Is unknown exciting?
Anxiety Support / by MeMyselfAndHer

...See more Dear all a couple of days ago I was watching random videos on YouTube and I stumbled onto this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_J5J8ap0KQ It is about a Circus family traveling around Europe. It's in Italian so I don't know how many of you will actually watch it...but anyways...around minute 4.30 they interview a young guy about his concern for the future with such a weird job, he is an acrobat. And here came the inlightening for me: the guy just smiles and replies "the future is a mystery, I don't know what to expect and this is so exciting!". I thought it was a good idea to share this with you...it gave me a totally different view about the "unknown", the future that for several reasons I am often so terrified about. I see so many people here have this problem. Now, when I think about tomorrow and my mind automatically tries to go over to "terrified mode", I think about this circus guy and his statement...and switch into "wow, the unknown is so exciting and full of potential!" I really hope I will be able to keep doing this, and I hope this can be helpful for you too guys
Loneliness on 7Cups
Depression Support / by MeMyselfAndHer

...See more Hello guys I have been on 7Cups for a little while and I have to say that, in some occasions, it has been helpful...in some others, it has been actually very frustrating. I got here, as I believe many of you, searching for support, friendship, or, most likely, just someone to talk to. I live a very lonely life, in a desperately isolated place (an island with few hundreds inhabitants), and, unfortunately, I have several psychologic problems (or psychiatric?...who knows...) that developed after a not easy life. The last 3 years, especially, have just been a daily torture, a sequence of bad events that corroded me little by little. As I just wrote, I live on a little island, here we only have 2 little food stores, nothing else. Until few months ago, we didn't even have a general doctor, so, no chance to find any kind of help from professionals in the psychiatric/psychologic field. Once reached the bottom of my sorrow and despair, and having nobody that could help me, I found 7Cups. I talked to some listeners, wrote here and there...and figured out so many times it feels like talking to myself...I wasn't able to build any stable "talking friendship", which is what I actually need. I feel like a throw stones to the void...just write sentences that maybe noone will ever read, and for sure, that noone will answer to. I am pretty sure I am not the only one feeling like this here... I don't want this to sound like a complaint, 7Cups is anyway good, but I wish I could find someone who wants to just keep talking to me, and that wants to be listened. Is my hope in vain?
