Hi, I'm Lori. I've been having a really hard time ffor the past year. I had just started a job when COVID hit. The lockdown has left me feeling isolated and disconncted from my colleagues. It's hard to seek help because it's hard to geet to a therapist and the lack of privacy at home makes virtual sessions difficult, so I figured I'd give this a try.
@Loriannpen Hi Lori, and welcome to 7 Cups! I am sorry to hear that you have been having a rough time recently. It can be so challenging to connect to coworkers and loved ones in this time of physical distancing. I hope that you have found it helpful to speak with other listeners on the site! Just opening up and speaking with someone (even an anonymous internet person ;) ) is a great step and can be so helpful! Wishing you the best of luck on your journey.
Hi, I'm Lizzie and I joined to get support for an ed. It's really hard for me to tell anyone close to me about it but I'm hoping to have a community to recover with. Tbh still really nervous about being here
@beanhead9
It's wonderful to have you here. I hope you feel safe and comfortable. 😊

I'm sorry you're going through a rough time. Welcome to the forum.
Hello! I'm a newbie and just popped in to say hi
@carefreeHoney9005 Welcome to 7 cups! I hope you have a great experience here. I'm sure you'll find many listening ears to help you.
Hello all! Hope everyone is doing well!
@Dragonflyskye
Thanks for asking. I hope you are doing well.:-)
Hi everyone! I just joined and have had a few chats, but honestly, they have not gone super well. Has anyone had any similar experiences or have any advice?
@enlightenedBlueberry2190
Hi! I've been here for about a month now, and I will admit that it's a bit tricky to find the right listeners (for one-on-one) or the right group (for group chats). However, I'm happy to say that I've found a time slot where I fit in with most of the users for the group chat; most familiar faces come in around the same time. I would suggest going in at different times of day for now until you find a section where you feel comfiest, and then keep showing up at that time to see if that consists of the usual crowd. Best of luck to you!
@enlightenedBlueberry2190
hey englightened welcome 🙏🏻 to 7cups. Finding the right listener can be a little difficult. Before becoming a listener i was a member myself and after some chats okay not some many 😅 chats I finally found THE LISTENER. Still talk to that listener sometimes. So just be patient i say.. 😃
@Hope Recovering from a breakup.
@aomori
Welcome to 7 cups !!
@Hope ive been having all the symptoms of anxiety attacks, but i cant really seek professional help to diagnose me with anything, so idk what to do
@ThatOneWarmBlanket
why can't you seek help? There are always lots of resources and free clinics. There are online depression/anxiety drs that prescribe. Are you trying to get help as in therapy or mainly medication?
Hello everyone! A newbie here. I am so glad to see the supporting environment here. Happy Holidays :)

Hi everyone I'm taz I have been struggling with sever depression and anxiety since the age of 12, I'm not 22 and the fears and sadness comes and goes but I'm particularly struggling with the fact that my daughter was adopted three years ago. I understand that this is not the same loss that others have experienced but I have had years of loneliness without her... I feel like my heart and soul has been torn away from me and I'm just struggling to cope day to day without her. If anyone has experienced the same kind of thing feel free to message me but I am a bit slow at the moment as I have only just started. Wishing anyone who reads the best :)
