Hi all. This is me such as I am...
Male, 52. Veteran. Most likely have moderate PTSD, although never been diagnosed. Going through some really severe (at least for me) anxiety and depression following my wife of 19 years telling me that she needs abreak to figure out and fix herself, and she doesn't know whether or not she will want an "us" in the future.
I am working on getting myself into a therapist, but that takes a little bit of time, and I'm hoping I can find some support on here to at least help me keep my head on slightly straight, and have some small sense that someone, somewhere cares...
pathetic, I know. This is not the "normal" me. But it is me right now.
Hello, @derangedlunatech
Welcome to 7cups, we're pleased to see you have joined!
I'm sorry to hear that you believe you're struggling with PTSD as well as anxiety and depression with the addition of your wife informing you with the idea she needs a break. I can only imagine how difficult things must be for you to cope with right now but know we're all here for you. It shows me incredible strength that you're looking into therapy but of course, it can take time and I wish you all the best with that path in your journey. It totally isn't pathetic in any way. You're entitled to have feelings and this idea of what is and what isn't 'normal' really doesn't matter because you and your experiences are valid. We hope you can have an awesome experience here and wish you well.
Take care!

@thatgurlbelen
Had rambled about my bad day today and you listened well. I had a great chat with you. A little simple question about my ramble made me remember my positive successes and made me feel better.

hi im new!
i just joined 7cups yesterday and i joined for a couple of reasons. im super super shy so i struggle making friends (i just joined a new school, too). i feel like im not good enough to talk to some people or i just dont have what it takes for them to be interested in the conversation. im not sure on how to be more comfortable with talking to them. i also have some self esteem issues. im not comfortable with myself and i would really like to change that. im here to make some friends that can help me or that i can help :)
Hiya, @noodlegiraffe
Welcome to 7cups, we're pleased to see you have joined and hope you can have a great experience! I'm sorry to hear that you feel you're not good enough to talk to some people or that you don't have what it takes for someone to be interested. It must be difficult to try and tell yourself otherwise, but there shouldn't be any set expectations for a friendship and so I hope you're able to find it easier to make friends, soon. I'm prpud of you for deciding to join here, where I hope you're able to get the support you deserve. We wish you the very best.
Take care!
@noodlegiraffe hi I
I joined a few days ago and have chatted with a few. I hope I have been of help to at least a few. Much to learn though.

Hi. New to 7 cups. Still trying to figure it all out. I've hopped on a few forums and tried to get a feel for it. Hopefully this place can really open that box

Hey'all
Not exactly new to 7cups (I've made lots of dummy accounts) but decided to jump in here to be in a supportive community.
Been at it alone for quite a while and when I'm down I come here to talk to people who listen. It feels very therapeutic.
Maybe it's also time for me to do the same, learn from the listeners and help others too.
Hi there, @jacnotjac

Take care!
I dont know who I am or what my life is meant to be anymore. Im just so tired.
The man I love and thought loved me is just over me. And that feeling cuts so deep. Im always being called stupid and a bitch and a whore. I just want to understand why he sees all that about me. I do so much for him so much to show my love for him but its not enough. Im not enough.
It doesnt matter that Im the mother to his child. if hes even my child Ive been nothing but faithful to him. How could he think that? It doesnt matter that I wait hand and foot on him. Because he works and makes the money while I sit on my ass and watch our son so to make up for not working I clean, cook, take care of our son, cut his toe nails, get up at 5am to make him breakfast before work. I pray that I dont mess up in any of the task either Bec the criticism Ill hear is too much at the moment.
Im tired, I just want to be loved. I want to be equally valued.
@BluePenny12 Welcome to the site.
