Thursday, August 17th ! Joined 7 Cups today? Great! Say hello to the community and introduce yourself!

Hello my name is Hylia and I'm 27 years old. I've been using this briefly for about a month now. I have bad anxiety and depression which the anxiety never goes away and the depression comes and goes. I've tried pills and most just make my depression much worse. I'm nowhere near where I want to be in my life and this crippling anxiety and depression just makes it worse. Um well I guess I hope this helps and I guess that's it.

Hello everyone,

I'm new here but I think this is going to be perfect for me. I am currently attending online college to become a counselor so this will help me to be prepared when the time comes. I also like to help people and have been the one people turn to when they are having problems in their lives. I'm excited for this new opportunity :)

I'm Hannah, 26, I work two part time jobs. I don't have a lot of time to spend with other people. I get lonely and depressed. I really like star trek and anime also video games and comics, Disney movies, sci-fi. Maybe you like some of those things too.

I have been diagnosed with social anxiety disorder and ADHD. I've spent my whole life struggling to fit in with other people. I have a want to be with other people like myself but a fear that nothing will work out or I'll get hurt. So I end up not making any friends.

It hurts the most when I see people with families, when I see daddies being with their daughters and treating them sweetly like princesses. Like they deserve to be treated. I never had that, so when I see it, it feels like a depression trigger. I want this to stop happening because people could get angry with me if I were to publicly state, I'm sad because you have what I never had in my life and what I crave every day!. I mean, what am I supposed to do.

Sometimes my husband role plays with me like he pretends to be the daddy and I'm the little. He cuddles with me and we read books together and he puts stuffies in my arms. He brings me a drink in my cute Disney cup. I never tell people about this part of my life because it is probably looked down upon. People see "adult little" and associate it with something gross like pedophilia when it has nothing to do with it. He does those things to help me cope with my sadness. I don't and have never had parents

Hi guys,

my names Connor I'm 23 and have been going through social anxiety/ depression/social isolation for years now. I'm really struggling as of late to the point that my studies have been majorly affected and bad stuff sometimes goes through my mind. I don't know what to do just thought it might be a good idea to talk to someone.

thanks

Hi everyone!

my name is Taylor and I have known about this group for a while but just decided that today I'm going to give this a try.

I've been having a tough go for a few weeks now. A lot of things just piling up on each other. Started a business and have a new family this year and I'm having a hard time dealing with financial, work, family and house stress. This summer has not been the greatest and I don't really know how to be happy like I used to be. It feels impossible to be care free anymore because there are SO many things that need to be cared about, it's all really too much sometimes. I can't just be unhappy either because I don't want to interact with my daughter when I'm stressed and have no patience because then our relationship suffers. Feeling lonely, stressed, depressed, on the verge of having total freak out moments because nothing is in my control anymore. Life is tough right now :(

I am new to this but

have really bad depression

And most days I hate myself

Hello, my name is Ruth. I'm 15 and I'm in 10th grade. I'm constantly stressed because my busy schedule and my family's financial problems. I also have a lot of social anxiety, which has caused me to become reclusive and avoid most interacting with other people, even my family. I would like to worry less, but I can't. I also can't help but feel that some of my parent's money problems are my fault.

Hello, my name is Julie. I'm a 28 y/o business owner who's having trouble juggling all the business/my staff needs, my husband&sons, plus making trustworthy friends in a state far from where I was raised. Breaking my ankle has made me slow down and loose all my athletic based hobbies (which normally takes stress down.) I'm excited to find a new outlet to keep myself level.

Hello. Late 30's, recently unemployed and tired of trying alone.

Joined on the recommendation of a friend, so let's see where this goes. I've had what seems to be or feels like a lifelong issue, definitely not as social as I would hope. Near perfect way to explain is seeing black and white where my world was once color. I always try to better myself and at the same time beat myself up, go figure lol.
