Hello,

I'm not sure what, or how much to say. One of the most difficult things about getting help is asking for it. I think the process of making ourselves vulnerable and exposing ourselves like that is naturally difficult, but even more so when we have the conditions that bring us to a place like 7cups. Conditions that ironically, make this very necessary to do. I did a lot of lurking before I wrote this, but that isn't going to bring relief is it? So hi everyone. I struggle a lot everyday and really need someone to talk to. Loneliness and isolation are so wounding and painful. The anxiety bats for the side that isn't looking out for my good. I'm very new to the site and am not sure how everything works, how to reach out, how to connect with the right people, etc. So here is me reaching out. The Universe always listens, and we are all agents of It. To reach out to It, is to reach out to all of you.

Founder January 4th, 2021

Um, greetings! My name is Founder, and I'm a new member to this website! I don't really know what to say here honestly, I ended up putting the gist of my intro in the bio bit of my account, but uh,, yes!
I'm a little more anxious to actually try talking to someone here than I thought I'd be, so now I'm just sitting around dancing around the possibility of connecting with someone else; it's not that I don't want to- in fact, I do -, I'm just worried about it hgfhg,, here's hoping I'll actually try starting a conversation soon-!

@Alexgaynes

Aaa hello there, sorry for never responding; I left the site for a few days since I wasn't really feeling it, but I'm back now! Sadly I don't know how to message people if that's something you can do in the first place, but it's exciting to know someone else likes DR here as well,,! I'm not sure if we could really chat about something like that here thanks to its themes though, which kinda sucks :')

Cakiep January 5th, 2021

Hihihi!! You can call me Cakie or Lili. I've been dealing with OCD and because I can't get support irl, I thought an online support group would be the best option. I've had a couple really nice and open-minded listeners whom I really appreciative to. I hope using this site will help me learn that my illness doesn't define me through the connections I make here!

Hey! I was diagnosed with high functioning depression 4 years ago, but I never actually sought help because I didn't feel like I needed it. There are some days when I struggle a lot with feelings of emptiness, lack of motivation, etc. It makes it difficult to go through the day feeling like that.

Hi I am new here. A friend just recommended this app today. Don't know how I feel about this. I know I need to come out of the box I placed myself in but it feels safe without disappointments of others. Just alone with the disappointment in myself. I am hoping to find away to deal with what I am facing once and for all. Thanks for having me🙏🏾

Hi I am new here. Don't know how to feel about this. It's weird being the one who needs help, instead of always being the one who gives help. I realized with this pandemic I only had persons around me that valued what I could give them and didn't value me. I have cut myself off from almost everything and everyone and I stay inside at all times. I hardly ever leave my room. It's like I have created a safe space at home and prefer to be here than around people. It's hard sometimes but just knowing no one can hurt me or disappoint me makes me feel safe. I am still dealing with grief of my mother passing. I am hoping I can get past this all and finally feel free and be me again. Just writing this alone feels soo hard😢
