[Listeners] Farewell/Taking a Break/Returning Thread: Send Your Regards
by MonBon
Last post
 2 hours ago
...See more This is the public support counterpart of this thread [http://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenersOnlyForums_38/ListenerSelfCare_95/FarewellTakingaBreakReturningThreadSendYourRegards_4132/1/] [L] so that listeners can let the whole community know if they are leaving or if they have come back. Below excerpt taken and modified from the original thread: Some Listeners decide, at one point or another, to take a break or in special cases to leave the site as a Listener. During their time here they may have made connections with others in the community and sometimes people aren't aware that they have left or are misinformed and thus never get the opportunity to sent their warm wishes. Thus, this thread is meant for Listeners to inform the community that they are leaving or taking a break and leave their appropriate comments for others to read. Moreover, returning Listeners can post here as well to inform the community that they are active again. Returning to 7 Cups after a break? We have a welcome Back Committee now, you can find information here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenerLearningJourney_149/WelcomeZone_2385/WelcomeBackCommittee_295611/] (clickable), and reach out. Your peers and mentors are here for you. <3 Lastly, others in the community can send their regards to these Listeners.

Weekly Prompt #36: Can you list five things you love about yourself?

...See more Hello all!  Last week we discussed: What healthy coping mechanisms do you use to manage difficult emotions? [https://www.7cups.com/forum/generalsupport/General_2440/WeeklyPrompt35Whathealthycopingmechanismsdoyouusetomanagedifficultemotions_326804/]  [https://www.7cups.com/forum/generalsupport/General_2440/WeeklyPrompt30Ifyoucanchallengeyourselfforonethingtostepoutsideyourcomfortzone_321887/]If you haven't checked yet, please click here to add your thoughts.  [https://www.7cups.com/forum/generalsupport/General_2440/WeeklyPrompt35Whathealthycopingmechanismsdoyouusetomanagedifficultemotions_326804/] This week's prompt-  Can you list five things you love about yourself?  We often find it easier to criticize ourselves rather than celebrate our strengths. But it is okay to practice self-love and acknowledge the positive qualities that make us unique individuals. So, let's reflect and list five things we love about ourselves. Also, I invite all to help me with creating these weekly prompt discussions so that we all can come together and discuss something related to general support every week. If you any interested in helping me out, please share your interest through this form and  I will reach out to you to guide and support you in creating the next discussion.  [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSefjDBwy85YFxWpfrqrdXbdMORBC-pvJA4xhd10R9lMq66fIw/viewform] Join us in the 24/7 General Support Group Chat to share and support each other. -------------------------

...See more Any new member of the NAMI Community who introduces themselves and takes the NAMI Oath will receive the NAMI Oath Badge. Please copy, paste, sign and date the following NAMI Oath within this thread: NAMI Oath I pledge a moral oath before my fellow active listeners, 7 Cups members and NAMI supporters. I pledge to help support NAMI's mission and to dedicate myself to building better lives for anyone affected by mental illness. I pledge to always try my best to be a positive influence and make a difference in the lives of others. I pledge to be #stigmafree and respectful of anyone who may be experiencing a mental health challenge. I will educate, advocate and listen to others' experiences without judgment or bias. I will encourage acceptance and understanding. When I see that someone needs more than the peer support I can provide, I will refer them to professional help and appropriate resources. I pledge to make my own self-care a priority and recognize when I need to take extra time to take care of my own mental health. I will keep these promises and I will do everything in my power to promote mental health, healing, and wellness within myself, my fellow members and my world. I believe that no one should face mental illness alone and I pledge to provide peer support to anyone who reaches out to the NAMI Community for help. Signed: Date:

I want to run away

...See more I feel so overwhelmed. I hate my life and the little I've done with it. My mother absolutely hates my current relationship, holds so much against me that I know I've done wrong and is making my life *** in the process but I also feel immense guilt because a lot of what she says is true. My girlfriend is ready to leave me after 7 months but I'm still absolutely in love with her. My family is completely dysfunctional and unhealthy and I don't see any signs of me being able to live a healthy, happy life. I've hated my life for years and I feel it'll be that way forever.

Just cruising

...See more Seems like for the last few years I've been in search of true happiness, failing to realize that happiness starts within. It's been very hard to grasp that emotion and pull it towards me and never let it go. I'm physically and mentally exhausted, pushing through life with a fake smile 😃 it's getting harder to mask my true emotions. I'll survive, because I have no choice. Happy Thursday

...See more We all have reasons for being on/in Cups-Land. For us members those reasons are almost always bad to horrible--the more you read in the forums & the more you hang out in the chat rooms, the more you know this truth. I am no exception. I got to thinking about it, & came to the following: Are you here because you decided to join 7Cups, or are you here because your problems brought you here? That is, did you make a choice or was it your fate to wind up on the site? Is human agency real or is it an illusion held by bipedal organisms influenced by environment & heredity? I lean toward the 2nd answer, even though it feels like we make our own decisions. What do you think? Please explain your answer as best you can.
Just a crying vent corner

...See more Notice: if you can't say anything nice then just don't say anything and go... Don't recognise my username?? Then I guess this corner isn't for you to read 🤷‍♀️✨ Yes you can bookmark the thread if you know me but if you don't then please dont unless you want to be my friend then sure message Vent zone                         TW//// Crying my eyes out so hard to the point my eyes are burning, im tired of dealing with all this, I'm drained and I feel like I'm loosing everyone. People find out I'm schizophrenic and walk out my life or they find I'm just a worthless annoying idiot that has no friends 💔  I want to cancel my feelings, wish I could make it my own personal law :/ No feelings = I be okay No feelings = no one has to deal with me I want to go back to when things felt a little okay. If I never talk or talk to anyone then I can't say anything to upset people, seems even just a hi manages to upset people in my life :/ been tryna keep my thoughts to a safe ish mindset but slowly the bad thoughts are coming back :/  I just don't want to do anything anymore, I wanna stay in my bed and not talk to anyone. I know that sounds mean but I can't deal with all this. First day back at school today and it was awful, I got screamed at 😭 First day back and I'm already drained and don't want to go back. This *** hurts and lately I don't trust anyone, even the people that I'm ment to. Maybe that's my head saying it but I really don't trust anyone. I don't want to hurt people  Yet even just opening up about the *** in my life is clearly wrong :( what am I ment to do anymore. Probably just end up cutting everyone off yet I feel alone at the same time The other day I had panic attack, the night mares are back and my whole world is caving in. I just want to scream "I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine" :/ sigh 😞 maybe people would be better off and happy if they never met me I'm so so so exhausted, I relapsed tonight, like 30mins ago. But it didn't help, *** still hurts :(
