Welcome to 7 Cups, Grace! It's great to have you here as a listener, and I love the dedication that you display, even though you came so recently! ❤️
I am going through a tough phase - the kind where everything that can go wrong does all at once. I went through a lot of workplace stress for 4 years. I kept fighting it and kept taking the next set of steps until one day where I found it was too much and I can't practically keep on doing it forever. I am a high skilled foreign worker and I decided to leave my high paying job and everything I worked so hard for behind and return home on a short notice. I was devastated when I experienced toxicity on a daily basis at home. I felt cornered, crushed, helpless and breathless. I decided to come back again. I am now starting from scratch without my toxic family and almost no friends.
I am seeking encouragement, compassion, positivity, kindness, sense of belonging, to be part of a group, resources to help nurture myself so that I can start fighting that stress on a daily basis and achieve my challenging goals, and all things good.
I think connecting with people who've had similar experiences, trading stories, periodic check-ins and continuing conversations would help me the most.
@ts443 I wish you all the best and I beleive you can find job you are expecting soon with calm atmosphere. And feel free to message me or any other listener whenever you want.

Hi! I am sun! I just wanted to say welcome! Things are really hard to go through sometimes, but there is support here. Please do not hesitate to take advantage of the resources you find here. You rock!
@BeautifulSun298501
Thank you for your kind words ! I appreciate you taking time to drop me a note.
@ts443 I crossed the United States and back looking for work, connected with a friend much younger than I because she was being hurt, and when I tried to help her I was thrown out by my family and left to fend for myself by friends. We were homeless from June until the middle of August while I continued to look for work. I feel your pain on a different level and I would like to ask what you've done to connect with someone after your experience? The friend that I helped turned out to be bad news and now I am all alone working with no idea why. How are you coping and I would love to hear more of your story. If you don't mind.
@SacredMouse
I understand your pain, frustration, anger, struggle and disappointment. I can listen to you @Tirth443.

Hi
My name is Lisa and I am a new listener
@LisaPark77 hi lisa :)
@Hope Hi everyone. I am new here and excited to join the team. I have completed the listeners training and ready to listen.
Hi everyone. I’m hoping being here can help me discover the best way to go about a certain dilemma I’ve been having.
My boyfriend lives 5 hours from me, in a different state. We see each other about every other weekend. He is an amazing man, but unfortunately he suffers from moderate to severe alcoholism, anxiety, and mood disorders - anxiety being the only thing that’s even been remotely addressed by a bottle of pills that don’t do a darn thing for him. We are struggling to survive his erratic behaviors. I am really at a loss as to what to do sometimes and just need a good group or person to talk to when situations get unmanageable. Thank you!
