Hello, my name is Amy, 39, Female. Happy to have a place to connect. Is there a way to friend request people on here? Thanks!
@amykins22 Request listener?
If so you can go through the listener catalogues and shoot the ones you like a message :)
@Hope Hello Hope. I joined 7 cups to help manage social anxiety and loneliness. I am also new and am still completing the steps. I do hope that I can eventually become a great listener for others going through a similar issue.
@fantasticHeart2548 I have faith in you! Really as long as you are understanding and empathetic you help a lot.
@Hope I joined 7 cups because I have struggled with mental health and still do. But also because I need 20 volunteer hours for a social welfare class.
@blackUnicorn1607 I hope this helps your mental health too as you help others but don't forget to make some time to attend to yours as well :) And good luck with getting your hours in!
Hello,
the name's Leon. I'm here to find people who are like me. I'm from Germany and I struggle with Depression, maybe ADHD and I'm a nonbinary trans person.
Nice to meet you all.
@LeonArt3mis
@LeonArt3mis nice to meet you. I just joined today. I have depression, anxiety, (PPD/PPA) and PTSD.
Hi all, my name is Cari. I joined for support as I am losing health insurance end of the month and my therapist suggested this site. I have been diagnosed with anxiety, depression and PTSD. I also have ADHD. My son was born at 28 weeks gestation and I've had to go back on meds, etc. I've always struggled with depression and anxiety so I'm grateful I started seeing someone when I found out i was pregnant again. I had PPD with my daughter and after my ectopic pregnancy, so I knew there was a chance. Just didn't think it would be from him being born premature. He spent 8 months in the hospital and I would often sleep there with him.
I hope 7 cups can help connect me with others who can help me cope. Looking forward to talking to others,
@Caremate255
Hello Cari, I'm sorry to hear that you're going through such a difficult situation. I was born premature so my family understands the struggle you're going through, it's scary and isolating when you have a baby who you want to care for so badly that's too fragile for you to touch. It's also sad to hear that you'll be losing a therapist, but I hope that the community here on 7cups can be a source of comfort for you. We'll always be here to listen and be with you.
Hey everyone, Im Omar and im 13 years old. I know thats young but lately my parents have been calling me really rude things like a waste of money and useless and lazy etc. . Ive been cyber bullied about 3 times and I recently had my only friend leave me. I cant make friends in the real world because of how I look and how big of an introvert I became. Ive been so insecure of how I look and I just want someone to listen to me and I really want to live up to everyones expectations of me but I just cant no matter how hard I try.
@Omarwastaken hi Omar. I'm so sorry you had to go through this. I hope 7 cups can help you out. We are here for you whether as a one-on-one listener or in the support rooms. Take care. Sending loads of love.
@Omarwastaken
Hello, and welcome to 7cups! Just by being here you've shown that you're contentious of your mental health, even just one step can lead to more and more positive habits and thoughts. I'm sure that you will find some friendly, positive support here. You got this!
I joined to help more people than just those physically around me. I'm glad there's a platform where people can easily reach out to others, thank you for having me!
