Leaving 7 cups
I am thinking about leaving this site as I think I am better off going through my issues by myself.
@BeeFree82 I don't know of too many instances where mental or emotional issues have been successfully tackled solo...but who knows, you might pull it off. Good luck.
well a lot of mental and emotional issues stem from bad self esteem and a lot of the times the best person who can help u the most with that is urself- plus u can help urself achieve mental wellness through changing ur bad habits or better coping mechanisms. Idk i just think you are the person who can help yourself the most if u so choose.
but on the other hand going to other people is good too if you’re looking for someone to talk to relate to or look for guidance so i see what u mean
@BeeFree82 If you are thinking about it, then I suppose it's very possible you are right.
This site does have features than can be unhelpful in various ways, and if your priority is dealing with your issues and moving on, then moving on from 7 Cups can sometimes be a step in the right direction.

@BeeFree82 I'm sorry you feel that way, but from experience i realize that's sometimes true. I agree with both sides of the coin that have been offered here so far.
I just hope your decision is the right one for you.
But might i make a suggestion please?
You did say "thinking about" and i applaud you for not making a rash decision. However, there IS another option available to you, which isn't quite as final or drastic as completely leaving the site:
Consider taking a hiatus of sorts. Take some time by yourself for a few days or even weeks, but don't delete your account here. Then, after working on your issues solo, at least you'll still have your account here to bounce some of your thoughts off of others. Not only could you possibly get another pair of eyes to show you a different perspective, or perhaps point out an effect, result, or solution you hadn't thought of, but i find just saying my thoughts out oud evokes clarity and the ability to see things much more realistically and rationally (although I'm an overthinker to the extreme, so that may be a contributing factor.)
Additionally, think of how rewarding it would be for you, and possibly life changing for someone else, if you were to share the techniques of some of your successes here!
I've been here almost two months and haven't found anyone I'm either comfortable with enough yet, or someone who can devote the time and energy to me that i think i need (I'm sure I'll be EXTREMELY high maintenance to someone at some point - most likely the unwitting poor soul i finally let myself go with, and completely trust, to where i finally let loose everything going on inside my head)
I'm also not here 24/7, and don't try to be. My life is too chaotic for that kind of focus. And it's not a requirement that I'm aware of. So just think, you could sit back and lurk, without ever having to say a word. And maybe you'll be blessed with a solution or two just by reading stuff in here! 🌹
In any event, whatever you decide, i wish you the best.

I am still here I just vent sometimes and I gain a better perspective of my life and situation. Thank you so much for your concern
@BeeFree82 It get’s tough on here for me. I get stressed and take a long or short break. Listen to you gut and instincts on this. I am hoping you have someone you can speak with.
@communicativeOcean7488
I do have some one to talk to both here and out side of this site thank you for your concern
I think with everything in life, it’s good to take breaks. Good luck!
I hope everything works out for you for the best. I have found it useful that when I'm going through difficult times that having a good, strong support system really helps me. My hope for you is that you feel better and tackle your problems head on. You know what is best for you and if you think it is taking a break from 7cups then so be it. Wishing you happiness. Take care!
@BeeFree82 Please take care if you leave, I don't want you to get hurt

I'm still here and thank you for your 💞💞💞 concern about my leaving and my well being.
@BeeFree82
Anytime <3
All the best!! 👍🙌
Of course we worry about each other here. The reason most of us are here because we know what suffering is and we can understand each other. All the best regardless what you decide.
I'm sorry to hear that you feel that way. 7Cups is a great support system, but if you don't feel that you are getting appropriate help there, I certainly recommend that you seek help elsewhere (maybe even something in person).
Of course, if you wish to reach out to talk, I'm here (among many others).
Please care care of yourself!
@JessieWListens I will most definitely take you up on that offer to talk every thing to you and me is what matters the most. Helping each other 💖🙂💖🙂.
I have been having issues with my mental health the past six months its been worse than ever. And talking to one of their listeners helped more than anything else I have tried. And I thought I had exhausted every other option. If you think that's what's best for you then this community will support you in that decision. But we will always be here if you need someone
