[Listeners] Farewell/Taking a Break/Returning Thread: Send Your Regards
by MonBon
Last post
 Wednesday
...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. [L] indicates a Listeners Only thread [Welcome back committee information added by Sunisshiningandsoareyou, 02/10/23]

Starting a business, would love some emotional support/friend :)
by JakieShakie
Last post
 November 5th
...See more In need of long term support! Hello :), my name's Jake. I'm going to build a business for managing social media marketing with local, online and hopefully more businesses! CHALLENGES: I get really emotional at times, some examples can be..depression...anxiety...STRESS! and i have some bad habits associated with all three i'd like someone to help me develope new coping mechanisms that i can stick with :). My current coping mechanisms are competitive online video games, conflict, ruminating on negative thoughts, isolation, "self pleasure viewing material", food, music, flirting, building new relationships. And the severity with which i rely on these things is in that order. } Processing my thoughts and ideas can be challenging and emotional for me, also when problems arise sometimes it can be a little overwhelming and with not a lot of support and coping mechanisms in my life..well you can imagine how that's a struggle for me. Building new relationships in a way that people know the real me. A lot of emotion and conflict arises from people not really communicating with the real me cause it's hard for me to show me what with all the emotions and stress i'm having to process while simultaneously run my life. Breaking free of these things will enable me to build key relationships. INFO ABOUT ME: I'm a bit of a dreamer. I'm not gonna lie this isn't the first time I've had an idea in my mind that i wanted to follow through on and many times in the past i didn't, admitting that isn't anything special to me. What's special is this time I'm asking for help in following through and I'm taking action that keeps me engaged with making progress. Will you be the person who helps me break this cursed habit :)? Examples of things i did today to change things: I watched an online seminar on online marketing i learned A LOT of things i could use right now to start getting clients and doing my job with. I also got things squared away with my work at Amazon so i can continue making money to invest in my business and responsibilities :)

Seeking listener / long-term support from a listener who is blunt and doesn't sugar-coat
by inventiveNectarine4087
Last post
 September 26th
...See more i'm struggling with family stress from caregiving and a narcissistic parent. i'm just wanting someone who will let me check in with them regularly and help me feel less alone. i do NOT do well with people who are too nice ("oh i'm so sorry"), it makes me feel like you pity me and it just feels fake. i don't want a fixer either because my situation can't be fixed, i am just stuck like this for the foreseeable future. i'm seeking someone with a strong personality and is blunt, if you want to talk to me just let me know. I'm currently struggling with depression, lonliness, self-harm, and self esteem. i dont expect anyone to help me with ALL those, we can set limits to whatever you ARE ok with discussing. thanks to whoever reads this <3

Long-term Listener Request
by JustSomeKSGirl
Last post
 August 13th
...See more I am reaching out in an effort to find a listener to help me as I overcome the grief of infertility. My husband and I have reached a point where we are no longer actively trying to conceive after almost seven years of no success and fighting many health issues. The grief of letting go of my dream to be a mother is quite devastating and triggers my severe depression. I am hoping I can find a kind, spiritual soul to help me along in my journey as I try to make it through the process of letting go. Thank you. ♥

...See more Hey, I'm sorry if this is not a good place to do this. If anyone can suggest a better place to look, I would appreciate it. I lost access to my old account, which is a problem because I had a member I had scheduled to talk to today. Does anyone know how to message a member you have the username of? Alternatively, I would call this member siren as an siren's actual username was really long Siren, if you see this, I am sorry for not messaging you today like I had said I would. Please reply here. Thank you
