Can anyone help me?????

Hello Lostlove,
I am sorry to hear that you have had so many challenges in life. Being here and reaching out for help, support, and bettering yourself is extremely brave and admirable. I am glad to hear that you have trust in 7cups. I hope you are able to grow stronger on your path to a better life! You certainly deserve it. You have survived and it is your time to thrive as well!

Hey Lostlove,

It really sounds like life has fairly piled things on you and its not at all surprising that this has left you feeling really down at times and finding it hard to trust others.

Which makes it even more of an accomplishment now that you are reaching out for support and putting your trust in 7cups to try and recieve help through this tough time.

My words are few at the moment unfortunately but I just wanted to let you know that I can relate to being a survivor of many things and that awful dark cloud that can seem endless and cast such a long shadow. I believe that peoples power to overcome lies withing them and their belief that they can do it. Believing in yourself in my book means your 90% there but its building up that belief that can be the hardest part.

I'm wishing you the best on your journey and I'm hoping you find the support you seek here. Just letting you know too that listeners can't PM you, not can members pm you. The way it works is that you can PM a Listener. Hopefully one here will offer to list on your post but also you can to the browse listeners link too and hopefully find one who you feel comfortable with. My advice is to look at the star rating and reviews but also to try and pick on which is showing up as onlne you can tell if they are online, if it says chat now under their profile pic. https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/

Best of luck x

Thank you to each one of you who replied. After crying like crazy I started to really think. My second step in all this darkness is not to allow the negativity to consume me. I am starting to fight back but not in the way it sounds. I'm fighting back my own mind. When someone tries to bring me down and I start feeling hopeless I stop and think about it. The words they say are not who I am. My past does not define the woman I am. I AM A SURVIVOR ! I have lived threw this horrible nightmare and I will rise . I can't let one person keep controlling my thoughts. They are my thoughts not his. I have control of my brain . He can't control my thoughts or my feelings anymore. It took a real long hard cry and a mediating tape on found on here to make me stop and think about it. I stopped in the middle of that tape and thought " oh my goodness ! I control my breathing not him. I control my feelings not him . I control my life NOT HIM". I know my road is going to be very long but I'm determined to get my life back. To get my smile back and most of all to get my tranquility back. I will still need tons of positive input because 12 yrs of negativity is hard to shake off over night but I know it can be done.

Thank you 7 cup Listeners !!!!!
