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

Hello fellow 2020 new peeps.

I am so happy I found this site and the possibilities offered. I am working through processing my recent diagnosis of fibromyalgia and all that it brings. I am hopeful, and using the DBT techniques to help guide me through that. Having the option to help others does make this journey a bit easier to walk. I am fortunate enough to have a solid support system, My spouse and children are very supportive and offer a great amount of relief to the various ailments associated with the recent diagnosis.
I hope that I am able to offer some comfort to those in need. I know that my social awkwardness will make it a rather interesting course to navigate, but it will definitely be worth it.
Cheers!

what's one thing you guys want to achieve this year? (make sure to say why you want to achieve it) 💛🙂

Hi

I am new here. Any listeners free here? Want to talk

@Tazzie

Hello! Welcome to 7 Cups!

★ How are you doing? Crappy at the moment. Depressed, anxious and my impulses are strong.

★ What are you looking forward to this new year? Being home for all the holidays and b-days and summer vacation this year (I was in prison for all of 2019)

★ How did you hear about 7 Cups of Tea? IDK...kinda stumbled upon it.

----------------------------------------------------------

Please go ahead and tell us about the areas of support you are looking for and we will share information relevant to the topics listed (Examples: Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar, Academics, Relationships, Family Stress etc.)

I have Other SPECIFIED Disruptive, Impulse Control and Conduct Disorders--specifically Pyromania
GAD, MDD (Major Depressive Disorder), PDD (Persistent Depressive Disorder) and probably C-PTSD from both childhood trauma and from being in prison. Lots of nightmares from that.

Nobody understands this disorder...I hesitated even coming here because I don't want generic answers (yes I have Depression and Anxiety but those are small issues compared to the overwhelming and unstoppable (not exaggerating) impulses to set fires that I have.

I just hope someone comes along that has this disorder too...otherwise, this is pretty much not helpful. (I am not saying that to hurt anyone, but I feel that it is not helpful bc even when I talked to a Listener, I got generic answers like a script and it pissed me off)...please someone say they know what this is like? I am so alone.

Hi. I don't know what to say. I been diagnosed with Major Depressive disorder, PTSD, and Anxiety. I have only 2 acquaintances where I live. I only leave my home whenever my husband comes to get me and take me out. I need a friend but hard to trust. Thanks for reading this.

Hi

Hello everyone Iam Sara

a wanderer lost afraid Suffocated confused human

​​

iam So depressed since years ,i want to escape from my nightmares ,my fears i want to breath and come out of that trauma of Pshychological Abuse since 19 years of my life iam tired of pretending that iam alright iam losing myself😥😫

iam new here kindly guide me how can i communicate with people who can help me

Greatings all.

I found this place one day when I was feeling down and thought I'd try it.

I'm feeling alright for the most part, but occationally I still have guilty feelings and feel lonely. I had a terrible year last year. I know there's people who probably had it much worse than I, but it was still emotionally heavy for me.

This year I made a commitment to change my life around. I feel like I'm on the right path, but I still havs a lot of emotional burdens that hold me back. It is my hope that I can have some help working through them here.

Hello 7cups community.

I came here because I would like to receive and possibly give help. I am a teen living with my parents, unable to receive any official diagnoses because they will not let me. I'm feeling lost and stuck, and also worried. I'm not really an insomniac but I have trouble falling asleep because of worrying all night. I hope to be able to chat with all of you out there! 🥰

Hello Dolphins (January 2020 members)

I don't mean to intrude on your thread. As you can see next to my name, I am a kangaroo and signed up for 7 Cups a while back. Funny thing is, I can't remember what was currently happening in my life at the time that led me to originally signing up but when that issue was resolved, I stopped checking in and working on my growth path. I stopped working on myself and let the underlying mental health issues to go untreated. Despite the symbol on my account, I feel connected to all you new members because it what this month that I reached out to 7 Cups once again.

I have been overwhelmed with many tragedies in my life in such a short amount of time, some bigger than others. Since November, I have been rear ended on the highway, I lost my grandmother, I lost a family friend, I lost a cousin, I started struggling with coursework in my first semester of grad school, I was dumped by my boyfriend of 3 years, and my last surviving grandparent has declined rapidly since my grandmother's death. As overwhelming as this has been, I can't help thinking that it would have been easier if I was already dealing with my depression and anxiety. But I am working towards erradicating this feeling of "I should have" and instead I am focusing on what I can do now to get to a better place. I am taking strides to make progress with my mental state while I process my grief, while I improve my academic grades, and while I try to move on. I have been on 7 cups before but January 2020 seems to mark the true beginning of my journey with this site. So perhaps I can be an honorary Dolphin.

Looking forward to the work that will be done here with all of you.
