Hello everyone 👋🏻

Hello!

I just joined 7 Cups because I am realizing there are some major emotional issues happening within me. Most days, I can do the things I need to do, but I am stressed and unhappy. I struggle to see myself leading a life that is full of joy, laughter, and love. Instead, I fall into the trap of competition and envy. I have huge plans for myself that excite me, but I struggle to execute because of fear of failure, embarrassment, and a general lack of confidence. I'm sad that stress has taken over my happiness. Im scared I won't be able to move forward.

I'm here because I've been not dealing with my divorce for about 3 years now. We were together for nearly 20 years and married for 13. It wasn't a great marriage, since we both had issues we didn't discuss. It was isolating and we spent alot of time angry at each other. I feel like its my fault that i wasn't more supportive, because i wasn't supportive at all. She needed comfort and she tried very hard to provide me comfort when she thought i needed it. I pushed her away at every turn. She was basically a single, stay at home mom for most of our daughters first six years since i was in the navy. All she wanted to be able to do was talk to me when i got home. We were out of state and away from our families. i wanted nothing to do with it and it put her into a state of depression. i would get upset when she got upset because i knew i wasn't helping her with her pain, but adding to it. Over the years, we drifted further apart as she turned to painkillers to get through the days. Instead of me seeing she needed help, i continued to be distant and would distance myself further. Now, after three years of being divorced, shes been in a happy relationship for several years and has recently become a stepmom. She's gotten her counseling and is happier and healthier than shes ever been. Our 17 year old daughter lives with me full time and her mom rarely talks to her. its been like that since she got into her relationship. I feel like alot of it is my fault for the way i was not there for my ex when she needed me to be. Now, she barely has a relationship with her daughter and i know it hurts them both very much. I feel like if I would have been able to open up a little and accept that my ex was trying very hard to keep the house spotless, the baby happy, me fed, and the clothes clean...i mean, she did everything. i hated that she felt like she needed to be a slave to make me happy. she wanted to be able to do everything for me, and i really dislilked it. it hurt her feelings when i wouldn't let her make me coffee, or bring me food. now, years after our divorce, its finally hitting me really hard. she loved me so severely that she neglected her own health and well being to try to make me happy. i was mad at myself for things and i was too selfish to recognize how much hurt she was in. now shes happy and a stepmom to two kids and i couldn't be more devastated that i refused to put in any work to try to help her or save our marriage. about a week ago, i found myself being completely okay with ending myself to get rid of the pain. thats when i realized i needed help. i've contacted therapists and have two appointments set. i want my old life back, but i know that where she is in life right now is so much better for her. i absolutely know that and recognize it fully. at least thats what i tell myself. i still want her back, but i know in my heart and in my mind that we spent too much time hurting each other to ever be able to have the relationship we wanted to have together

Hi, I have just joined 7 cups so a newbie here!

I have resorted to using this app as I find that speaking\engaging with people helps me a lot. At the moment I am suffering from anxiety and depression, and I've suffered from panic attacks in the past month or so. In April I was supposed to be engaged to someone I love very much... Which then postponed to July(this month). Our wedding was being planned for next year. Both of us so happy and excited, to find I had a video call from him 2 weeks ago saying 'this isn't working' and is now erasing me from his life.... There has been no build up or any sign of this coming my way. I've been in massive shock and unfortunately I'm struggling cope with accepting this news.

Hey everyone. I joined 7cups after a breakup and to get help with grief. In the short time I have been on here, I have already come a long ways when it comes to expressing how I am feeling and explaining why I am feeling that way. The ex is in constant communication with me because he wants to see me become the me he knows I can be. It helps to still have him as a support system. But I am here for me. I need to learn to cope with the grief instead of ignoring it and making the wrong decisions because the pain of it is too much to share with those who care.

Hello Everyone!

I hope you all are doing well. Very excited to be a part of such a great Initiation. So far I am having a great experience and I want to explore more in coming days

I would like to ask you - *** which community excited you the most and you have joined in it as soon as you saw it***

Will be waiting to hear about your experiences :)

Have a nice day

Hi, I guess I'm here because of depression. I am the type of person who is just genetically depressed. I've felt like this for over 10 years and I just feel like there is no way out. I've been struggling more than usual over the past couple years because being an adult is just...depressing lol. Anyways, I hope everyone is doing well on their journey and that we can help each other grow!

Hello I'm Jennie, and having been through some bad times I am here to give something back and to help anybody who requires a friend or a shoulder to lean on. We're all deserving of help and support. If anyone needs me at all then please feel free to send me a PM. My door is always open.

And warm welcomes to all new members!
