A Heartwarming Experience with "JustMeForYou"

A Sweetheart and a Fantastic Listener!

With an impressive 50 years of listening experience, Chris deserves sincere appreciation for the exceptional qualities he brings to this platform as a listener. His non-judgmental approach, coupled with a profound sense of empathy and compassion, sets him apart and, in my experience, may place him among the very best.

Chris possesses an extraordinary talent for uplifting spirits, providing invaluable guidance, and offering the support necessary to navigate life's peaks and valleys. I express my deepest gratitude for all he has done for me. His genuine care and steadfast support have truly made a significant difference, and I consider myself fortunate to have connected with such an exceptional listener.

She was 92.  We cried together.  It was a happy cry.

I want to share a true story with you that has shown me the incredible power of compassion. Recently, I visited a nursing home where I met a 92-year-old woman who felt lonely, scared, and depressed. As we spoke, I realized what she needed was a connection with another person, someone who could offer comfort and companionship.

I read a children's Bible at her request.  As we read, I held her hand. We cried together, and at that moment, I could feel her pain, but I also saw hope in her eyes. It was a small gesture, but it made a significant impact. By simply showing her kindness and compassion, I connected with her and brought some comfort.  

It was an incredibly moving experience, reminding me of the importance of reaching out to those who may be lonely or isolated.  Seeing how a small act of kindness can instantly turn someone's day around is incredible.  

So, if you can visit someone who is lonely or depressed, I encourage you to do so. Your presence and compassion can make all the difference, even if it's just for a short time. Let's spread kindness and love wherever we go and improve the world - one person at a time.


My Happiness Philosophy

When I was a little boy, around 11 or 12 years old, I experienced a sense of sadness that lingered for several weeks. My parents noticed my distress and approached me with concern, hoping to understand better what was troubling me. Despite their efforts, I struggled to pinpoint the root of my feelings and underwent several medical tests that yielded no answers.

It was clear that something was amiss, and I felt lost and disconnected from my usual self.  I turned to my mother for guidance, and she suggested I try reaching out to help someone in need. At such a young age, this proved to be a challenge for me, but my mother encouraged me to offer my time and assistance to our neighborhood veterinarian by taking their dogs for walks after school and on weekends, free of charge.  

As it turned out, this simple act of kindness was transformative for me and set me on a path of helping others. Over the years, I have expanded my efforts from animals to people and served as a listener and mentor for over 50 years. These days, even in retirement, I have plenty of free time to continue supporting those in need through systems like 7Cups and in my community.

I'm grateful to have found a sense of purpose and fulfillment through helping others, and it brings me great joy to know that I can make a positive difference in the lives of those around me.

Did you see the movie "Dear Evan Hansen?" (Triggers social anxiety and suicide.)

...See more I recently watched a movie that beautifully portrays struggles in a very tasteful manner. (Dear Evan Hansen) While it may be triggering for some, I believe it has the potential to help those who are currently experiencing similar afflictions. I want to note that the movie does touch on themes of social anxiety and suicide, so it's important to be aware of this before deciding whether or not to watch it. If you're unsure about whether it's the right movie for you, I encourage you to check out the previews on YouTube and make a decision that feels right for you. As a listener here on 7Cups, I have spoken with many people who are dealing with social anxiety and related issues, and I want you to know that I am here for you. (Please remember that all listeners including myself have active listening training, but if we feel you may have a better option, we would suggest a therapist. They are the ones with education, experience, and a license) There are professional therapists on 7Cups as well as in your community. You don't have to go through this alone, and I would be honored to listen and offer support as you navigate these challenges. Remember, you are loved and valued, and there is always hope for a brighter tomorrow. Please take care of yourself and know that I and all other listeners are sending you a virtual hug. JustMeForYou
Your first Breakup? ...Then this is a Must Read!
Depression Support / by Justmeforyou

