time to leave cups??

@kylersartpace Hi there. This is such a heartbreaking read. I'm so sorry you're missing your friends, finding it difficult to make new ones since you aged up, and struggling in school. You have every reason to feel the way you do, but please please know that there are people who care about you and will notice if you are gone. I know I don't know you but I see you and your posting. It's ok if you don't meet the requirements for ATL. Aging up doesn't mean you have to lose friends. It's just a transition and an adjustment. Did you know even if you aged up, you can still chat with your teen buddies? Check out the Pen Pals Community and there you can make a thread tagging your friends. I love the forums. It's a great place to meet people. Did you know there's the Peer Appreciation Program where you can also send your buddies a sweet note of appreciation? A smile spreader will deliver your message to your peer in a beautiful way. These are just little things you can do to let your friends know you miss them and are thinking of them. :) As far as how you're doing in school, I really hope things get better for you. I know at times things may seem discouraging but please know you are a smart, tough cookie and you can do it. I'm rooting for you! 

@kylersartpace Kyle, I'm sorry your experience with 7 Cups has been unfortunate. :(. I hope you can still find good people here, yeah sometimes we have our own issues too. I agree it's sometimes unsafe for me too

Hello, I hope you are well

I understand, I'm in a similar situation too. If you need someone to listen or support you, I'm here.

I can't help you with this app because I'm still new and I don't know how to use it,But you can try forums or other advice that people tell you.

I know it's hard, but I wish you the best.I wish you the best with your studies. Doing the best we can is the best.

I send you my greetings and a hug. Take care of yourself. Try writing on different forums or interacting here and there or talking to someone who will listen to you.

Have a nice day/afternoon/evening. You can 🫂🙌

@kylersartpace

Same here but it's only been a few days since I aged up. The age up forms are older than time itself. Adult life makes me want to off myself.

@kylersartpace

Aging is difficult throughout life and it’s exceptionally challenging at particular points. Change into the completely new alongside loss of those you had support with is a really hard and painful adjustment. It is just an adjustment though.

one door closes and another opens, so they say. I can’t begin to understand how daunting it may be coming into adult side of cups as ages now varies much more vast. What i can say from experience is there are many groups, forums and guided discussions that value everyones participation that are more outward in expressing the gratitude in your being there. There also also many great adults in all stages of their life that have so much wisdom to learn from, who could also learn from you as (speaks for themselves) as might if not definitely be out of touch with the youths and struggles they face. 

A big underlying and widespread common trait is that we all really do care. Sorry your experience had lead to a different perspective but don’t give up, you will find your feet before long and when your friends/ support age up, you can potentially help them through such a tough time.

I hope you know you are not invisible. Welcome to the aged up side of cups, we are happy to have you.

@kylersartpace hey, tell me, why would anyone be there for you when you don't wanna be there for your self? In this world no one is gonna feel what you feeling, and to be true no one is gonna care either. Friends, siblings, parents, everyone is gonna leave one day and you can't stop them. You'd leave too and no one is gonna stop you. But does that mean your life is worthless? NO!! The truth cannot be changed that you have to make it all alone, people have done it already. They built themselves up and created more stronger people and society. You know that feeling right? The feeling of loneliness, get up, built yourself, and then, help other and guide them to get stronger. If you really want to get stronger let me know, I can help. Remember, staying weak is a choice made by lazy people. Embrace your inner strength, make yourself proud

I’m so thinking about you!! My son is a freshman in college. He’s a really smart kid (valedictorian in June), and he is struggling too. He has ADHD which makes it even harder. I think we all might have some ADHD when we are sitting in front of something overwhelming.

I sit down with him each night and we make a plan of attack for the current week and the next 3 weeks. Make a plan on how you want to tackle this stuff. Most importantly…..don’t try and hide. It’s the most logical choice your brain wants to make. I have to stop him constantly. I’m so sympathetic to your struggle. It’s hard when many areas of life seem challenging.

Don’t leave! I’ve only been on here a handful of times and I never know what’s happening. People care. But, I think a lot of us are here because we are struggling in some way.

sending you a big “ you can do it” hug!

@kylersartpace  I'm sorry that things are not going your way. Please do not feel like you're on your own , as standard as this sounds, the 7Cups community is here for you! In terms of college, maybe speak to your professors/ the advice and counselling service on how you're feeling about college! Aging is a difficult process, but please remember to be kind to yourself ! Life is something new, you've never done this before, so do not feel that everything has to be perfect, take things day by day. And please do feel free to message me if you need to !

I’m sorry to see you go; you’ll be missed.
