Just a silly silly bean. in a silly silly world. meep. :P

Might become a listener in the future once all my problems are solved, not only from the help of 7cups, but with actually physically doing something about it, and therapy. I absolutely love 7cups though for such a special community i'm apart of and I can actually see myself getting better the more I vent and reply to others, telling them everything is going to be okay, because I knew even in my deepest darkest moment, even then I knew I was going to be okay, before I discovered 7cups. so, even if your going through the worst times of your life, I believe you can get better, you might not believe it right now but i will if you won't. Love yourself <3

What a silly morning :)

...See more I have rainbow beads on my black converse, i put them there not too long ago, about a month ago. my mom didn´t say anything and nor did anyone else say anything. i´ve received one compliment on them. this morning, my mom said for me to take them off as soon as i get home from school, ¨those colors mean gay¨ she said, or something like that, i looked at her confused, because this entire time i´ve kept quiet about sexuality with her, considering what happened a year and a half ago, accidentally coming out to her was something i want to forget. ¨you are straight.¨ she said sternly at me. my intention to put the rainbow colored beads on my converse was so they looked pretty, not because i was coming out to the world as this gentle pansexual giant who struggles having a simple conversation with people, internally i thought this was silly, so i said and i quote: ¨oh but the beads i put on my shoes are solely for decoration and style, i had no intention of meaning anything else.¨  as i sat in the car with her and my siblings, she continued about how people here in america are disgusted by all things (true, true by the way, from personal experience) and that even a simple act can get people to think about you differently, so that made me wonder,  who assumed i was gay because of my shoe colors? what if i were straight and i just genuinely liked rainbow colored shoes? why are we assuming a sexuality over shoes?? 😂 i mean, she wasn´t wrong about me being gay, like openly gay and keeping it a secret from her, but imagine if i were straight 😅 my mind came to the one person my mom interacts with, and i genuinely don´t like this woman who talks to my mom at all because she goes on forever with her right after school, and causes us to be late, so i assume its her who assumes something about me considering my mom doesn´t talk to anyone but her lately and nobody has had a problem with my shoes  anyways i don´t think i´ll ever be approaching that lady ever again, i´ll stick to waiting in the car, thanks. i´ll keep my styled shoes and my gayness to myself. 😃🏳‍🌈🫶 if you get to the end of this,  if your comfortable this is your reminder to come out to a person your close with! your loved! ❤🥹

Gentle Reminder :)
Self-Esteem / by Nate715

...See more Since my self esteem has been up and down lately, i should remind everyone of one small thing :) Your enough and you don´t need to change yourself for anyone. regardless, there will always be someone complaining and criticizing you so its best to stick to what you enjoy. are you truly happy pleasing others? think that before you agree to doing something. who cares if others stare and judge you, they are not you.  Love yourself, get up and do something you genuinely enjoy today, or maybe do something that´ll give you a confidence boost, no matter what your situation is, look at the bright side and i hope you have a positive day. <3

gymnastics, weight, and height do not go together for me
Self-Esteem / by Nate715
Last post
 January 31st
...See more Hey everyone! Back then, In 6th grade i was already insecure enough until my mom put me in gymnastics. i admit, gymnastics was fun, its just terrible with the group of people i got into. I was put into the 8/9-12 group i assume? level one. i didn´t have a gymnastics leotard. which was fine because leotards are optional.  at 11 years old, i was quite tall child. my sister too. i was 5´7 and my sister was 4´10-4´11 possibly.. these girls within our age group were small and thin, all of them were possibly shorter then 4´8 and weighed less then 7 stones, considering most of them were younger then me, i didn´t mind it at all.  Until around 2-3 weeks later. I started getting insecure and self conscious as i realized the ´pro´ gymnastics athletes were my height and shorter. i probably looked pathetic, i was even taller then the gymnastics teacher. eventually, i hated gymnastics because i couldn´t do most things the shorter girls within my age group were doing.  i remember times i cried and i felt deep embarassment for not doing my hardest within those classes. i was scared of heights. typically we went on high beams without anything to catch us under and i had trouble not looking down, sometimes there was a thick mat to catch us, made me feel less nervous. we had ropes, i thought i could climb up the rope and back down, i didn´t even move up that thing, that felt embarrassing. but the worst time was when i thought i could do something like a backflip, i was confident that day, i volunteered to go first with the new gymnastics teacher we had (after our old classes were done my mom signed me up again) and i was halfway there when i fell on the teachers hands and i felt so much embarrassment.  years later, it still haunts me. i never want to return back there ever again. so far, no returns. i´m comfortable doing my own thing, and i´d much rather take classes for fun crafts 😊 (i did it once a fe years ago, super fun!)

