Hello my dears!
Hmm, I am tagging all of you here with a purpose, and that purpose is to get updates from you guys on weekly basis. My classes are going to start tomorrow, and I won't be able to come to 7cupsoftea so much, so this forum thread will be a medium for me to use~ You are tagged here, because you guys have really touched my life~ Really! And, so many other guys fall in this category, I am sorry that I could not tag you all, but if you see this just hop in here, okay? Love you. I am really grateful that I came to know you guys, you all are really special to me. *ghost hugs*
Okay, I want to start this thread with a question. *What are the changes that you want to see in yourself/your life in near future[in some months, probably a year at most]*.
You don't have to answer it right away or ever if you don't want to, just a question to think about! But, I would love to read your responses on this! <3 But, no pressure!
Okay, I will try to answer that question myself.
Hmm, my new term kicks start tomorrow, and like just another regular term , it will last for 6 months. During this semester, I want to become the kind of student I used to be. I want to work on my passion/interests, I want to remain fully focused with my studies during the whole term, I want to live one day at a time. That's it! :)
There have been some positive happenings in my life. I have started to see a therapist and had been on some helpful meds which is supposed to work against depression and anxiety[these are the problems I suffer problem at times], I got myself admitted to a meditation training center which starts in this month, it's a 4 day workshop[I am really looking forward to this], I am starting my guitar lessons from the next week. I hope I can remain emotionally stable with/without helps/support. Hmm, I hope to use this thread on weekly basis to post my statuses, I really wish to hear from you all as well! <3 I will , surely, nag you all to share your updates[your life happenings or anything you'd like to share, no pressure though, but I'd really love to know you guys more closely! <3] !
Okay, if you don't know me or any of these guys but you happened to bumped into this page, WELCOME!! Everyone is welcomed here, we could be friends, and you could participate in the chatters if you want to, I am encouraging you to do so! <3
Okay for those who don't know me, bit about myself,
I am currently just a student o_o I study computer science and engineering in an engineering university. I like playing the guitar, playing strategy games, reading novels[sci fi, fantasy , psychological thriller, mystery etc], watching movies[ mostly sci fi, psychological thriller], swimming, walking, yes you guessed it right, I am just another human being~~. I like to ponder about existential questions, mmm, like where we came from, what's our purpose...these kind of questions.. I am deeply interested in psychology , how human mind works, how cognitive functions drive us, how limbic system determines some of our behaviors etc. I am also interested in artificial intelligence. I love physics[Love reading about quantum physics stuff, I really want to know concepts of Quantum physics deeply] ,combinatorial discrete mathematics andgeometry. Hmm, many things from Harry Potter havedeep impression on many of the ideologies that I hold, you can safely call me a potterhead :D My favorite movie is matrix. I really love the idea of matrix and inception. Okay, that's a lot about me for today.
I wanted to write a lot more, but I am going to stop here. Gonna post again on 21th February, I wish for the best for all of you! <33333333333333333333 I really look forward to read from you all! <3
[P.S: I had a really long post, I think that'd more emotions in it, but it got lost in some misfortunate incidents, this is an attempt to recreate that message.]

I'm really scared that I might do the gastric bypass surgery on Thursday and it's really scaring me bcuz u know how negative thoughts can run heavily in someone mind. I'm afraid I might die and if i lived I'm scared of the pain after the surgery. Every family member, friend or relative is telling me that I have to do it and it is the only solution. I really donnow what to add more. Will right to u guys later if i remained on earth :)
I'm really glad to see your text again! <3
All the best for the surgery, message us the updates!

P.S: Hope you see you online, it's hard to catch you nowadays ^-^
Btw, sistaaaaa keep the updates coming , yo!
Friggin. That's beautiful. Sorry I kinda glazed over the other posts.
Hey guys, it always makes me so happy to hear updates on your life so I know how you all are doing.
My update is far from spectacular.
I started college again last Thursday and it hasn't been going to well for me. My anxiety and depression are at an all time high. Everything just kinda feels worthless to me right now, but I am trying to take steps to get better.
