Hi. I'm trying my best and moving through the slog. You're all welcome to call me Trying or really anything to takes your fancy. I'm a mom and wife and learning to navigate everything all over again.
Peace and Love

Hey 👋
I’m a mom of 5, ages 20-12. One lives away from home on her own. One in college. 4 years ago our home was turned upside down when things done in the dark came to light. 2 years later when the courts opened back up the wounds were reopened. I’m coming to terms that I have PTSD and I’m to the point where I’m in fight or flight every day, sometimes to the point it affects my day. I’m doing the work to process what happened but I struggle to talk about it outside of my head. Even journaling is hard and a mess of rants that get me more upset than help. I want to do things that go against my morals to get justice but I know that’s wrong and I can’t but I dwell on hurting the offender and I’m not a violent person….but trust me when I say he deserves it! I reached out to a facility I trust for medication. I have my aversions to this idea but I understand I need help. I’m still waiting on a call back and I don’t trust my pcp to listen to me. I have no friends who check in on me to see how I’m doing. I’m closer to my clients than I am those I once called my friend. My partner is not there for me like I need even tho I spelled it out specifically what I need, I get told the things I’ve done wrong. I know I’m messed up, I’m trying to fix me and I need help! I’m too much I know it is exhausting.
I’m doing my best to get up and go thru the motions while being there for my girls, which raising kids today is not easy as a single parent; even if you are completely sane! I’m still performing at work even tho I’m going thru the motions and my short term memory is awful lately. I’m going to therapy and reading self help books and meditating. I even got a gym membership today. Exercise releases endorphins, endorphins make you happy, happy people don’t [hurt] other people… or something like that. I’m accepting I operate in Manson’s Theory of avoidance and that’s got me re evaluating things as well
Send me any advice or suggestions or love and acceptance. I need a circle bc I’m not strong enough to do this alone. 🫶
My name is EchoChamber22 on here but you can call me Echo or Leah. I've been on here before but I took a break because of mental health stuff of my own as well as health reasons. I'm a Film School student currently enrolled for Animation and in my spare time I write screenplays and try to volunteer as much as I can.
I'm in a LOT of extracurricular activities as I'm in the Linguistics club, Screenwriting Club, the LBGTQ+ student club, and I was working full-time until Friday 😅 as a Sales agent, now thankfully I'm not doing that anymore and am focusing on my career in the film industry and my schooling.
I'm married too and probably older than most of you. I deal / have dealt with both mental health issues and physical health issues including Huntington's Disease (a fatal neurodegenerative disease), Crohn's Disease, and Social Phobia (Agoraphobia). I want to help others who are going through a hard time, helping others helps me. I also know to watch my own health and mental health because that's important as a Listener, I'm glad to be back though 💕
@EchoChamber9 this is the account I tried to join under, oops lol.
Hey All.
Coming back as a former verified listener lol I was very sick for a long time and had to take a break from 7 Cups. I'm back though, I actually joined up as a different name cause I couldn't remember my account so I'm glad I got into this one lol.
I'm feeling a lot better now, I'm actually now in school for Animation and Screenplay writing and have 2 screenplays that are about to get picked up by two different companies. I am also doing part-time voice acting! Anyways, I'm happy to be back, and I do apologize that I had to leave so quick the way I did last time I was honestly so sick.
@MoonlitSummer
how exciting to have you back! i am glad to heat you're feeling better! if you need any assistance getting settled back in, PM me!
@Heather225 Thank you! I appreciate it. I've enjoyed it for sure, I have had to take a lot of refreshers via the Training section but I'm feeling way more confident than the first night I was back. I am now part of the SP team :) I volunteer here after my classes are done with for the day. Hope you're doing well today!

@Heather225 Hello! I'm new here as a listener, and I'm excited to be here! If anyone has any tips on the best way to find community here, let me know.
@kindsoul2533 welcome to 7 Cups. Good to meet you..
There are many resources available at 7 Cups. Certainly this thread is a good way to meet new people joining 7 Cups.
I find the topic discusssions in group support room very helpful to discusss mental health coping and also being around people. The CommuniTy Calendar lists a lot of these but the communities I belong to offer these https://www.7cups.com/forum/50OverCommunity_193/TeamToolsandTeamUpdates_1705/50plusDiscussionsScheduleandTopics_207920/
