Introduce yourself.

Hi. I just joined today. I am a stay at home mom of 3. I suffer from depression. I can't leave the house to even go to the store without agonizing over it for hours. I never have energy to do housework, and my husband doesn't really try to understand what it's like for me. I'm looking forward to chatting with people who understand.

Hi, this is Jhontu and I feel I am staring at a long dark tunnel with no light in sight. For the last few years, I have been feeling increasingly disillusioned about many things and I don't know where to turn to. Life has thrown me into a time andplace where I really dont know any more about what is the right course to take. It is now affecting my job performance to a great extent and thats why I joined 7 cups of tea. Really hope to find some good friends, listeners :) it took me quite a while to finally decide to do this online thing ....

Hi, this is T. I've been diagnosed with deep depression 4 years ago. I'm turning 27 in july, still live with my mom (for obvious reasons) and was fired last year after having a nervous breakdown while teaching. It's been hard since I had my first breakdown and I feel like a complete useless living thing, not capable of having a normal life like many people do. It's also quite hard to make my friends understand how it feels, and why it is so difficult for me to do stuff, like... leaving the house.

Anyway, I'm here because I feel it would be good to find people like me to chat, not only for bad moments, but also for sharing laughs and good experiences. I'm glad I found this website.

Cheers!

My post might be triggering. Hello :) I'm spacepuppy and I suffer from Depression, Anxiety, Misphonia, PTSD, and I'm recovering from an eating disorder. I've have done exstensive research on all of these illnesses and these are all self diagnosed. Ever since I was a child, I dealt with suicidal thoughts and even self harmed. Now I'm trying to deal with my Misophonia and sadly.....not many people have this rare condition. It makes living a nightmare. thanks for reading loves:)

Hey there, I'm Patrick. I'm 21 and just graduated college, and the depression that has been mounting the last 4+ years has left me crippled with overwhelming loneliness. I know I'm really messed up in the head because I've stopped trying to talk to people and socialize, because I dislike myself so much that I am too ashamed to try interacting with people.

hi my name in jenie. i got here at 7 cups of tea because i was looking for a site to find people whom i can talk to about my problems which i never have the gutsto share with my family and friends. i have a very low self esteem. i find it hard to make friends. i opt to be alone. im hoping that i would be able to meet amazing people here and get inspiring insights from them and eventually become a good listener too

Hi.I'm austen and i'm 15. i experienced racismfrom the all girls school i was at from the age of 5 till 10. i became depressed and started to self harm. Then i made friends with someone and i got better. However, she died 5 years ago and now, i rarely sleep due to nightmares, self harm and get panic attacks. No one knows about this, not even my family. It's my fault she's dead and now i want to die.

Hi everyone! I'm here because I suffer from anxiety and depression. I am not really into medication I spoke marijuana... I really want to meet friends and to know I'm not alone in my struggle to lead a normal life..

Hi, I have been on 7cups for a while now but never really introduced myself on this forum. I'm 17 and struggle with anxiety and depression, and the after effects of an eating disorder that began 10 years ago. I was severely bullied throughout school and only managed to escape it this past year. It had a very negative effect on me and lead to self harming. I try to stay really positive and hate complaining or talking about my problems because I think everyone else has more important things to worry about. I'm working on getting better and building good relationships, this is where I can come and not have to hide my past. Also I'm happily dating a 32 year old, who helps me feel better.
