@Hope here for support and to share love
i've been visiting this site on/off everytime i felt like i was more down than usual, but this time i want to try using it more regularly. 4 years ago i went to therapy for a few months but wasn't satisfied with it bc i felt like i wasn't making any progress, so i quit. now i think i'm ready to give it a try again and see how it plays out
anyways i have a family history of anxiety and have also struggled with some form of ocd since i was about 7-8 years old, which is super young i know, but i didn't get a formal diagnosis for it until i was 15. i'd say the biggest problem for me these days is obsessive rumination over things that happened in the past and things that could happen in the future, no matter how trivial the problems might seem to others. the thoughts play like a broken record in my head. i drive myself crazy over this stuff to the point where i'm depressed and restless bc my mind just can't seem to shut off
i could go on but i'll stop there. point is i've always wished i could experience what life is like without excessive worrying even though i'm only 19
@yakumomo. Thanks for coming back and im glad your here. It is very difficult to live when your mind is always thinking of the past and future , you can't live in the peaceful NOW or PRESENT. That must fell very exhausting. Things will change ... it works if you work it. If you need an ear im here... https://www.7cups.com/111120005

Hi there! I'm new to 7 Cups. I'm so excited to start helpig but I'm also really nervous. Does anyone have any advice on how to handle your fisrt conversation?
@FriendOfAFriend1234 Jumping in and taking a chat is really the best way to go. I would recommend getting a mentor who can provide additional resources if you are nervous. The best way to connect with a mentor is by laptop or computer, choosing My Path, then Mentors. You can read their profiles and send a message to the one that you feel matches your style! I have a wonderful mentor who has been super helpful.
