Hey @emzy73 I'm sorry you aren't doing so well today. I know how you feel. I hope things get better for you soon, being numb is an awful feeling.

I know how you feel. It's hard feeling alone. Just know you're not. You always have the 7 Cups family to support you. @TheStrange

How do I actually feel? Like I shouldn't exist.

I know that feeling, you exist for a reason. You are loved and cared for by friends or family, whether you know it or not.

I second what @musicmaniac said. You exist for a reason and you deserve to be happy, because you are a human being.

Glad you are doing well. My dr wants me to take antidepressants and it makes me nervous because I don't want to gain weight How long have u taken them before you felt better. Thanks

Honestly, today was one of my worst days. My best friend's boyfriend almost committed, meaning that she almost committed. Personally, that terrified me. I cried, and I cried really hard. When I cry though, I take out my pain through self-harm. Tonight was really, really bad and I'm terrified it'll happen again one day.

@nightcxrehemmo I am so incredibly sorry you had to go through that. Please try not to harm your beautiful body. I know its scary that it could happen again, you should just try to be there for your friend and her boyfriend. I'm sorry you had such a horrible day.

How do I feel ? Earlier today was rough. I finally made it out of the house to the post office then my husband joined me in attending a job fair and I actually spoke to someone about a part time job. So it's a step in the right direction but some many times I almost cried and ran away before going into the job fair Thank god for my husband who was Very supportive during this time How he puts up with me is beyond me. Who knew that a social person could become so afraid of everything ???
