@Hope Hello, I joined to listen and help people, especially those who are struggling with stress or family issues. I also want to become a better active listener through practicing with people.

You surely will be a great listener
Hope to see you grow ❤

@Hope Hello everyone! I'm currently a nursing student in my mental health rotation, utilizing this platform to assist real-life individuals with real life problems by means of therapeutic communication. Today was my first day on the site and I have to say it was quite the experience. I've had people listen to me while I talk online and it's so weird to be on the opposite side helping others. I really do hope to make the most out of this experience not only for my class, but for the sake of helping others as well!
@CB2RNSWCULA Hey CB, that's good to hear, hope you have a great journey here and learn various things 😊
@CB2RNSWCULA
Thats great!
Hope you have a amazing journey
Hi. I'm Nix. I'm pretty new here. Been here about a week now. Not really sure what I'm hoping to get out of this, but I know that anything is better than the depression I've been falling into lately.
A little about me. I'm turning 35 in a couple weeks, I married the love of my life coming up on 9 years ago, though we have been together for 15 years. We have a 14 year old daughter, two 2 year old half bengal cats, a 6 month old Chihuahua puppy, and a beta fish. That is essentially what my life consists of.
I don't really have that many friends, and even fewer that are actually similar in age to me. The person I hang out with most besides my husband and daughter is our 63 year old neighbor.
I feel like I don't know how to connect with people, and I've found that once people learn about the things I have been through in my life, they tend to steer clear of me.
I don't have a great relationship with the vast majority of my pretty big family, and a limited relationship with my husband's family. The pandemic has really taken a toll on me, and I'm having to go back to work now but I am terrified because I don't really have much of an immune system. Not to mention my husband and daughter both having asthma. I don't feel mentally capable of getting a job, and I feel like I have no marketable skills or talents.
I guess that's enough for now.
Thanks if you took the time to read this.

@nixrobinson Hey Nix, I understand how it feels not being able to connect. Noone will steer clear of you here for what you have experienced. I hope you have a good time here. Do check out communities in case something interests you, and feel free to reach out to a listener whenever you want. Welcome to 7 Cups! 😊
The forums have been a big help to me. I started using the depression sites and now after being a member for a few years I often use the fun and relaxation sites. If however you feel as though you'd benefit from a more personal conversation the site has many good listeners, you may like to try taking that route. Good luck and I hope we speak again in the future.
@lazyKatz Glad you have been liking it here :)
