New to 7 Cups in November 2019? Say Hello Here & Meet Others who Joined in November too!

I found 7 cups trying to find some where to talk. I have been to therapy and it only maked things worse for me. I have no one I can talk to and the only one in my lif is my boyfriend and I

I am new here.

I had so much weight on my shoulders recently and am in need of support that is why I joined 7 cups of tea.

Finances has been a struggle for me and I have thrown away my values so my family does not starve and have become an adult entertainer.

Recently I got a diagnosis of Lupus and that is scaring me.

This is the first time I am really speaking up. Last year my ex tried to strangle me death and bite my nose off and I had to get my nose surgically fixed. ( yes the police report has already been made) First time I am emotionally handling this.

Most of the posts here are old. So I don't know if I am just talking to myself or what. But very welcome to all here who are new. You will get support here.

Hello,

I'm here because of workplace stress and general anxiety. I work customer service, and customers seem to have been exceedingly difficult and short tempered lately. It's been wearing me down.

I love the company and there's room for growth and the potential to move up (and possibly out of the customer service side of things), but for now, I feel pretty stressed and stuck.

7Cups seems like a great place to talk with others who might be going through the same stuff.

Hi

I'm new here and really struggling with anxiety and complex PTSD as well as an eating disorder. I'm so scared about losing control of myself as recently there have been times when I have lost control. I'm stuck in hospital and I just want to get out but they won't let me until I can manage my anxiety. I feel so alone.

Hey, I'm Amy. 28 years old, struggling with very low self worth, recently lost my job, binge eating, and depression. I feel like I have had nothing but failures in the last ten years because I don't have a 4 year degree (dropped out of college twice even though I love learning and being a student..?) and have only ever had "sideways jobs". A sideways job is minimum wage jobs that you can seemingly never move up in the company, so you move to a new company which might even promise that you can move up, but you always end up stuck at the bottom. I've done retail and reception and always work my ass off just to be kept in the bottom and literally begging for more responsibility and a raise.

I place a lot of value in having a good job because I want my family to be proud of me. All of my family members have always known what they want to do and have long and fulfilling careers, but I'm the embarrassment who gets too depressed to finish school and recently hasn't even been able to get a part time retail job. I failed at my most recent job and have been out of work for a month.

I have never known what I want to do with my life, and feeling lost and without a path or purpose makes me feel worthless. I'm otherwise smart, crafty, quick to learn and good with my hands, have an amazing husband, and we recently just bought a home. Things are honestly really great....I just can't help but think that unless EVERYTHING is great, I'm failing.

Does anyone have any advice on having a better outlook when it comes to jobs, finding my purpose, or maybe even just viewing a job as a means to pay the bills and not thinking about how all my jobs have sucked and will always suck? I know most people hate their jobs, I just always wished I could have one that I loved.

Hi I'm new.

Hi, I'm Hempsey and I've recently broken up with my girlfriend (she was cheating on me) I have depression and EUBPD which only exacerbates those sickly feelings in my gut.
You know the one where you can't eat or concentrate on anything and you wanna throw up.
I feel completely betrayed and I don't know why? I did everything I could for her. I loved her, cared for her, I gave her a home when she had nowhere to go. I thought she loved me, she said she did.........but I guess not. Anyway I'm new this is my first day and I just need someone to talk to, someone to understand, someone to tell me it wasn't my fault and that I didn't deserve this. Thanks for listening x

Hi, new here. I'm in the dark these past few months. Actually since 2011, but it sometimes somehow fades away. I don't know if this is depression, I have not tried talking to a professional. But I have been feeling kinda numb already. There are days when i would just cry myself to sleep with no reason. I'm always tired. And now I have a husband and he doesn't know I'm like this. But I can't take this anymore, i feel the need to tell him but I don't know how to start. I'm just really tired dealing with this everyday, hiding it when I'm with other people, even when I'm with my husband. He has no idea I'm like this.

Hi! I'm new here, I recently joined today and I'm slowly figuring and stumbling my way through this site.

Mental health is important and for me I wish to get better. I want to get better and it's time for me to take the steps heal and learn. I know the path ahead is a scary and rough one, but I know it's nessascary for me to be happy and safe for the future to come.

It's a long journey ahead, but I'm willing to try. Everyone should be happy and safe in this world and it's a shame so many people in this world feel the need to suffer in silence. It's not okay and it's not right to let people continue this way. I'm extremely grateful for sites like these and I hope there will be more in the future. So everyone has access to help. A place where they can feel safe and happy.
