I'm a bit grateful to find 7cups, but I used to be a silent reader and not actively participate. For short, I wanna exist anonymously. It's no need to leave any name, but stories. I hope this community will last long enough to encourage others who need it.

I love to sing. In group chat I feel I can lend an ear and encourage others as they overcome life's hurdles.
Hello , this is me and I am in a bad relationship
Hello world. I read about this app on quora.
Hello my new found friends,
My name is Coral and I am hoping to connect with others on this site both to help with my personal insight and to gain more insight for myself. I have struggled with anxiety and depression through all of my teen years and it has followed me down the bumpy road that has been my life.
I did not have a great introduction to this website tonight, as I was told by someone who was supposed to be a listener that I had Stockholm Syndrome, that I was in an abusive relationship, that nothing I was going through can be fixed, and that couples counseling does nothing for anyone. I was also told that my depression was a symptom of a bad childhood and not an illness, because I had been yelled at and neglected throughout my childhood. NONE of which is remotely true! This listener told me this without actually listening/responding to anything I was saying and began arguing with me, despite me expressing how disrespected and hurt I was feeling with the labels being put on me by someone who doesn't even know me. I hope that this does not happen to anyone else, as I am happy I was not at one of my lowest points or it could have had a very negative impact on my mental health.
I am giving 7cups another chance, as I realize that is just one persona and maybe they were just having a bad day, but I pray that no one else encounters such a situation when they are seeking help. I plan on connecting with others as often as possible, at least once daily just to check in at the minimum. I am also looking into starting a new hobby, as my depression has made it so I have very little interest in most things. If anyone out there has any suggestions for fun hobbies, hopefully ones that I can join in with community members or the general public, I would love to hear them! I love to travel and go on adventures, especially hiking, and am thinking about getting into glassblowing or pottery so I can create something beautiful with my hands.
I send you all positive and loving vibes from the Midwest!
@TranslucentCoconut Hi Coral luv!💗, I am sorry for what you have been going through and how your listener handled your situation and making it much harder for you. It is great that you are giving it another go, keep up that spirit, you are stronger than you think you are. Here for you and hope you find it worthwhile being here with such amazing people to help you out now. you are capable of soo much more. Keep Safe Xx🥂
Hi
Im JC the realist
I'm Alfie I'm new to this and I've really messed everything up in my life this time I'm worthless and useless and I've lost everything all my friends/family my mom hates me and doesn't want to see me ever again cause i been self-harming and i need help and support from anyone who understands all of this
@AlfieApolloV
You're not alone. I was a self-harmer for sixteen years before I was able to overcome it. Unfortunately, choices we make not only affect us but our family and friends as well. You are not worthless. You are not useless. You also have a right to your feelings. Feeling is a good thing. It means you're not stuck in an emotionless pit. Your family and friends, let them process, let them heal. It may take a while. Are you getting help? Are you talking to a counselor or therapist? Taking that action and putting to use the skills and tools you learn to cope can put your family and friends at ease. It was hard for my family and friends until they saw I was making a change in my life. They came around eventually. It takes time, friend. Trust the process. No matter how small the step, take it.
Hope this helps you. Remember, you're not alone. You are not worthless and you are not useless.
Hi! I've been using this app for a couple of weeks and I find it really supportive. Thank you everybody for the positive environment here at 7cups. Right now I just want to see something good and positive in the world.
I don't think that what's going on with me is an actual issue, but I'm 28, I'm smart but it's been almost a year since I can't find a job, I can't find any partner (this is not really an issue, because I'm fine being on my own), but it hurts somehow seeing how apparently all my friends getting jobs easily, find partners anywhere, get married and have children, while I just seem to be at the same point as I was 10 years ago. Sometimes it just brings me down. I always try to convince myself that everything will come eventually, but I've been conceiving myself for quite a while (like 2-3 years). Sometimes I wonder whether things could actually get better and I start reaching my goals...
I really try to keep positive, but sometimes it's hard. I know I shouldn't even think about it but sometimes I wonder if I'm in this world for no reason. I really try to believe every single day that this period I'm going through is just like a tunnel and that eventually I'll see the way out.
Thank you for reading and supporting :)
Hey, I'm new. I'm here because of severe depression/anxiety and I have no emotional experience. Like, I know/feel just 2 emotions, anger and happiness; and they both hurt just as bad. Happiness is like being stabbed in the chest and anger is like something is being set on fire. All other emotions hurt or aren't clear. Like a ball of yarn that's gotten knotted and tangled so bad. Does anybody have any advice or forum I can join?
@ASilentObserver
Hello,
New to the site.
Does this group mostly operate through chat rooms or through forum? A bit confused on that.
