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

Hello everyone don't know really what to say cause I'm a sleepy momma of a 3 month old and 4 year old. I struggle with marriage issues that I seem to be the only one wanting to fix, and struggle to keep up with housework. I was diagnosed with postpartum depression for the second time with baby #2. Sometimes I also have anxiety as well. I often feel like I fail as a mom, housewife and such. I often feel that I am socially awkward. I'm a homebody that is an extrovert. I don't have a ton of friends to talk to. And the most important person in my life that I could confide in past away in 2010. I can be a chatty Kathy especially on forums and message groups.

Hello everyone, you can call me Meg. I came here because I'm bipolar and I'm not handling it well lately. Anxiety is getting the best of me lately with the start of my bachelor's program coming up. I've been a straight A student in my college but now I'm super anxious with the start of my upper division courses in fall. I know I have nothing to worry about, but I just can't help it.

I'm a 37 year old single mother of two and don't work (because my mom is gracious enough to let us stay with her while I go back to school), so should have all the time in the world for classes, but still worry that school will get the best of me these coming years.

Hi, my name is Mariya

Hope everyone is doing well, I joined 7 cups less than a week ago, and I have been struggling to express my emotions to someone, but i would love to make new friends who i can relate to and talk to.

Hello,,call me fun am here because I would like to make new friends and have people who I can bond with,talk to and who will understand me.i have depression and I have noone to talk to here at home so it would be alot helpful.

Hi. I decided to try this. I suffer from diagnosed depression, anxiety and panic attacks (only when driving). I have a degerativie spine condition and other medical problems that cause chronic pain. I've had 7 surgeries, including 3 on my spine and 2 joint replacements in the last 3 years. 4 years ago I was a fitness instructor, in great shape and very active. I married the love of my life 6 years ago. I'm 53. After each spine surgery I gained about 20-25 pounds. I have trouble walking some days. I don't liek to go out because I'm embarassed about how I look and feel. I have a good job but I'm worried about not being able to drive because of the panic attacks. My job supports the family. I'm afraid my husband is getting tired of me and will leave me because I am not the person he married. I would not blame him. I am one of those people that does not apear to be depressed or anxious, and am very positive around other people. I used to exercise to release sress but I can't do that anymore. I feel hopeless and the idea of being this way for the rest of my life or worse, as my condition progresses is terrifiying and I'm not sure I can do it.

Hey everyone! I'm new here as a listener, and I honestly can't wait to make friends with fellow listeners and help make the world a better place one conversation at a time!

I have a dog, he likes to eat ham when we have left over ham.

Hello! My name is Gisele and I am also new to 7Cups. I am trying to support others and also grow my communication skills because I think I sort of struggle with that. I hope we all get to help many people here!

Hey everyone! My name's Nalah and I'm new to 7cups. My purpose for being here is to be there for those who may not feel heard or supported. I take mental very seriously and am happy to be apart of a network that is both easily accessible (I'd hope) & positively reinforcing to those who may need it. I look forward to this journey

hello everyone! i'm here because i verrryyyyyy recently started to question my sexuality. i identify as a (cis-gender) female, and for about a year i've been wondering if i was pansexual. i never explored it though; it was just a lingering question in the back of my mind. however, literally two days ago (today is friday, july 24th), i started to really wonder who i liked. as a very young person, i've never been asked out on a date or to be in a relationship with anyone. i've never explored my sexuality in any shape or form. i've had crushes on guys, but never on anyone else.

and now, i'm kind of panicking because girls are suddenly a lot more interesting in guys and i just don't know what's happening? so yeah, lol, please give me your advice.
