Hello all! I just joined today after discovering 7Cuos through my college's student resources. I've had a really bad year and have been steadily declining from the optimistic, positive person I used to be. Ive spent the last 2 days crying on my couch and have nobody in my life to talk to. There's really nothing in my life I feel good about lately. Finances are a joke, I feel like I don't fit in at my job, I don't feel like there's a job out there for me after I graduate, I have no friends who truly care, even my family is hard to talk to, I'm overweight and have been trying to work on it for 9 years but have no discipline, I really just suck in every area of life. Hoping this app will help ❤️ I feel weird about the forum as I have a hard time connecting with people but I'm willing to try anything that could help. Christmas is my favourite time of year and it makes me feel worse knowing I'm ruining the season for myself.
The cunt admin strikes again. I have been creating a new account every day. Sometimes I don't even use the account at all only to find it deactivated. I was in the middle of helping two people when I was locked out of the conversations. Can you imagine how those people felt at a critical point when they were opening up and accepting what was happening in their lives only to be abruptly cut off?
I'm talking to this fucking admin who doesn't even appreciate the responsibility they have. Wake up, cunt. You're causing a lot of damage on this website. Why are you even here?
Hi. I have just been recently diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I almost didn't bother trying to get help because, in the past, I've been able to help myself. Or my overwhelming sense of sadness usually passed in a short amount of time. So I didn't believe I had a problem. Once I started to notice my anxiety symptoms, realizing some of the things I was experiencing were in fact, anxiety problems, I figured out that something needed to be done, whether I wanted to do it or not. I was getting to a point where my sadness and anxiety kept up and I couldn't control it. I would cry and not understand where it was coming from. The only person I wanted to know about any of this was my husband. He noticed everything and has been super understanding about my situation. My family ended up finding out because I went to the doctor and we have a tracking app with everyone so I shut off my location and they were asking questions, thinking I was pregnant. Wishful thinking for them, because kids are not on the top of my to-do list. Anyway, I told them what was going on so they didn't think I was pregnant. Other than the small group, no one else knows. I haven't told my friends, haven't told co-workers, no one. Because although I'm not ashamed of it and I know people deal with it all the time, I don't feel like it's anyone's business and I don't want to be accused of using my anxiety or depression as an excuse for why I don't want to do things or my attitude. Not that I would use it as an excuse but I've been struggling with being around too many people at once. I guess that's the short story. I'd be here all day if I said everything I wanted to.
Hi, I've just joined 7cups in hopes of becoming a part of a community that I could reach out to and feel comfortable with. I have been struggling recently with feelings of loneliness and overall gloominess, especially with the upcoming holidays. I hope that 7cups can help ease those feelings even a little bit. :)
@gflowers hope you are feeling OK. This seems a great place to meet and talk with like minded people. Lets hope it helps us. Im with you on those feelings by the way and the worst part is I dont know why Im feeling them. Really trying to learn to deal with them and realise they dont define me but that can be hard so I do feel it with you.
Hello everyone ,
Im new to this app and really hope itll help me in some ways. Feel a bit silly sometimes when I cant explain how I am feeling or really why Im feeling off but Ive decided to give this a go and hopefully meet people like me so I dont feel alone and a burden.
Its a nice feeling knowing I wont be judged or thought any less of here.
looking forward to talking with you all.
bye for now xx

I just wanted to tell you. I am very glad that you are here.
Lost and Lonely
I have absolutely no luck in love. I won't bore any of you with the sad, pitiful details of my 3 (yes, 3!) failed marriages. I am struggling with my most recent breakup with a guy I met and started dating in April. I fell so hard and the love I felt for him redefined the word LOVE. Sadly, I found out that he cheated and I can't get past it. I've been down this road before and it leads nowhere I want to go. I know that some relationships move past and survive a partner being unfaithful, but he knew in the beginning that cheating is a deal-breaker for me. I'm devastated and looking at my track record I believe I should just give up. That my Prince Charming doesn't exist and that I have no happily ever after.

Good Morning, All:
I'm having some loneliness issues, and feel a little dissociated from my life. My codependent behaviors are being triggered, and I'm working hard to correct them using the skills I learned in Codependents Anonymous. A friend pointed me toward this site, and so I thought I'd give it a tty. I have dysthymia all of my adult life, and recently developed a minor anxiety disorder. I'm hoping that this site helps me reconnect with my more balanced self. I don't like feeling this way.
Thanks!
Hello,
My name is Kim and I'm new here. I'm not sure where I'm at mentally. Not sure if I'm ready to give it up, but I'm here. At least I'm somewhere, where I don't have to hide and pretend I'm not who I truly am.
Well hello everyone
