New to the 7 Cups Community in February 2018? Say Hello here!

Hey there, just joined this site a few days ago as a listener. Its been a good experience till now and i hope that future is good too. Lots love😘❤

Hi all im not sure where to start I suppose im just overwhelmed with my life right now.

Hope u r all well though

Hiya! I joined 7cups in 2012 and helped a few people, one of which I'm still friends with, six years later. I haven't been on 7cups in around four years though, and honestly have no idea how the new mobile app works (please gods, I made my bio when I was 14, let me change the cringe 😂).

I've been through a lot and have discovered quite a bit about myself in the past few years. Finally realized I'm trans and changed my name from Lily to Skye, accepted my sexuality, and I've lost ~60lbs (another 50 to go :p). My brother died, my sister is addicted to heroin, and the year I joined 7cups was actually because my father committed suicide and I couldn't handle everything. I finally have friends now and a loving community that supports me, so I'm on the path to recovery.

But I'm here now, back again, and hoping to help everyone with what I've learned along the way.

Hi! My name is Sarah and I'm a new active listener on 7 Cups as of yesterday :)

Hi, I'm Mochi or E, and I go by they/them pronouns

I joined 7Cups because I wanted to help myself recover from past tramua and depression and anxiety, and I also just wanted to bring a sense of peace and stability in to my life.

I hope you all have a lovely day :)

Hello everyone!! Glad to be apart of 7cups. I love all the support and encouragement Ive been getting here.

Hi I signed up a while ago but never gave it a chance until now.

I've been struggling for a while with depression and anxiety and thats caused a lot of problems for me, the most prominent being with my relationship and driving. For the past year, I've become quite anxious driving and would even say I have a phobia in some ways. Anyway, today has not been great after deciding that I needed to get out the house, took the dogs to a lake in the car (drove for the first time in months) and my car breaks down in the front of a busy junction and to make it worse my hazard lights stopped working, had to wave people to overtake me through a stream of tears as some were shouting at me. Feels like any progress made with my confidence is swiftly swept from underneath me and every time I try to make things better for myself, i'm knocked back down.

Hi everyone. Im 16 years old and im also New to this. I hope to make myself better and to also help others.

Hello everyone,

I'm really not sure what to post here but here we go. I'm seeing a therapist to help me with my severe depression. I've always had a very hard time opening up to people, but I'm hoping that this community will help me with that.

My depression has caused me to close myself off from the few friends that I did have. My family is in another state, and they seem to think that I am just being dramatic. That I could snap out of it if I really wanted to. It has destroyed my 19 year marriage and has taken a huge toll on my kids. I need people to talk too, a safe place to be able to open up without the fear and anxiety taking over.

So here's the first step.

Hello! I'm new and I'm looking forward to being involved in this lovely community :)
