Hi everyone! I just joined as a new Listener. I have personal experience with a variety of past traumas. I have a bachelor's degree in Psychology, and I am hoping to utilize both my degree and personal experiences to help others see hope and positivity in life! I am still trying to navigate everything on the site and get a decent starting point. There is so much information!

What are your goals for being part of the community? Being able to form bonds and hopefully friendships with likeminded individuals and learn from what everyone has to share!
(Listeners) Why did you sign up to listen? I listen as part of my job and genuinely like it (even though I probably shouldn't wear myself thin!

Welcome 🎉 To 7 Cups 🤗
Hi. I am an Invisiblelady8485. I have been dealing with depression and anxiety since i was a kid and just turned 40.
I feel like I am losing my tether to staying here, which has always been my kids. They keep me here but I don’t even know if that will be enough in the future. I texted the 988 number today - something I’ve done about a hundred times before and have never actually texted, but today I did. I feel like that a new low for my life, and I know I should try to reframe it as a positive, but I can’t see that right now. The crisis counselor introduced me to this group, so here I am.
I’m medicated but don’t like talk therapy because I am an introvert. I have tried just about every medication combo. I believe I am a lost cause, but maybe doing something like this group is far enough out of my comfort zone that it will spark some change.
To all other group members that are struggling, I am so sorry. Please know you aren’t alone.
@Invisiblelady8485
Hi Invisible - I'm sorry you're having such a tough time lately. I'm glad you were referred here though. Reaching out for help is a huge step. We are a really friendly and welcoming community, though it sometimes takes a few days to get used to the interface. Please feel free to reach out if you need help with anything. We have some really great Listeners here, who I'm sure would love to chat with you 💗
@OtterlyPositive Thanks so much for your kind response
You’re not invisible, you are not a lost cause, and we love you! I’ve texted 988 before, and they really helped me <3 It’s definitely a positive! You did something productive to help yourself and get some reassurance. Take comfort in that <3
@Invisiblelady8485 hi; same here
Hi 👋, welcome to 7 cups. I am Abosense, I've been a member since a very long time and recently transitioned as a listener for many voices that deserve to be heard with love and compassion.
There is nothing more powerful than being heard and understood.
You are worthy of love and compassion. You matter.
