Hello everyone! I just joined today and I hope I can do my best to support anyone I can, I got inspired after seeing so many sites which offer support but don't have enough people that actually care. Let's change that one person at a time!
@Tazzie
1. I'm great thanks
2. Start exercising and feeling better about myself and have better relationships with everyone around me, and make friends
3. A quick google search
I kind of joined years ago but never really used the site so... I guess i count as new?
★ How are you doing?
To be completely honest, worse than i ever have. It's been 2 weeks and this year has already made me feel way worse than the last one. I feel very alone and anxious about my future.
★ What are you looking forward to this new year?
I'm really not certain to be honest. Maybe spending more time with friends?
★ How did you hear about 7 Cups of Tea?
Google! I was searching for chatrooms where i could talk to someone and stumbled upon this.
Just joined as well. I've been feeling lonely and having rough nights that I can't find the words to tell others about (ironic that I'm a writer, right?), so I came here to talk.
Not sure what to expect, or what the rules may be, but hello and, I guess I'm here now!

Hi I'm Kris I just joined as well. I completely understand the rough nights. Life is definitely tough at times but I'm hoping to meet some people who can share experiences and we weather the storm together!
@dreamcatcher49 Sounds good to me! We can swap umbrellas!
@creativeEast32
Well here goes my story~ I moved about 8 months ago from VA where I had lived for 25 years! I moved to Texas to be near my oldest daughter who's husband was recently deployed. I started having panic attacks and fell into depression because everything was strange and unfamiliar. It's been tough finding a job and it's like I'm starting over which freaks me out. I am normally outgoing and social but have secluded myself from others. Many sleepless nights and I feel very lost. My attentions were good but I feel like I've failed. My daughter just had a baby girl and she's precious but I'm feeling very overwhelmed with that. My boyfriend was suppose to move as well and we were getting a place together but has not made the commitment yet. It's just been very stressful! I would like to hear your story. Although we may have different situations I'm sure we can relate in some ways to each other!

Let's see. I have troubles keeping friends, I somehow manage to find the broken groups, so that's fun. Now that I'm deciding to be a writer, I've got all these wonderful worlds and stories I'm creating, and I've only found two, maybe three people who genuinely want to hear my stories. I lost both my close friends and the other moved away, I then attached myself to a friend group that was extrodinarily toxic, and now I'm lonely. I feel like I wasn't meant to be here, I'm not meant to live in this time, this place.
@creativeEast32
So you have creative ideas and seem like you have initiative to write, that is awesome! I would love to hear your stories. I used to write myself when I was in high school, many years ago, lol. What a great inspiration!
I understand being lonely. I hope we can be some support for each other and use the resources through the forum! You sound like a great person!
Kris
@dreamcatcher49
You too! I hope your daughter is well and that your boyfriend agrees to move soon!
@creativeEast32
Thank you. My daughter is doing great. Im just lost and overwhelmed.
Im here to talk and listen anytime! Especially those lonely nights!
Kris
@Tazzie
Thank you for the warm welcome. I'm happy to be here.
1. I'm not doing so well. I have some family problems, and just myself in general.
2. I'm thinking of doing something this year, either college or a job, but I'm not sure where to go. I'm pretty much lost.
3. I found about 7 cups on Google when I searched for apps that can help with problems.
I do hope things will get better for all of us. Thanks again.
Hi I'm new to this whole online forum but wanted to reach out to others who might be experiencing some of the things I've been going through. I have depression and experiencing anxiety lately. Would love to talk and share.

@Molly20 This is Yashwani... Something happened to my listeners account... Idk how to connect with you... Just to tell you that I didn't ditch you 😭😭
@Tazzie hola
@Tazzie
1. I'm doing kind of OK-ish at the moment - things are a bit up and down I guess. I'm a lot less anxious than I was a few months ago, but still feeling a bit lonely sometimes.
2. Exploring my city and putting myself out there a bit more. Maybe making a few more friends.
3. I think I googled mental health apps or something like that.