Nervous About Dad's surgery next month, and i'm nervous i'll end up being like him.
Grief & Loss / by Nate715

...See more I really thought i wouldn't end up here, especially after my last post being all happy and fun. but i don't know where to put this story. i'm not close with my dad to the point where i could tell him personal things that him in my life to him, but i resemble him a lot. especially because i'm overweight like him (working so hard to lose weight) and i just got told he's having surgery next month, because, well, he's overweight and he had tumors that could grow back. (not specifying where) he's been struggling to walk and he sits for most of the day, and when he does walk he uses a walker to get around everywhere just at home. he hasn't been out in a while and when he is he's often at the hospital for check-ups.  he's continuously eating as before, but more veggies and no red meat, as what the doctors said. for me, its carbs i have to cut but i can't seem to do it, so i've been walking a lot more and trying to go out as much as possible and drinking more water.  I'm trying to look at the positives here, he did say earlier to his sister, my aunt, that he does want to get better and he's truly trying and i believe in him and i believe that surgery could go well.  but none of my family members ever had surgery, at least no surgery for a few decades. i've only known that my mom had surgery to remove her gull bladder, maybe her gull bladder stones? i'm not too sure. and i've got a huge phobia of surgery and i'm terrified it doesn't go well.  I don't want him to die and i want to be healthy, i want him to see me graduate. but it sucks being in a family where health issues are just passed down.

...See more Happy Holidays and Merry Cupmas! 🎄🎁🎅 This is my first Cupmas and i'm so glad to be spending it with all of you in this wonderful positive community filled with people who are just like me and go through similar things. My Christmas wish For everyone is that all their problems are solved - including mine, and to find inner peace for 2025, knowing i struggled with a ton for 2024 but not as bad as mid 2022 to early 2023 - which i'm so close to finishing that road to recovery. it felt like just yesterday i joined 7cups and now its been almost 2 months and within those months i've met so many nice people such as @heather225 during the christmas discussion groupchat and @cheerymango, seeing her posts put me in a good festive mood and some local members i've met in the teen groupchat and support room were awesome pals and relatable when it came to chatting with all of them!  4 days until cupmas day!!11!!11!

Food choices, dieting, and any motivation to continue dieting?

...See more hi everyone! whether you may or may not know me, i'm nate.  by the time im posting this, its close to midnight, but just know i had a doctors appointment today, not the time im done finishing this which is 11/26. As you can tell, i had a doctors appointment today, and it wasn't a very good one.  i'm in my teens, or i'm 13, and obese. not physically obese too much, just extra meat on the bones here and there, some being more then other places. I'm an extremely tall teen, 5'9 1/2 and so are my siblings, but they aren't as tall as me when i was their ages. so, i guess my height also helps with my body.  and, i'm not gonna hide anything, i'm just going to say it straight up, i'm 2-4-2 lbs or 1-0-9.8 kg. every year i'd gain about 3-0 lbs but from ages 12-13 i really tried to cut down as much as possible, and i ended up gaining only 1-1 lbs i'm at risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and a stroke. along with that, my father is also obese and he recently ended up at the hospital for a blood clot. my mom's side of the family has a history with diabetes, which i assume its a higher risk to diabetes now that its passed down? if i'm correct? i have stretchmarks which cover 65-70% of my body and i learned to be confident in it :-) My doctor put me on a low/no carb diet, which is where the food choices and the dieting comes from, and it hurts, but after a couple hours, i think i might get used to it, restricting and stuff. so i ask, any motivation to continue dieting and what i should do and what not? my goal is to lose 9-2 lbs and i'm going as low as i can with the carbs, 10 and lower with breakfast, lunch, and dinner foods, and 20 carbs or less with snacks for now until i see a change in weight. really unfortunate since thanksgiving is right around the corner :( any recipes, motivation, and how many hours i should be walking a day? one way i'm motivating myself is knowing i'll lose weight and knowing theres tons of people who are doing a low carb diet too and its not just "fat" people, it can be anyone. plus, i get to go shopping to find and make tasty low carb meals for the next 3-4 months, which is what my doctor put me on and hopefully i'll lose 12-24 pounds :-) to any teen or adult who goes through the same thing, obesity, or health problems, just know your not alone and we can start our weight loss/getting back to good health journey together! i'll keep everyone updated once i go to the doctors again today (its 12am as i write this) to get a blood test, and hopefully theres nothing wrong. love yourself, and theres always a hope to change for the better of your future <3

emotions?-

...See more Has anyone else just feeling empty lately? sort of this numb, empty feeling like your just existing? that's what I feel like right now and a little heartbroken, honestly.  I assume the empty feeling just comes from routine and being at school, because its the only place I get this feeling, nowhere else. and there are many times at school I've just accepted everything that happens. the only thing i'm looking forward to on Thanksgiving break is actual thanksgiving, not sure if its because i've been waiting such a long time I can't take it anymore, or maybe because my Thanksgiving break starts so late? (11/22 - ???)  let me know when your Thanksgiving break starts, I feel like my break starts way too late. winter break last year for me started 12/22. anyways, back to the feeling, anyone feeling that lately?
