The Grove of a Spruce Tree 🌲
Hello! You can call me Spruce. I just discovered this interesting diary entry section of 7 Cups, and this is something I’ve been looking for. I need a place where I can spill out all of my thoughts without criticism, and that’s not something I can really rely on through 1:1 chats (even though I haven’t been here for that long, it’s my upfront impression).
I would prefer to keep this as a space for myself, but if anyone would like to send supportive comments for my post, just dive right in! I don’t mind at all 😊
So for anyone who may be reading this, there may be some rough topics such as family stress, severe self-hate, and some pretty graphic flashbacks (but not too graphic). I will try my best not to make this an inappropriate space, but I just wanted to give a heads up just it case it starts getting to that point.
Donuts are in full supply at all times, so feel free to grab a snack when you travel by 😊 And feel free to greet me when you’re here - I absolutely love meeting new people, and I want to build my support group here on 7 Cups ❤️
You don't need to read this or even reply. This is just a rant...
I thought everything was okay. I thought my *life* was okay. Now...all of the trust within me has just poofed. The people I was closest with irl...they don't care. They don't care that every time they ignore me, I feel disgusting inside. They don't care that I avoid looking at the mirror. They don't even *notice*. It just feels like only a few people care in this world, but the people who are closest to me...the people I have to face every day of my life...they don't care. It's so great to have some people who believe in me, but if my own parents don't want to face my depression...I don't know what to do. I feel like I'm just pushing people away, getting more and more irritated each day. I didn't get any sleep last night...I was just going through the events in the blur of my brain. It's exhausting...I'm tired of myself, for not even being able to cope with the slightest bit of criticism. I take everything personally, and I hate that...I wish I was the kind of person who would take things with a grain of salt. I wish things were different, and that I was a better person. I wish I wasn't this awkward kid who everyone just ignored and used as a doormat. I wish I wasn't selfish and taking advantage of the supposed "luxuries" that I have. Every time I make a stupid mistake, I start crying. I'm too emotional for anyone to deal with me. People just give up on me, even my own parents...the people who are supposed to care. They pretend to care, but they don't see me. They just see me as a poster child, and not a true soul. They were the ones who taught me not to cry, to hold in my emotions until I break. I'm sick of this...I can't manage even the simplest of emotions. When I'm happy, I become too hyper and end up getting a headache. Then, when I get depressed, I push everyone away and don't look for support. It's as if...I'm like an imposter in my own skin. I don't even know who I am or what I am anymore. My dysphoria is even worse than usual, and my anxiety is through the roof. I hate my body...I hate my environment...I wish I was a different person. People just betray me, and I feel so numb and have absolutely no emotions half the time. My apathy is what pushes people away. I even feel bad about sharing all of this, because all of you will be reading this...and you all probably look at me differently now. I used to be so level-headed when I was younger, but because of this stupid pandemic, everything changed for the worst. I'll never be the same...and now, I just feel like a true burden
...but I will keep wandering into this forest until I find what I'm looking for...purpose, trust, love...
Hello amazing people ❤️ Spruce made a decision to take a little break from cups until Monday because they need to focus on grounding themself from what has been happening irl lately. It is a difficult decision, but Spruce knows it is the right one. Spruce will be thinking of all their friends on here because Spruce loves them very much ❤️ Spruce will be on break starting now, and they hope to see everyone on Monday. Take care, everyone! 👋 ❤️

Today was a reallyyyyy good day for me, I would say. I don’t usually have good days like this, so I took advantage and tried to make it a productive one. I woke up early and caught up on 7 Cups stuff before breakfast, just so I didn’t have to worry about it later. For the rest of the day, it was really eating, exercising, doing schoolwork, cupsing, and repeat. 😀 But it was fun, and the gcs were super interesting. 😛😛😛 I know there were certain individuals who were lurking when the craziness occurred (*cough cough* Anga 😀 [ @Angelx28 ], don’t think I didn’t sense you lurking). I really needed something to uplift my mood, and catching up with my friends here reallyyyy did. ❤️❤️❤️
Welp, I think I should also talk about what happened this past weekend, but…maybe I shouldn’t 😀 - I had such a good day today, and I’m not even really thinking about it. I might talk about it sooner rather than later, but not quite yet. I know in my subconscious, I’m still trying to process it. Buttttt, let’s not get out of this good mindset, right? 😊 ❤️
I’ll leave it here for tonight, because it’s getting a bit late. Talk to you all tomorrow! Goodnightttt 🤗 ❤️
^ Trying to hold on to hope that today will be a good day, despite the sky being cloudy and dark :') ❤️
