Hello. I'm new here, and looking forward to having a space to talk with others.
I'm over 50 and have had mental health and wellness issues since I was 9, my first stay in a facility, and have struggled pretty much ever since. I am appreciative to have found this forum to connect with others.
Thank you for all being here, and I look forward to discussions and meeting others ♡

I heard about this site on many social medias, and I never felt like I needed it until recently. (Trigger warnings ahead, maybe? Do we do that here?) I signed up a few days ago when I recieved heartbreaking news about my best friend on Friday. She had committed suicide, after years of battling her own mind, previous attempts and the trauma I can only assume comes with it. It still hit everyone like a ton of bricks when she was actually gone.
She was like a sister to me. She took care of everyone else before herself. I don't know what to do. I miss her.
I've never been good at talking to strangers. But I'm here and I'm hoping for the best.
@embergeist
Having a friend like that take their life is never easy. Im so glad you took the time to come on and reach out for yourself.
@Nottooshabby Yeah, and we'd lost another friend to their own struggle late last year. The year before that, my grandfather passed away. I feel like I'm losing people left and right.
What makes it worse is that she was helping me with my depression and anxiety crud, but she always hid how she was really doing. I want to get better but right now I just feel too sad and tired to do that.
@embergeist
Completely understood. Thats quite a timeline you have going on. You hear that a lot about others, that they are so giving and willing to listen but dont share their own troubles. Im glad you are reaching out still. You say you are too tired to help yourself but to me, just coming on here to talk is a great start
Hello, @embergeist
Welcome to 7cups, we're pleased to see you have joined and hope you can have an amazing experience! I'm so sorry to hear that you had that news of your best friend recently. I hear you and can understand how difficult this must be for you all. It must be so hard, but you're really brave and I'm proud of you for coming here where I hope you can get the support you deserve. You're not alone during this time - we're all here for you as well. We wish you the very best.
Take care!
@Ottie Thank you. Having this news has made me realize I can get help, and not have to feel like I'm crazy or broken. The scary part is what comes after... I've struggled with depression for years, since I was in my early teens, and I don't know what it will be like, if I'll even be the same person.
Of course. I'm really glad you were able to realise that there is help out there for you. You are not and never will be alone. I'm sorry you've struggled with depression for years - I can understand how challening that on it's own must be for you. I can get why you may be questioning how things will become but we're all here for you as I say and I really think you're doing an incredible job. Stay strong! @embergeist
Hello everyone! New here. Im just trying this out to see how it goes. I recently lost my job and I havent been feeling so great since. I want to feel better and get past this. Im hoping to meet new people who are understanding.

Hello I'm new here. Obviously. Thats why I'm in this thread. I juat googled trying to find people to talk to about everything and ended up here. Im not really sure how this all works. I don't understand the terminology or what's going on. And so far haven't been able to get anyone to talk to me except myself. So, pretty much like every other attempt at socializing and interaction.

Hi um, I know its a little late in May but I guess this is just me testing how to post if that makes sense.
So basically, I guess i'm a bit of an anxious person if that sounds right, and get scared when i'm really on my own, which it feels like a lot, even in a house of 6 other people.
I just need communication sometimes, I dont know if this makes sense but I hope it does.

You do make sense hehe,and I totally get why it may feel that sometimes, all you need is to communicate. We're all here for you and wish you the very best.

Hi everyone, i suffer from what will be life long depression and more recently my anxiety has been getting so bad i can barely leave the house, my fiancee is super supportive but im frustrated by his not quite understanding, i feel so alone sometimes and the anxiety makes the depression worse and vice versa... its just so hard sometimes and all you really want is to be understood. Which led me here 😀
