New to the 7 Cups Community in December 2017? Say Hello here! And get to know others who joined in December too!

Here I am! Found 7 cups on a women of color FB group for scholars. Been lonely and am typically lonely as or after classes end in Dec. Ive been ignoring my email and procrastinating on a paper overdue. Spending money and not keeping track of budget. Wasting money and shopping for food or things is the only consistent thing Ive done for myself. Sometimes I should be writing or answering emails. Its a loneliness. I always think Ill intrude on people when I think of reaching out. It cannot be impromptu.

I moved to new place. Dating here isnt happen. yet. I moved from a open all night mass transit city to one that is not without a car.

Hi everyone, I'm ScorpioFairy, and I've had social anxiety all my life. I'm here because I saw my two best friends today for a Christmas get-together, and though I had fun, I feel completely full of self-loathing and disappointment for my awkward and perhaps inappropriate moments, one of which got a strange facial expression from them and a change of topic! Here to talk to people who want to bang their heads as well.

And Merry Christmas all!

Howdy!

Hellooooo!!

I am a ex Royal Navy Engineer, best job in the world. I am have a wonderful wife, and a son who means the world to me, he turns 7 next week!

i am mostly bed bound for various reasons spp

i still do not not know where i 'belong' on this site yet but I am hoping that with your help and some searching I will find the right place to be.

on nights like this I especially need people to talk to, not about anything in particular , just anything so I can be distracted sufficiently from my own unwanted destructive thoughts.

Hello guys, I am new to 7 cups , I will try to keep this short,

It is not easy and you will see why, but please give it a read as I need your help and wisdom, new and old alike.

I have been a member for a while but I have done very little since then. Today however I have scratched beneath the surface and have unearthed lots of nooks and crannies with people to talk to, things to do and information to read for support.

so I am counting this day as my real first day. As today I'm giving 7cups a good fair chance.

I am a 30+ year old English Royal Navy Veteran, (Best job in the world).

I am have an amazing wife, and my boy who is my world I am so proud of him, he was born a month before I first collapsed ill , his birthday is next week!

The reason I am here...I am bed bound for most of the day for various layered reasons,...During the painfully long long dark night is when trying to stay alive becomes the hardest part of my existence, and this is when I need you guys the most.

I got a very rare cancer while fighting Somali pirates, I was diagnosed in the final stage, it took 7 months of battling, I relapsed and it spread to my brain, I were hours away from death 3 times and somehow survived!

Because of the extreme amount of chemotherapy and steroids I received, it gave me a bone disease (AVN) which also did a very rare thing.

so as it stands I have had both of my Hips replaced, then Both of my shoulders replaced and now I have both of my knees being replaced next year. The disease has left the rest of my joints (that are left) damaged with varying amounts of severity and extreme pain.

Now due to the things we did and witnessed in the military, the torture endured while imprisoned In hospital during cancer treatment. and last but not least the resettlement and adaptation (or lack of) of living with a 40 pills a day extremely painful bone disease.

It has taken its toll. A heavy heavy toll, not just on myself but for now I'm trying to keep this thing short lol.

Clinical depression, PTSD, Adjustment disorders, Insomnia, drug induced confusion and memory loss, Permanent anxiety and paranoia.

But all in all I'm still a pretty decent and all round nice bloke, Silver linings and all that! Lol

Ok so now you know a little about me, I still do not not know where I 'belong' on this site yet but I am hoping that with your help and some digginging I will find the right place to be.

On nights like this just past I especially need people to talk to, not about anything in particular , just anything so I can be distracted sufficiently from my own unwanted and self destructive thoughts.

Please help me guys.

This is me.

Thankyou :)