...See more Breakups are never easy, especially when it's your first one. It's completely understandable that you feel like everything is coming down on you and that you just want to lay in bed and be sad. But I want you to know that this feeling won't last forever and that you will feel better eventually. Trust me, I have chatted with many members whose main reason was to talk about their breakup. Right now you're not convinced, you are hurting and that's OK. Firstly, it's important to allow yourself to grieve and process the breakup. It's okay to feel sad, angry, or hurt. Don't try to suppress your emotions, as this will only prolong the healing process. Instead, let yourself feel the emotions and express them in a healthy way, like writing in a journal or talking to a trusted friend or family member. If you have none, I am here for you. However, it's also important to not let the breakup consume your life. Try to focus on things that make you happy and bring you joy. Take up a new hobby, read a book, watch a movie, or spend time with loved ones. It's okay to take some time for yourself, but don't isolate yourself from the world. Remember that this breakup does not define you and that you will find love again. Take this as an opportunity to reflect on what you want and need in a relationship. Use this experience to grow and learn about yourself. It may not seem like it now, but this breakup may be a blessing in disguise. Lastly, know that you are not alone. Many people have gone through breakups and have come out stronger on the other side. If you feel like you need professional help or support, don't be afraid to reach out to a therapist or counselor. There are many here on 7Cups as well as in your own community. Talk therapy works wonders. Take care of yourself and know that you will get through this. You are strong and capable of overcoming this difficult time. If you want to talk about it, lets do it together. You may need a shoulder to cry on. That's OK. I will be with you through this. If I believe professional help (not a listener) is better I will help you get one.

Uh-Oh, You are Overthinking again. What to do about it. MUST READ!
Depression Support / by Justmeforyou

...See more I know how easy it can be to get lost in your own thoughts, especially when you have too much time on your hands. But as someone who has struggled with overthinking myself, I want you to know that it can be incredibly harmful to your mental health. When we overthink, we tend to focus on worst-case scenarios and dwell on negative thoughts. This can lead to feelings of anxiety, stress, and even depression. It's easy to get stuck in a cycle of rumination, where we replay the same thoughts over and over again without finding a resolution. I know it's easier said than done, but it's important to try and break this cycle of overthinking. One way to do this is to keep yourself busy with activities that you enjoy, whether that's reading, writing, or spending time with loved ones. Engaging in activities that bring you joy can help shift your focus away from negative thoughts. Another helpful practice is mindfulness meditation. This involves focusing on the present moment and observing your thoughts without judgment. It can be a great way to train your mind to let go of negative thoughts and stay in the present moment. Above all, I want you to know that you're not alone in this. Overthinking is something that many people struggle with, and it's important to remember that it's a habit that can be broken. Be kind to yourself, and remember that it's okay to ask for help if you need it. Take care of yourself, and I hope this letter has been helpful. Sincerely, JustMeForYou

...See more As someone who cares about you deeply, I believe that it's important for you to have some interesting hobbies in your life. I know that life can get busy and it's easy to fall into a routine of doing the same things day in and day out. But having hobbies that bring you joy and relaxation can be incredibly beneficial for your mental and emotional well-being. When you have interesting hobbies, you'll feel a sense of excitement and anticipation that can make life feel more fulfilling. Instead of just going through the motions, you'll have something to look forward to that brings you genuine happiness. In addition to the immediate benefits of having interesting hobbies, there are also long-term benefits to your overall well-being. By diversifying your interests, you'll be less likely to get burnt out or bored with your daily routine. You'll have something to turn to when you need a break from work or other responsibilities. Having hobbies can also help you develop new skills and interests, which can be incredibly empowering. Whether it's learning a new language, taking up a new sport, or exploring a new artistic medium, hobbies can help you grow as a person and discover new parts of yourself. I understand that it can be daunting to try something new, but I encourage you to take a chance and explore some new hobbies. Whether it's something you've always been interested in or something completely new, I think you'll be surprised at how much joy it can bring to your life. Remember, self-care isn't just about taking care of your physical health; it's also about taking care of your mental and emotional well-being. By finding hobbies that you enjoy, you'll be taking an important step towards caring for yourself in a holistic way. I'm here to support you and cheer you on as you explore new hobbies and experiences. I truly believe that you'll feel so much better once you've diversified your interests and added some interesting hobbies to your life. With love and support, JustMeForYou PS: My interesting hobby if aerial photography with my drone.

The best listener out there. Really helpful and amazing. Thank you so much
I know and have talked to people on this platform for a long time 3 years to be exact and this man is the best listener on this site because of so many things and this is coming from someone who is also a listener but he is the one listener i know will do everyone justice and is the one person more helpful than even me and i hold myself in a high regard as a listener. He is patient and genuine and this is something that you ll know the moment you exchange a few words with him is that he does care not everyone does people start to get tired of listening to other people it gets boring or repetitive but this man has been doing it for 50 years which is so impressive plus his typing speed as a 70 year old will bring us young people to shame but honestly he is the one person you need to talk to if you are genuinely interested in fixing whatever you re going through
