Hey, I'm Sparrow (Yes, like Captain Jack Sparrow). I have a lot of mental health issues. Autism, ADHD, FND, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety and Insomnia. I've been in foster care for the past nine years because my mother was a horrible person and my father was never really around.
I'm English and half Norwegian: Currently in the Uk.
I'm Al, and I just signed up. I'm looking for lots of chatroom-like resources to help me out, because online chatrooms just seem to be what clicks for me coping with anxious thoughts.
@alperthe welcome to 7 Cups. I like the Group Support - Chat rooms. YOu can click on chat at the top of the page and when that page pops up toward the left click on Groups.
Anothe option if you like topic chats that are less free wheeling and more structured are these. https://www.7cups.com/forum/50plus/QAsDiscussionsResources_1770/50plusMindfulnessDiscussionTopicsJulySept2024_207920/
There are others under the Community Calendar.

Hello !!!! I'm new here because I feel lonely most of the time.
Hello, I'm still new here, I've been looking at and observing and participating in from time to time what 7cups has to offer. It took a bit to read through and catchup to you all here. And reading what others have written has sort of given me permission and a feeling of "it OK" to venture out further and say hello. The welcome guide has been very helpful. And the tasks for seven days really helps to orient me around the website. There's a lot to explore and a lot to read. Anyway, I am thankful that a place like this exists and that there are lots and lots and lots of people who want to help. That is remarkable. So, it took me a bit to be able to jump in, but it seems that's the way to do it. I'm still feeling new. I'll probably feel that a little bit longer. Thank you.
Hi. My first week here. Still learning what it’s all about.

welcome! Feel free to reach out if you have questiond
@Heather225 Hi! I joined a little over three days ago and I have to say I'm excited but also scared cause I've never done this before and I don't want to mess up my chats, but I'll do my best so I think it's going to be ok.
@amazingHoney8937 welcome to 7 Cups. It is wonderful that you have excitement but do not be afraid of doing something that needs to be corrected. That is how I learn by making mistakes and learning how to recognize the warning signs and by understanding how to avoid that in the future. A mentor can be a lot of help.

@everyone
Hi there! I am grateful to be here. I started my community track internship last week. Currently learning and figuring out all the threads, groups, and community chats. Feel free to reach out, we are in the perfect place for support and guidance. Have a nice day ahead! Stay safe!
Welcome to newbies and new listeners!
Lots of hope and love! 😊
I've had long-standing depression since age 5 and anxiety since age 12. I'm now 56. I retired from my job on May 1, 2024. I incurred a lot of debt, starting in 2019, in order to keep my house. The main source of my stress is financial. I'm having difficulty focusing on how to spend my days while trying to catch up on 4 years of overdue income taxes. I find doing creative activities is calming for my brain. I find gentle exercise heIps me as well. I have a cat - he's my best buddy. My cat makes me smile and laugh every day. I could use help with how to settle my mind when I'm feeling indecisive.
@plumHuman317 welcome to 7 Cups. I am sorry to hear financial issues are challenging.
Whtat I do to face my challenges is 5 minute Tai Chi on youtube which is music and motions and listen to mindfulness recordings here on 7 Cups.
300 mindfulneess exercises that you can listen to and not even leave the 7 Cup Site
