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

Hi I'm new here and discovered this by accident. I am definitely glad a community like this finally exists.

My name is Heather and any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone who online to chat and get off from the stressors of life

Hi everyone I stumbled upon this in the App Store and am loving everything it has to offer everyone. Thank you for having me be a part of this wonderful community.

Hi! I'm new here! It's very nice to meet you all! Quick question if anyone knows: How do I connect to a listener? It always says that the wait will be two minutes, but it never stops doing the loady thingy.

i forgot to tell you what movie I recently went to see. It was Joker.

Hello everyone.

Why am i here.... In this world

Hi,

I found this through my peer support specialist and thought I would give it a try.

Little bit about my history. My past is filled with all kinds of abuse, in addition to a history of mental health problems that most refuse to do anything about. It's a recipe for disaster.

I feel isolated most of the time. I don't have a lot of friends and am the black sheep of my family.

Fact about me: I identify within the LGBTQ+ community. My pronouns are they/them/their.

My hope is, through this community, to find support and feel less alone.

Hello everyone. I recently joined this website in order to seek therapy at a cheaper rate, but was discouraged when I saw there was an additional monthly fee to begin communication with a licensed therapist. I am in the peculiar position of having a few month's rent saved up, rather than living paycheck to paycheck like I have been for the last 6 years as an educator. I am changing careers, so there is a lot that I am unsure of, but part of my guilt is that I am able to change careers and live right now because I have been successful with gambling. I study computer science for my new career and mathematics as a hobby, so when I find a way that is likely to make money, I take it. This has been great for us aside from the fact that my wife sees it as a tabboo.

There are other issues, and they mostly stem from marital problems. This has led me to become more dependent on alcohol, and not want to meet with others. I've worked to the best of my ability in inner-city schools for all of my adult life, and the feeling that my good deeds will not return to me has me questioning the value of my desire to put others' needs before my own. At the moment, and for the last day or so, after a long streak of anxiety and depression, I suddenly don't have any weight on my shoulders. It's not that I've overcome my issues though, it's just because I don't care what anyone in my personal life thinks right now.

For the first time in my life I am seeking guidance. I am not in the condition to help others right now, but would sincerely appreciate if someone could help me understand a bit on how to navigate this website, or what resources I should consult. My issues run deeper than what I've stated, but I think that's a pretty solid understanding of where I'm at now. Thank you in advance.

I'm new to this and don't have a computer, only an Android, and I'm trying to figure out how this works

Hi everyone. Foud this site and it looks pretty good so thought I'd take the plunge and say hi. First step etc.
