Newbie alert!
Hi all, I'm 36, female, single and looking for people to chat with about my issues and to help others with theirs. I'm the friend that people go to for help but I feel like I don't really have anyone to go to myself. I've recently lost my aunty who I spent many months taking care of. I also lost my mum to cancer 9 years ago and I don't think I've ever really dealt with it. I suffer anxiety. I also had a break in about 5 years ago which I also haven't dealt with. One would say I'm a bit of a mess. I am strong but I can also break very quickly

Hey, I'm in my early 40s, I only have my mom, but she is mentally ill. I'm looking for people to chat with. I can relate to being the one people go to, but not having anyone yourself.
Let's chat 🙂
@keeeks84
Is there a way to message you on here?
I have no idea!
@keeeks84
I can't find a way, but you can message me at my listener account "OneArt:
Hey I’m so sorry to hear about your auntie and mother…I understand what you mean “ I am strong but I can also break very quickly “
@emotionalfire Thank you. It's been a tough ride. I find that I don't really deal with things straight away. For example, my Aunty passed in May but then in June, my friends Father became really sick so my focus was on her and helping her get through that. He passed away 2 weeks ago and she is still my focus. I need to find time to look after me. Which is what brought me to this site.
Hello, let’s talk about one. You pick, open up and let that bird fly out of the cage.
@sckottiey Thank you, shall we swap stories?
Sounds like a good place to start. I just turned 50. Married 20 years. Im still in love, but she don’t feel the same. It hurts, we have 5 kids. I have feelings of self harm but would never do anything because of the kids, but I still have the feelings which is sad. I put on a fake smile every day and smile when people are near but look at the ground when alone.
@keeeks84,
Hello nice to meet you! Not really sure if you are still on here since I see that you posted this a month ago, but I’m also looking for someone to talk to since I don’t have anyone either. I’m so sorry you are feeling alone and that you lost your family members must be hard for you, and I hope that everything is going well with you know. I’m trying to figure out myself how private message someone on here if you want to actually chat with them. Maybe becoming a listeners or asking anyone from this site how to do this maybe they could help us out. Ever since I open this site I haven’t had much success in talking to any females yet I only get males which I don’t mind talking to them but sometimes we prefer a female since we can understand each other better. If you do come across my reply let me know and maybe we can see if we can talk to each other take care.
Hi, I’m in the same boat as you. Always there for others but no one is there for me. Maybe we can be there for each other? I’m new to 7 cups too and trying to connect with others feeling like me. Let me know if you want to talk.
I sense strength in how you describe your situation. And that is a good sign that you will get over it soon ❤️
