7 cups: Now Joining the Ranks of Separating the Rich from the Poor.
Safety & Knowledge at 7 Cups / by Sorceress

...See more Not like this will change anything and I wouldn't be surprised if this thread was deleted by the admins cause this is what many capitalists do but can't sit silent either. How many of people with mental problems have much money? Especially to spend on a site when there are housing rents, food, clothing etc. to pay for? Why are the rich(er) more entitled to get emotional help? So much of values and stuff. (Don't care if some lawyer now says: But 7 cups never promised to remain completely free etc.). I would kindly have donated to 7 cups if ever given the possibility. But 7 dollars / a month is expensive for anything to me who has a very unstable income. Now considering leaving the place cause I do not want to be reminded that in our too uncompassionate World (also according to 7 cups) you must deserve it more if you have money. Thank you for your attention.
How to help a male who lives with an abusive partner?

...See more Hey! I have a friend about whom I am worried about. I am almost certain his girlfriend is abusive because she also abuses emotionally other people; me and my friends just had a serious fight with her about her emotionally abusing us. The girl herself just denies she has done something wrong. But I am terrified to think what her partner who is also a good friend of mine experiences since he lives with her. But there is so little information about men being abused and he doesn't talk about his feelings like never, therefore I have no idea how to approach or help him. What should I do? Or where will I find good information about this? I'll describe her girlfriend. She is terribly manipulative and constantly telling how ill she is and reacts to criticism like something unbearable for her due to her bad physical and mental health. Meanwhile she attacks people passiveaggresively and she has admitted hitting the guy. But I mostly vote for emotional abuse. She does seem to be convinced that their relationship problems are all his fault and he is an asshole (although he clearly isn't and she is). Sometimes she's nice too like an abuser is, I suppose, and publicly always kissing and hugging him. She lives in his apartment and on his money, but I suppose that may be even making things worse for him, doesn't it? Like if he casts her out, she wouldn't have almost nowhere to go except for her mum's whom she claims not loving her although the woman is willing to give her last money to her daughter etc. It also seems, whenever their problems intensify she gets 'sicker and sicker'. (I say seems, because I don't live with them and don't know for sure but the patterns are quite certain). I told the guy if he wants to talk he is welcome. But he just said "thank you" and nothing more.
I Was Moved to Tears by this Song

...See more Was watching a series when this song was played at the end. I truly cried (and am still crying listening it again), not because it's a sad song but because the lyrics were a truly heartful thing to hear as someone with Major Depression. I wish anyone told or sang me like this in person. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YRtVHwJNEs [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YRtVHwJNEs]
I need someone who can bear to help me

...See more I'm diagnosed with depression and got some meds... This and self-help and everything slowly went better until today it totally collapsed. My bf is so not understanding but I desperately need support but there's no-one to give it to me. I need someone to support me, to guide me through life, something... Someone!! I fear that alone I will forever at best reach to a status where I am slightly happier but unable to work, study, fulfil my dreams, get away from bf's economical support and above all - be really happy. Please someone... idk I feel so bad. I feel I can't do this alone... At best I wished that some listener connected me but forum answers are ok too. PS. Don't refer me to the suicide helplines because I can only chat most of the time... But all the damn online chats are offline every time I need them!! So I am totally alone in my crisis... PPS. I'm a nasty bitch when I'm desperate... Just that you know.

...See more Hi I love my boyfriend (at least I think I do) but he's soo terrible in emotional stuff especially when it comes to depression but I desperately feel I need emotional support right now and he's my only close family living under the same roof. I tried to explain him, I made a compilation of online stuff accurate for me for him to read but I fear he has forgotten about most of it and he is still so oblivious about most of the illness. (He has said stuff like emotional fluctuation is worse than being depressed although it's actually a sign of getting better when one feels good too!)  I feel so stuck with the problem... It's almost impossible for me to talk about my problems it usually ends up in a fight because the stupid stuff he says really irritates me and there it goes.
