[Listeners] Farewell/Taking a Break/Returning Thread: Send Your Regards

Last post
 Wednesday
...See more This is the public support counterpart of this thread [http://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenersOnlyForums_38/ListenerSelfCare_95/FarewellTakingaBreakReturningThreadSendYourRegards_4132/1/] [L] so that listeners can let the whole community know if they are leaving or if they have come back. Below excerpt taken and modified from the original thread: Some Listeners decide, at one point or another, to take a break or in special cases to leave the site as a Listener. During their time here they may have made connections with others in the community and sometimes people aren't aware that they have left or are misinformed and thus never get the opportunity to sent their warm wishes. Thus, this thread is meant for Listeners to inform the community that they are leaving or taking a break and leave their appropriate comments for others to read. Moreover, returning Listeners can post here as well to inform the community that they are active again. Returning to 7 Cups after a break? We have a welcome Back Committee now, you can find information here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenerLearningJourney_149/WelcomeZone_2385/WelcomeBackCommittee_295611/] (clickable), and reach out. Your peers and mentors are here for you. <3 Lastly, others in the community can send their regards to these Listeners. [L] indicates a Listeners Only thread [Welcome back committee information added by Sunisshiningandsoareyou, 02/10/23]

...See more We often time come to 7 cups in search of something: -Someone who understands -Someone to talk to -Someone who will listen -Someone to keep us company Many of us find that - which is awesome! However, there may come a time when as a member, you are ready to leave. And that is okay. It doesn't have to be forever or even an awfully long time. Maybe you are leaving to go out to eat with friends for the first time in weeks or months. Let us know so we can send you off with warm regards!

It feels too late to have meaningful romantic relationships.

...See more As silly as that may sound, perhaps I am being pessimistic. That is a possibility, but I always felt like over our earlier years we sort of build up or gain a semi understanding of relationships in some capacity. Even if they happen to not work out all that well, but me now midway through my twenties it makes me realize that I lack that experience. Perhaps I could get it at some point, but it feels like it would be difficult given my lack of much experience. The expectation especially is for me to take the first step, something I am not sure if I am completely capable of to be honest and I would hate to be embarrassed for not knowing certain things.

Feeling Lost

...See more I feel trapped! Found out someone that I have loved all my life betrayed me. I feel like I have to forgive them because I have special needs children involve, but I am hurting. I want to know how to love without being too attached so I can mentally move on. This person is the only person I have had in my life for over a decade, so now I feel lost after what they did. I pray that I am able to forgive, but it's really hard. The person apologized it seemed sincere, as this person never betrayed me before. So how do I move pass this for my own mental health? Thank you!

...See more Found out that cheating can be genetic. :) just like addiction, gambling.. Soo, that means im prone to cheat? I could be a cheater in future?  thats not a closed option for me? I cant stop thinking negative. I found that im daughter of a man who lost everything because of his arrogance and stupidity and an abusive monsterous cheating woman. My family lost my respect  , now idk how to get it back. I hate all my friends,  fake and snakes. Wish i was different

Family Issues

...See more I had an issue with my mum. Her brother in law came to Sri Lanka, he is loved by all of me my siblings. I wanted to be with him for a few days and introduce my husband too. He came cause his mother passed away. Yesterday I told mum that I will be coming to the funeral and then will stay for a few nights as my uncle is there. When we got home my mum was acting bit strange as if she didnt like my husband I stay for a few days. When I ased about sleeping arrangements she gave us a room with lots of storage and dust and all. She knew this but my husband didnt. When he checked the room he said we cant stay as we both have sinuses. And for the first time in my husband's life (He is a very patience guy who never complaints) he has understood that my mum didnt like us to stay there. Honestly we wont mind staying on floor even. But she gave the worst room. And after the funeral I told my family that we wont stay and we will go back. My mum was not hesitant, she didnt even ask why or didnt ask to stay. I am so upset cause my husband's family never even hurt me by a word, but this is how my mom treat my husband. And today morning, I blamed my mum, but she was saying that eventhough she was tired she gave us a banana, and we are the ones who hurt her. FOr the whole lifetime she has been treating me differently and I have mum issues. I always look for her love and appreciation which I get rarely. This is the first time I stepped up and blamed her. She is a very self centered person, who thinks that we must treat her a queen cause our father passe away. Am I wrong?

...See more Hi everyone hope fully doing great,  it's been many years being a part of a wonderful supportive community, i was so freshen, so good at moods when i was new here, im happy that  Some ppl found me helpful in becoming a positive being. but .. few years back,  i was in a hard time of my life, im on self break since so long, i tried to take 1-1 chats but i couldn't manage my emotions, so i don wana get panic or hurt anyone here so I try to avoid chats. but still, some unknown members chats appears and start calling me hypocrite bcz of im not chatting with them?  hypocrite is that  so easy to call anyone?  because i post on forum a Virtual hug,  and not taking chats, so am i hypocrite?? i want to clear one thing,  listener needs a self care break from taking Chats, because it needs alot of self potential. to communicate and give others ur best. since long time im not feeling much good. that's why im on my break. but it doesn't stop me to post a positive message? right? , u must know as a member or a listener, that we aren't robot. we are real human being. we need self care too. and This platform isn't for help, but to listen, each other and understand the situations. and Make them feel better with the things they know about themselves. No one can help here anyone. but we help our own self by following the positive vibes. im sorry but that made not feeling well.

How to deal with...

 August 13th
...See more I was hoping to find some advice on how to deal with serious negative feelings, not sure what specific forum to go to... I deal with feelings of being unloved and unwanted sometimes and I don't know how to cope with this... does anyone know how to lessen these feelings to a bearable amount? Also be sure to tell me if there is a better place on the forum for discussing big negative feelings.
