New to 7 Cups in February 2020? Say Hello Here & Meet Others who Joined in February too!

Hey everyone. I'm new to 7cups. Usually I internalize my issues however, I'm going through a current one that has taken a toll on me. I won't allow it to defeat me, we are definitely at War. I hope I can find a listener to help me conquer this battle, and to maintain my emotions.

Hey everyone. I just joined 7Cups tonight and am not quite sure what it is but here I am.

Looking forward to learning more.

Mel

Hi there

I'm new to 7 cups,

I'm here to support and help others

I think I mentioned this but I grow my own food, aim to grow the biggest potato in the world.

Take care

Hi also a newbie here!

Tbh, still quite confused how things work here. I've been sharing my problems with some of the listeners online and so far it's great. There is one though who told me the listener here in 7 cups don't give advice so I guess i've been doing things wrong? But so far the listeners were kind enough to give me some great advices that is helping my current issues.

Hi, I have so many heavy things I am bearing right now. And frankly have for many years. They just keep coming. I really don't know what my favorite thing to do is anymore. I don't usually have time for myself. I always have a child with me. Not that that is bad. I just dont have time for only me. I found this website on a post on Facebook.

Hello I just joined and a bit confused on how this works.

Hi I'm Charlie

I'm alright, I ended up joining this more because I don't really have any friends I feel close enough to to talk about various problems with so really need an outlet. I don't have any big issues but everything is kind of starting to take its toll because I don't have anyway to vent to and can't bounce ideas off someone else I guess?

Reading a good fiction book is definitely my favourite way to relax and I've recently been getting into reading again, discovering that I can still absolutely devour a book when its the right one so that's a bit of a relief as I thought I'd completely lost the ability to do that!

I've heard about 7cupsoftea on various platfoms over the years, probably mostly on Pinterest. Always thought I'd join here to be a listener, hopefully in the future that's something I'll be able to look into more

Hope everyone who's on half term is taking some much needed rest and looking forward to progressing together x

I joined last night, I don't recall what I was doing to have found the app but I did and thought being able to talk to people might be nice. I don't have many IRL friends because the two abusive relationships I've been in pretty much managed to sever those ties - although we're all still friends on FB (not the exes though!)

I've been going to talk therapy for a while, and while I'm finding it somewhat useful, I'm also finding its reinforcing the belief for me that my husband would really benefit from it too, if he were open to it. At the moment he's not, and he has my support in that, because I saw how hard it was for him when he did try, and I know now really that's not a patch on how it actually feels afterwards. I'm incredibly lucky to have him & his support, and really I just want to be a less f*cked-up version of myself for him

Talk therapy has opened up some avenues of research for me, as it's turned up abandonment issues; and some pre-therapy research also indicted cPTSD might be an issue for me. I enjoy reading, so have picked up books on these; I also have a strong yoga practice which helps me too, although between having the flu and going through a bad patch I haven't practiced much yet this year - I'm intending on changing that this week though

How am I doing:

I spent about 6 hours crying today, on and off. That hasn't happened to me in...many many years. Eventually I had the presence of mind to start looking for help, and found 7cups.

Favorite thing to do. I'm realizing I don't have something right now. I haven't felt joy outside my classroom in a long time. (I'm a teacher.)

Hi, I'm new here but hoping for the best!

I'm actually doing okay at the moment (been trying other CBT exercises, reframing thoughts, etc...) but I had a couple of very bad days this week that led to me looking for outside help through mediums like 7Cups.

I look forward to learning more about the site, and meeting other interesting people on it! :-)
