Hi there all ❤ I am new here!
Hello!! I'm Reem and I'm so glad i found 7 Cups :) how's everyone doing?
i searched for a website/app where I can talk about issues I'm dealing with and that's how I found 7 Cups :)
Hi everyone. I'm new here at 7 cups. Just trying to get familiarized with the community.
Hey! I'm Elizabeth and I joined 7cups today :) So excited to listen and help others. Hope everyone is having a lovely day.
@Elizabeth07 welcome!
Hello. I joined 7 Cups hoping to find support with losing and managing weight. Because of my anxiety disorder and fear of people, I don't leave the house very often, so it's hard for me to properly exercise. Money is tight, so finding healthy options that don't break the bank is also what I'm hoping to learn. I'm honestly terrified and I feel so lost, but I hope to find my way.
@iwanttobehealthy888 yoga will be your perfect solution
@Papilon Can you really lose weight with Yoga? I tried it a long while back on the Wii Fit, but it just didn't seem to do anything.
@iwanttobehealthy888
@iwanttobehealthy888 sorry about my bank post earlier.. I use this app called FitOn and it's been super great. I also do light walking around my neighbourhood and around my house, up and down the stairs. I've been told yoga is great, haven't tried it out yet because I'm not fully convince. I drink smoothies and lots of water. I try my best not to consume "junk" foods and I also try to eat on time and stick to smaller portions. I know everyone is different, but nothing beats a try. I'm sure you'll get there. :)
@iwanttobehealthy888 you should do workout in open /free gym
Otherwise in your backyard and focus on traditional workout otherwise go for yoga
Dear @iwanttobehealthy888, I was the same way, so what I did was run in place at home while listening to music on the radio. If you have a smartphone, I looked up exercise online to switch it up. Let me know if you tried any of these and if it helps. Thanks.
@iwanttobehealthy888 Hi! I share similar concerns. I joined 7 cups though because I was under immense presure and feeling extremely stressed out about a lot of things including my weight. Here's to hoping 7 cups assists and you are able to achieve your goal, whilst staying anxiety-free and empowered like never before. ;)
@iwanttobehealthy888 hello! Congrats on your journey.
Consistency is key! It may take 30 days to lose a pound, but it only takes a day to gain it back. Even if the process is slow, keep going if it works. And make adjustments to increase efficiency along the way.
The best way that I have found to lose weight is drinking water and only water as much as possible. A few weeks of this and you will FEEL results
Best of luck.

I used to walk down my hallway back and forth.... it wasnt ideal but i didnt want to leave the house and didn't have any money for any exercise equipment... that was quite a few years ago now tho...... im sorta in the same position again... but looking at buying an exercise bike

Hello,
I am here because I've been dealing with depression over the way my life is turning out. I've always been quite optimistic but over the last 2 years have a bit of a roller coaster ride. I recently mutually broke up with a significant other, he wasn't a bf technically but I seem to be having an issue with moving on. I want to start something different, he already said that I should as well, he wants me to be happy, I want to be happy, yet I feel as though, even though I am trying to start something new, that I am betraying him for some reason. No other guy has made me feel like this and I'm not sure what to make of it.
@yellowTiger71 talk with the guy clearly and if u are feeling odd then you should stay with that guy for some days
@Papilon
Yes I did tell him how I'm feeling, through text because right now its the only way I can communicate with him and he doesn't have a response.
It is my own issue that I have to deal with.
@yellowTiger71
That's really interesting. I wonder what's giving you these feelings of being beholden to a relationship, that you otherwise state was not so profound. That's really interesting. Talk to me some more - private chat/message - tell me more about it. I am really curious!
Hello,
I am here as I am trying to find a way to deal with low moods I seem to have quite often. I have tried many things but nothing seems to shift it.
@raspberryCamp8599 yes I was also suffering from that but afterwards
I invested my time in exercise and yoga that made my body fatigued as well as my mind calm
Hello!
I found 7 cups while looking for more support during journey. I'm currently in early recovery of an eating disorder. I have experience with depression and anxiety as well and am a big proponent of mindfulness strategies as they have really helped me. I hope I can be a compassionte and helpful contributor to the community!
@Tazzie
Hi! I'm Emma! I'm 15, and I really like roleplaying! I'm into a lot of anime's, like Naruto and My Hero Academia, and I also like to read books! I have depression, but a lot of people don't understand what true depression is. Just because I have depression doesn't mean I'm always sad, like people tend to think. I can still feel happy and excited and other good emotions, it just sometimes seem that the bad emotions overpower the good ones! To help me calm down from this feeling, I like reading cat memes! I've attached one here for you, so hopefully it helps brighten your day!
Aww! How cute is that?
Hello,
I have depression. I'm here after a couple attempts of therapy elsewhere that didn't really work out. My goal is to practice opening up and expressing my feelings. On the road to recovery :)
