am so done. He aspires to go to prison because itll be good for his soul..his words. 15 and truly believes he rules the world and its is his to command. Not being facetious. This mom wants to give up walk away and dig a hole a lay down. But instead my brain circles in perpetual motion about how to respond to his new behaviors how to protect me hubby and other children. How to be a mom to a 15 year old with full blown psychosis. How to love a child that wishes me and his family dead in his fantasies. Gahhh circles

Hello!

How Am I Doing?: I am going alright and had a decent day today. I start college on Monday and had orientation today. Orientation went well. I am nervous about starting college, but some of my worries are now settled after orientation. I have to take an English class this semester and I have a bad history with English classes- most of the English classes I had to take in high school were awful and the teachers were awful, however they showed a little video today during orientation about different instructors talking and one of them was the English instructor I will be having and I have a good first impression of her (so far)! After orientation, Mom & I went to supper @ Dairy Queen! I got 6 chicken strips, onion rings, a s'more blizzard, and a triple chocolate brownie!

Favorite T.V. show- Caillou

How Did I Hear About 7 Cups of Tea: I was on the site, Teen Line and they can't do on-going chats on there and the teens that work on there are only available during certain hours of the day, and so the last time I texted in, the girl I was talking to directed me to 7 Cups!

Hello everyone!

How am I doing? Tired and sore (stomach issues), nervous about the future, but hopeful that it could turn out okay.

Favorite T.V. show? I can't pick a favorite, but I really like BBC Sherlock.

How did I hear about 7 cups? I think through tumblr. I wanted a non-judgmental enviroment where I could say what was going on, since my usual support system was swamped/unavailable at the time, plus anxiety can literally make me unable to talk out loud. I like it here so far.

Hello. I am very new here. I am hoping to find a community/support system to help me navigate through my current feelings of helplessness and hopelessness.

I recently left a DV situation and have lost everything. I'm struggling to not feel like a horrible mother. I have 3 children (2 adult sons) and a teenage daughter. I had to move an hour away (with my mom but cant stay here long bc it's a 55+ community) and for the 1st time in 23 years of being a parent, I'm missing all of my daughters school and sporting events due to money.

I find myself sleeping all of the time. There is nothing at all to do where I am, I dont know anyone, and I the money I do have has to be saved to get to and from my new job which is 70 miles one way. I predict I will be sleeping in my vehicle soon. I went from directing a child welfare agency for 10 years to not having anything.

I'm not sure where to go from here. ❤
