New to the Relationship Stress Community? Introduce yourself here!! ❤️

Hi, I'm Meg,

I recently joined 7 cups to get therapy from a licensed providier. But now thought I should try the community groups out. I have been feeling, anxious, depressed, and worried almost every single day since last month. I'm worried about my boyfriend as I know he's an alcoholic. We are currently in a LDR and we've been struggling. He denys it, but I see it every time I get lied to, and told that my feelings are invalidated. I'm looking for people who are going through similar experiences. I'm feeling a little better today as I was able to set boundaries and not speak with him whenever I know he's been drinking. His alcohol addiciton has been the worse I've seen as he has tole me that he has the desire to drink almost everyday. I feel depressed and worried about him knowing that he is initiating destructive behavior on himself.

Thank you and hope you guys have a great week.

Hello, my name is Mikey. I joined this group cause I wanna learn how to socialize more.

Hi, I am Sanushni.

Basically I'm a very introvert person having a small set of friends around me. Actually never tried to actually communicate with others, but now want to do something that will help me to come out of my own shell. So here I'm giving my life a new phase.

Hey. I'm MithLycos.

I joined this group because I need help trying to keep my relationship alive while I'm trying to rebuild my life essentially from scratch. I just wanted some support.

I was manipulated for a large majority of my life by my family to the point where I stopped forming my own opinions because I believed that they didn't matter. Now that I'm trying to be an independant adult, I don't know where to start. I know I CAN be the person I want to be. I know that that person is the one my boyfriend fell in love with. But trying to stay on the right track without falling back into doing defensive meneuvers that have been branded into my head is hard. And it's not fair to him to wait for me to be the woman he fell in love with, without all the mental damage/baggage.

Hello my name is Lace. I am an ER Nurse that is struggling with all the death and devastation that I am seeing daily. I have anxiety, depression, insomnia and loneliness with no support. I work with a smile and compassion then come home curl up in a ball and cry like baby. I am at a loss for all the love I use to have for life. 😔

My name is Mihai and I am dependent on my wife, dependent on her to have sex with other men.
it's the greatest joy of my life, that's what I like the most, to know that she sleeps with other men,

Hi I'm gia and I've been going through a really rough breakup. Well it's complicated, I broke up with him back in June but it was supposed to be temporary because I recognized we had communication issues and felt we needed to grow and mature a bit more so that when we eventually got back together in the future it wouldn't be an issue anymore. But we mutually agreed and understood that the break up was temporary until we can improve upon our own issues and we agreed that we wouldn't be intimate with other people while we were working on ourselves. During the duration of this break up we remained very close friends and talked everyday still but then he moved away to college and we got into a fight because he told me he would let this girl be intimate with him and kept telling me about checking out other girls. I brought up eventually that I was hurt by this and that we said we wouldn't be intimate with others but he told me we're just friends and he can do what he wants. Long story short, we had a major fallout and haven't talked for a few months and I've been so hurt over not having him in my life because we didn't break up because we didn't love each other, we both still loved each other and that's why it hurt me to hear him talk about those girls to me. I'm sad because I never stopped loving him and never expected this to happen and it's hard to not talk to him like I used to. Sorry for the long paragraph.

My boyfriend (1 yr 8 mo) broke up with me. I loved him more than I loved any other boyfriend. He's the only guy I ever brought to meet my dad/family. Then one day he just ended. I was devastated and heartbroken and I don't know how to move on. It's been 4 months now and I think my friends are just tired of hearing about it. "You just have to learn to be happy being single." Single yes, but alone no. Being in this pandemic makes me feel all the more alone. I'm glad I have this community where I can vent my feelings.

Welcome!
