★★★Thank you for joining 7 Cups! Good luck to you all★★★
Hi!
I just joined as a listener. I'm very thankful to be a part of this community. I found 7 Cups when I was going through a hard time last year and needed to talk / vent to someone other than the same few friends. My listeners were very caring, and it has made me hope to be able to do the same for others. My main self-care is listening to music, deep breathing, and coloring on the app Happy Color - Color By Number.

Hi! I joined 7 Cups because Ive just recently found out that my mom has cancer and I am trying to deal with that. The thing is that I only found out because she left her blood panel results open on her computer; she hasnt directly told me about the diagnosis. This has been hard in itself, but its also been exacerbated by the fact that my best friend took her own life last year after her mom passed away from cancer. Id give just about anything to talk to my friend about this situation. It just feels very lonely and scary right now. Im doing okay currently, considering everything. I have struggled with depression in the past but am currently managing that pretty successfully. Ive also struggled with anorexia, but that is mercifully going okay right now as well. But I am quite worried about my mom, and I desperately miss my friend. Im glad to have found such a wonderful network of people to support and be supported by.
@Hazelee16 Hey! I can't imagine what it must be like to be in your situation. I remember when one of my family's friends who I was fairly close to took his life, and it wasn't anything easy to deal with in the least. I hope your mother does well this year, and remember that there can always be hope in the worst of places. I'll pray for you, and I wish you well, and I hope that talking about these things makes you feel a bit better. I don't want to pry into your personal life, so I won't ask any questions! Get a good night's sleep!
@Hazelee16
I'm so sorry for what you're going through. We are all here for you. 💟
Hello, my name is Ellie and I've never done anything like this before....since my way isn't working I thought it was time to give this a try and talk to someone.
Hi everyone, I came across 7cups when I was having a bit of a random google and it honestly sounds like a perfect place for me at the moment.
I have been struggling with my anxiety at the moment and am also questioning my sexuality which has been hard considering I havent had much support from anyone. I often feel like I am being weighed down by my thoughts and emotions, so I am glad to be here and hopefully start to feel on top of my emotions again.
Nice to be a part of 7cups :)
Hi. I
Hello, it is me :-)
Hey, I just joined. Still unsure of how it works eniterly or where to even begin. So, I figured I would say something here first. I'm not one for talking about myself really, something I can hopefully get better at.
@atl13 hey. Congrats on trying to help yourself at all. Took me a while to realize something was up let alone attempt to do something about it. I'm extremely introverted and have a hard time getting words out of my mouth so I get where you're coming from. I only joined a couple hours ago myself but I'm here if ya need me :)
Hey. As much as I would love to believe that I'm perfectly fine, I haven't been truly happy in years. I wasn't always this way and I don't want to be. I miss me. I would like to be me again. And I know that this barely qualifies as an issue but I really really just want to be be happy ya know? Just no clue how to yet tho..
@aquaShade1989 hey there! I deeply relate to this feeling. 'Missing me'. I hope you find what you're looking for, and know that your issues are valid enough to seek help and talk about them (took me a long time to even think my problems are worth addressing). I hope you find yourslef again, or maybe create something new. I'm not a listener, just someone that is going through the same. Have a great day!
@atl13 thankyou, I hope I do too and that you end up getting where you want be as well :)

@aquaShade1989 I can completely get where youre coming from. Life is a journey and youve come to the right place to find friends and join a community of people who care. Welcome to 7 cups.
@aquaShade1989 I know how you feel. Two years ago I was so mentally destroyed by back to back incidents that I never quite felt the same... I feel like Im not the same person. I feel darker and more serious and easier upset and I always expect disappointment. I cant be happy either. You are not alone. I think its iust part of trying to tackle depression...how do I get happy again.... thats our target.
Hello!
