Hi! I'm here because of some family issues... I want to face them and not let my current and past situations and experiences embitter myself so that I won't be anything like my parents in the future (specifically the bad parts of their attitude). My parents also don't believe in mental illnesses so I'm turning to the next best thing I have to be able to cope with everything...

Ahh I'm sorry to hear that your parents don't believe in mental health. But know that you have joined a very warm and caring community. I hope you have a great experience and get the support you need!
Take care
Hi I'm new to 7 cups. I'm here for depression. I have Bi-polar depression, anxiety, panic attacks, PTSD, and insomnia. I have been very depressed for several days now. I see my Pdoc soon and I'm hoping he will increase my meds. I have been battling this stuff since I was 13 years old and I'm old now. I have tried so many meications and I'm getting tired of struggling all the time. Not to worry though, I wil not give into it. Hoping to meet some new friends on here.
I'm here because I was forced to euthanize my best friend yesterday. He died in my arms at the vet an it was so horrible I can't get it out of my head. He had a bleeding cancer tumor in his nasal passage. He was pouring blood from his nose and I couldn't help him. He was older and had other issues as well. He saved my life and I literally signed his away on paper. The vet said it was best for him but I can't even begin to think about what to do with myself anymore. My living situation sucks and my mom has my other dog until I get a place. I'm a recovering heroin addict and things have been rough climbing out of that mess. I can't even finish this I can't think anymore and I'm sick of crying. I don't know how this stuff works on this app but I just want help to know what to do. I'm scared and so depressed I don't know what to call it.
@LittleMoonBear
It's called fear 😨. I fully understand IT... My best friend (chihuahua) died almost 3 years ago and I still cannot get through the day without crying. You just need to remember all the happiness you had with your 'baby' .it's not easy but I'm sure you can make it through this ,🙏

@ hope I joined because for the past few years I've been struggling with feeling depressed and feel like I can't really talk to anyone without them judging me 😒
Hi! I joined 7 Cups a few days ago and I'm still trying to figure out how it works. One of the reasons I joined is because I have a lot of friends who have mentle health issues and I am their go to person for support (they have therapists too don't worry). I'm always going to be there for my friends, but seeing my friends suffer and me feeling helpless because I don't really know what to do is starting to effect my mental health too. I was wondering how I can balance caring for myself and supporting my friends. Also if anyone has tips for how to best support friends with anxiety, depression, and self-harm urges that would be great too. Thanks :)
