Thursday, August 17th ! Joined 7 Cups today? Great! Say hello to the community and introduce yourself!
Hello everyone! Glad you joined! Say hello and introduce yourself to the community here!
I am currently going through some major life changes. Everything I knew has come into question. For starters, I lost my career job of 10 years with the company on January 31st. On, February 14, I was asked for a divorce after 23 years of marriage and a total of 30 year relationship. Lost my home in the process. Lost my identity. Seriously considered ending my life. After major depression, survival skills kicked in.
By the end of April, I found another job in a manufacturing company. I am working assembly at age 49 after working in office management and as an accountant for 20 plus years. Within the first two weeks, I injured myself. The company provided me physical therapy and moved me to another department and trained me as a spot welder. The job turned out to be a blessing. Not only I am drawing a paycheck, I am physically getting healthier, lost 40 pounds, and emotionally able to start handling things. Until this last week, I was working 60 hour weeks, now down to 30 hours.
Now I have time to address my emotional healing and build a new life for myself.
@Lynerai Sounds like you went through a rough time, glad to hear you're starting to get better though. That is really great. ^-^ Welcome to the community! I hope you find the suppot you're looking for!
@Lynerai
Hi, welcome!
I am glad to hear that after a really hard time you had some positive things happening to you.
I wish you things will go better and that you will give yourself the care you need as for now.
@ilenia5 learning to car for me is hard. I have always been the caregiver to everyone else. Any tips would greatly be appreciated.
@Lynerai
Hi again.
Well, when you have time you can try to face this topic conversing with a supportive listener.
If you see me around when you log in feel free to drop me a message as well.
@ilenia5 thank you
Honestly I dont have an answer for you My friend but I thought I'd share with you because your not alone.
My children have grown and married have kids of thier own. My youngest had her baby a little over a year ago . I became lost that I had no one to take care of.
I can tell you hobbies help me. I picked up gardening, hiking and I have new desire to read all about politics lol dont ask... lol . I guess these things distract me . I still feel a lot of frustration, loneliness still but its getting better slowly. @Lynerai
@PamelaLynn77 thanks. I tend to read a lot now too to keep me balanced or just listening to music. Some days are harder than others. However, learning slowly.
Hey everyone! My name is Katherine. I'm 24 years old. Recently I've felt as if anxiety/panic attacks have taken over my life. I now find myself going into a panic over things that I once never even gave much thought to. As a result, I find myself feeling depressed, overwhelmed and wondering if things will ever get better. I joined this community to hopefully speak to individuals who have found ways to cope and manage their anxiety and panic attacks.
@katherinemcc Welcome to the community ^-^ I hope you find the support you're looking for!
@katherinemcc
Hello Katherine!
Wish you to find the support you deserve.
Take care.
Hey all, anxiety seems to be a very common thing now a days. I just want to reach out to you all and say that you are definitely not alone. I suffer from it daily. Just know you got a friend and if you ever need to talk someone is there for you.
Hi. I'm Alice and I am recently going back to talking on Tumblr and 7cups of tea. I have anxiety, depression, and ptsd. Thought it would be nice to talk to some new people.

Hi Alice!
Welcome aboard!
Enjoy your time in this friendly community!
Hello Alice , My name is Pamela .I also came here looking for a few good people to chat with. I could agree with most if your post, I really struggle making friends, I'm not good with conversations. Sometimes I do ok others I bomb hard and normally hate myself after I do that!
I was hoping we could chat sometime.