I've met people from church who are doing their best to help me though my depression and trying to help me get better so I hope soon I can go down the road to recovery.
It just seems to me whenever I get better, I start getting bad again. I'm not going to lose hope though, because someday... something good has to come out of all of this. At least, I hope so.
Please just keep me in your thoughts.
-Manda
First of all, lots of love for Manda the sweetest and cutest Panda in the world.
Secondly, I'm sorry to hear that depression and anxiety is hitting you, *huge bear hug* but I'm glad that you are taking steps for betterment, I hope that you will hold strong. I love that you are so optimistic and hopeful that good times will come, I also believe that good times will come for you.
I'm really happy to hear that you're getting help from the church people. I can feel that sharing with people who go through the same can benefit a great deal.
I can understand the fear of relapsing, I feel it at times as well, I try to remember Dumbledore's quote in those times,
"Happiness can be found even in the darkest times if one only remembers to turn on the light."
And, I believe that light is in everyone.
I remember you from time to time, you will always remain in my memory.Keep us updated.
Lots of love, best wishes.

[I had to rewrite this post three times cause I mistakenly pressed backspace and everything was gone D:, I hope 7cupsoftea does something to prevent this]
@consideratePenny4784
Those pandas are so cute! Are they slippers?
You all are so very cute. I was trying to find a thread to complain about the new message notifications yet here I am lurking in yet another thread for future feels. Whatever. I'm subscribing. <3
@imaginativeDrum i'm glad you are enjoying 
please feel free to share with us ...
i miss you all and i love you all and i'm glad to hear all your updates and i'm trying to push my self and hope i will feel better soon and then i will share more 
Thank you. Trust me I will ;)
Now that I been tagged in too officially, guess it's time to try as well. Not uncomfortable sharing, aha not at all - Just dunno myself or where to start. I bore myself with just me.
Question - How many questions are there? I see just the one in the top post but everybody has entire sections - all the same, adding to the confusion. x)
OP's question: Wanted changes in my life or how in..
Myself: I want to earn and tote the badge of a hard worker
My life: and to truly keep and deserve the relationships I have or will make
- In a year: To be a somewhat qualified programmer, job and all. To treat family to bigger things.
- In a month: To not fail. To still love my major
- In a week: Reconnect to old and new people alike. To be calmer or more prone to calm.
- In a day: Be better or further along than yesterday
- In an hour: Dunno, finish off another bulk of this assignment? :)
Yes, I went backwards, becoming more vague as I went. Thinking about what ifs are depressing. So first was intentional, second not so much. I do believe we are all the same really, in our desires towards life. Something all very simple, very pure. Happiness, to be content. Better. Eg: myself
- mandapanda - it's all I can think of above (okay, probably more than enough for this thread) but sure there's more
- determinedwater - not have negativity running on overdrive
- crimsonbike - getting manageable, workable levels of stage fright
Positive things recently:
- Getting through current assignment easier than thought
- Finding a new friend who all but fell for me on 7c
- Keeping certain friends on 7c
- How a listenee turned into a listener for a few paragraphs - I'm sorry, I'm unprofessional. And sadly proud of it too. Sigh.
- The fast amend update on 7c for a certain issue
- Trying and laughing at, the GL system again after so long
- 7c in general - the good sort of procrastination
- Reconnecting with old, disconnected friend
- Making all my deadlines - some of them early
- The soon to be meetup of an old gang with a surprise in store by yours truly - hopefully
- The past week of less work, more stress - the workless, brainless kind
- The coming week of unions, hangouts and oh everything
- Email, skype, text, contact methods
- Music
- Sister - okay, this one is getting obligatory at this point
- People, empathy, humanity
- Rants, tangents, phone credit
- Sleep
- Salt water
I'm sorry only that I haven't added this post in. Though I think "meeting you guys" might work itself in there soon enough somewhere ;) I may come off a little cold or awkward since I don't actually know you guys that well and am just dunno, dangling around in this praise party. Not that I don't understand the almost ridiculous levels of you go, I go, wheee - Praise and making good feels and receiving in turn is addicting and I get the same way without meaning to when comfortable with someone too. Lols. Notice I said just the one. Which is I guess, the one (direct) sort of tidbit to share about myself. Awkward with people as heck. Brain off when one more than one person to latch onto. For the now - frozen fingers. TTYL lovelies :)
Ah I posted it D: XD
@imaginativeDrum Welcome to this thread!
