New here
I’ve been very depressed and withdrawn after many awful years and now chronic pain destroying my life. This is my small attempt to connect. I don’t know what to say - except “hi.”
@Birdie0613 Hi, how are you doing today?
Thanks for asking. I don’t know really
@Birdie0309 Sorry for the late reply. But I hope you are doing well. I'm not too sure about how I'm doing but wish that you're doing okay
Hi Birdie, welcome to the forum. I hope you are able to join in some conversations and start feeling a bit more connected.
@Birdie0613
Hi Birdie, so glad that you found your way to 7cups. Welcome😊❤️
Dealing with depression and anxiety is awfully hard. Please feel free to move around the site, and you will find a lot of variety of things to help you get engaged and familiar with the site. You can also reach out to a Listener for one on one chats. I hope you find the support that you are seeking as well as finding and making many friends. I am glad to meet you and will be looking to see you around the site.
Thanks for the nice messages. I don’t really know what to say. I don’t want to burden anyone with my feelings.
@Birdie0309
Hello. Please try not to feel like anything you want to convey would be a burden. We all have a need to reach out to someone. Just think of it as your Healing Journey, Being able to unleash the turmoil that keeps us prisoners, within. You can say what you need to and release some of that tension and anxiety that builds up. Often times just having a listening ear helps greatly.
However no pressure; move at your own pace. Just know you are not alone but among friends who care.❤️😊

Welcome to you as well. Glad you are here. 💕
@Birdie0613 welcome to 7 Cups. Glad you are reaching out.
Hi birdie0613 I’m glad you took the time to reach out. Chronic pain can be isolating but you are far from alone. I have have several chronic pain issues as well. Remember that your normal doesn’t have to be the same as anyone else’s. Do what you can and be proud of the effort, if that means you got up, ate something, and reached out to say hello then you have had a great day for you. Hugs and hang in there.
