@amiablePeace77

Thank you for this warm welcome, Ami. Happy september to you too!💛

One goal I have (which I hope I adhere to), is a better-ish physical, emotional and mental health. 

How about you?

@Sunisshiningandsoareyou

You set a great goal!

My goal is to take more care of myself in the current heat. 

@amiablePeace77

Aw sending some chilly breeze and ice cream your way!

@amiablePeace77 Thanks for the welcome... Brand New to 7 Cups.

I just set my first goal since I've been fighting Anhedonia and MDD currently which is to try to be happy.  I've just been unhappy and not caring to change that... but 5 days ago I decided I will try to be happy.  It's still a journey with lots of up and downs... but like they say its better to shoot for the moon and miss than shoot for a pile of, um manure, and hit... so- I'm trying to be happy. 

@Tri2BHappy

I am glad you reached out for support and made it your goal to fight Anhedonia and MDD.

Hi 

I’m 56 years old and currently suffering depression for the 3rd time in my life after a relationship breakup and work issues. 

My goal is simply to feel well enough to function so I can live rather than just exist.

Hello, my name is Sunrisestate0fmind

I am female, 18, enjoy listening to music and fishing.

My goal is to start working on my mental health and getting my life on track.

@Sunrisestate0fmind

Hi Sunrisestate0fmind, nice to meet you here! 😀 I hope coming here will help you to improve your mental health so you will have a better life.

Sitting at a river or lake can be very relaxing. What kind of music do you like?

@amiablePeace77

Thank you. Being in the boat in the river or trout fishing in cricks is the best. I listen to a lot of music. Lots of classic and new rock, metal, country, and even a bit of pop and rap.

@Sunrisestate0fmind

You seem to be a real music lover! 😀

@amiablePeace77

It's my favorite thing to do. It has never let me down.

Not a newcomer but feel like it--it's been a while. Anyway, hey y'all, hope you're doing better than me! 😂

@BeautifulCurse

Nice to meet you here. I am doing well! Discussion in mindfulness tomorrow (Monday) at 3.30 pm edt., topic mindfulness and music. You are very welcome to join. Listening to music helps many people to feel better.
