★★★Thank you for joining 7 Cups! Good luck to you all★★★
Hello, newbie here. I joined today because I promised myself that I would do a better job of taking care of my mental health this year.
I have been struggling with anxiety, depression, and my self-confidence is at an all-time low. I decided to take this step because I realized that my mental health has started to affect me physically and its beginning to affect those around myself as I've become irritable and increasing sad.
I finally realized that it's not fair to myself or those I care about to not take care of myself and be a shell and that I need to do better by me.
So hopefully here's to the first step of what I'm sure will be a lengthy and not always easy process.

Hiya! I'm also new here. What a great goal to take better care of yourself and your mental health. To recognise that you need to focus on that and to join here are great steps towards that! I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling with depression, anxiety and your confidence and I can relate to that battle being hard but what from what I've seen so far this place is lovely and supportive so you definitely won't be on your own through this journey .
Hi, I joined 7 Cups a couple of days ago and still feel like a kid in a sweet shop with all the exploring I'm doing on here!
Lovely to be here and I hope I can be a friendly ear if people need to or would like to talk/chat.
hey to whoever is reading this, this is my first post ... Im very encouraged that this system of support is available, just from my my own experience of feeling alone and not knowing where or who to turn to at what ever time am /pm when mentall illness presents itself?? To go ‘it alone can be very damaging... to pick yourself up is easier said than done . So this support is reassuring. Actually feeling good today was able to accomplish a few chores , procrastination is a battle when you set out with goals and do the opposite? If only to start journaling is a proven help... I struggle with everyday tasks like good routine. Get physical activity drink water and avoid certain foods. I feel that these things affect my mental health because its taking care of yourself. Major depression is stronger than me...@Kikumars
should let you know that I was self medicating with pot and alcohol before I was made aware of my condition major depression ... it took years to accept and recognize the symptoms. Lost friends - family - career sad reality@fearlessMap479
Hi everyone.
I'm currently in a very bad place. It's been getting worse and worse over the last couple of years, though I have battled severe depression, anxiety, and panic disorder for over twenty years. I haven't been treated for any of it since 2014, and it's completely out of hand and I can no longer fight it off like I eventually used to be able to. I'm taking on a second job when I can barely mentally handle fhe first (which causes a LOT of guilt and feelings of worthlessness) because we need to save close to three grand to pay for my UK visa renewal in July. My entire family is in Virginia and I haven't been able to visit them since 2010, all my friends and my old life was in Toronto, and I have no friends over here. Everything feels so overwhelming right now.
For self-care, I like to bathe, draw, wear my comfiest pjs, listen to music, and watch goofy stuff on YouTube.
I found out about 7 Cups from my husband.
Sup guys gals and non-binary pals.
I joined 7cups becasue I'm struggling mentally at the moment and after reading the description on Instagram it sounded great.
I find it hard to open up to people though, so a lot of my "chats" are going to be filler, but at least I'm trying.