Great post! I'm glad that you joined us, feel free to post updates regularly! It's good to getting to know you a bit. :)
A love everyone on this thread, @takashiwd(Taka), @politeCup86(Cupsan), @mandapanda96(Manda), @determinedWater55(Mizusan), we came across each other a long time ago through the group support chats. All of them have beautiful souls. You can get to know them more if you catch them online.
I liked your post, it was fun to read. :)
Welcome aboard!
-CrimsonBike
I'll tag you in the posts with questions. :)
@imaginativeDrum what a post! thanks a lot dear for sharing, a lot of positive things going on, i'm happy for you 
you have a unique way of writing and it's not awkward at all, we love every body here
Lol, unique. I'm sure that's true for all actually.
It's been a while, busy weeks full of procrastinating. And you know when p-drowning is applying, so too is work or its equivalent in bulk. How has been everyone? I guess I'll start off with some acquainting.
- How did you guys discover this site?
- What's a quote you found recently that spoke to you? Lyric is okay too but just one and what it means or meant to you particularly- I know how it feels to be a words enthusiastic! ;)
- What is your greatest burden currently, ina single word if iffy with sharing (Eg. Family, Facebook, Friend, Focus, etc). Anybody familiar with the concept of spoons? Add in your rating using that if needed.
- And What's a past trait that you self molded into yourself? If that makes sense.
Woops, awkward question asker means boolean structures mostly. Feel free to elaborate! All the best everyone! Let's all hold on a bit more and to every of us, a better grip, a lighter mind. Love - Drum
Hey guys. So I guess I can update you on my life again. I have a lot going on both good and bad.
I recently got kicked off my college's campus for having a cat in my dorm. I can still attend classes there but I'm not allowed living on campus. I tried explaining to my school that I had the cat because I was feeling suicidal and it made sense for me to get a cat instead of hurting myself but they told me it doesn't matter. So now I'm living with a friend from church. I just moved in last night, but I think it will be good for me. Maybe I can finally start to heal here and just be open about my emotions/ the pain that I'm feeling. I'm hoping it all works out and I'm just blessed I have somewhere to stay for now.
I'm also trying to transfer into a new college that's in the same town I'm currently in, so wish me luck. It's something that I really want and I think it could greatly benefit me and help me heal. It's a Christian University so I'll be able to be around healthy people and away from the party life since drinking is something that I've become involved with. I'll also hopefully be able to make friends, since it's a larger University than mine. Almost like 30,000 students larger! so that's a huge difference! I'm just struggling in the school i'm at now and I'm so unhappy. There's not much that my school offers.
I also found a really wonderful counselor. It may only be for 10 weeks, but I having a feeling she's going to make a huge impact on my life. I like it because it's not so formal and I could literally tell that she cares for me. When I told her something that happened during my childhood, I could see tears in her eyes and she just seems so sincere. She also was a huge help in finding me a place to stay after everything that happened this week and texts me periodically throughout the week to make sure I'm okay. I know it isn't formal counseling, but I've always hated formal counseling and this is something I've always needed. I'm so ready to get better so I'm talking about things I never have before.
That's pretty much all that's happening right now. I'll continue to keep you guys updated.
I love you all so so so much and think about you often. I hope things are going well for you.
@mandapanda96
Thanks for sharing Manda.
I wish you all the best! I'm glad to hear that you've got a great counselor.
Good luck, I hope you get admission to that new university and make a lot of good friends!
P.S: I've been late to catch up with this, sorry.
