Why Am I Here?
Hello,
I came across this site recently. Not sure why I but started looking into online chatting sites.
I'm going through something at the moment and not really sure what that something is; but I'm here which means there's something I can learn from someone, anyone and hopefully they can from me as well.
I don't really know exactly where I fit in, since I'm unable to "categorize" myself.
I'm not really looking for a "listener" or to be a real "listener". Not really sure I'm ready to put anymore weight of others on my shoulders since it's all I do in real life.
Is there anyone else on here, just floating around? Wanting to just talk about anything and everything? Just to be able to share anything that your heart desires without the immediate need of "help" seeing that we may not know what help we need or whether we need help at all but rather just to be able to speak freely, share your truths within, find out who we actually are as people/who we'd like to be. To just be?
Am I alone in feeling this way? Anyone out there?
Heya! Just wanted to drop in and welcome you to the site. It's alright to not know exactly what you need help with or to even focus on trying to figure out what you need help with and how to get it.
Take your time to explore our community and yourself and what you relate to the most! There are lots of group support chatrooms on 7cups that you can access here and socialise with other members or talk about how you're feeling too!

Hello--I can relate to what you're describing with just wanting to be able to share lots of stuff and sift through thoughts in an open-ended way--without necessarily defining yourself as a person in need of help or committing to any specific direction/destination for those thoughts. I've subscribed to this thread if you decide to share thoughts in this space.
With every day that passes, and not knowing why I don't feel okay.. right now especially is just making me feel 100 times worse.
There seems to be just way too many things constantly going on in my head and it just won't stop.
It's all just becoming scrambled in there. I think I've carried the weight of the world for far too long. I've taken on more than I thought I could.
And now..
Now I think I'm slowly caving in....

I'm sorry things are so scrambled. Is that related to empathy--like the things going on in your head are stuff from the outside world that you've absorbed and taken on, and it's really hard to sift through so many feelings, both yours and other people's?
So.. update. I've recently actually come to a realization of what's been bringing me down. It was a light bulb moment.
Being empathic is a good quality and all, but since I've always been empathetic to a point where it became detrimental to myself, I kinda took on way to much for one person to handle. Resulted in me living on the surface for a few years now. Just going through the motion. Never having me time, and most importantly putting everyone else's feelings above my own; and let's say if chose my own thing, while doing what I wanted, I'd be doing it while constantly feeling bad.
So.. now I'm going through the process of dealing with this realization and how I'll actually work on my self care. It's definitely not easy because I have a lot of difficult decisions to make, difficult feelings to overcome etc in order to actually do me.
