No meds, no diagnosis, just vibes
Hey, so I really like this app so far. I’ve received helpful insights already within a few hours of using it. I’m not used to this lol- so many other “therapy” apps will have you pay just to talk about your experience, and I find that so predatory and discouraging. I actually feel like I can achieve something with this and that’s great. Thanks 7 cups :)
I’ll probably be using this thread to express myself, kind of how I would a diary, except that the echo chamber can get pretty lonely and limiting. So, because I don’t know what exactly is going on and I have went through several self diagnosis periods where I’ll be so confident I have this disorder (I definitely have a disorder/s), but as it’s well known, so many are similar to one another, and every brain is different- I’ll be sure I have ADHD and then I watch Pearl and I’m like but wait maybe I’m relating a little too much to this story. Anyways, writing is healing for me and so is connecting with others so feel free to say whatever under this thread. I’ll be back every day to enter my thoughts
Here with you on the journey. All the best! 🌻
Ugh so much love for you 💕
Yesterday, I wrote everything that I wanted to release, anything negative that I felt like was impacting me, on a piece of paper, read it outloud, and burned the paper. I felt an instant calm. The same room I was in went from mundane to serene and I was living in the present moment. I started doing some yoga, I know my muscles appreciated that. It was a sweet, flow state that kind of felt like an ego death. A lot of what I put on the paper was connected to the ego, well I’m just happy to say I feel much better than yesterday (and more prepared) 💕

Thank you!! It’s so nice to meet you :)
Heyy so still loving the app- still miss Noni 😭 things are looking up!
I’m feeling at peace, still staying up late- anyone know how to get back on track with a night job and months of sleeping in until 1pm?
@neonBalloon2000
Wow, that is going to take a body adjustment. Being consistent at going to bed at a certain time and getting up at a set time will take a bit of time for your body to adjust but it is durable. Going to bed and rising up at a certain time means training the body.
I used to work 3rd shift and have not worked in years but I still keep night hours going strong. I did not take my own advice😂
like it’s so toxic but regular hours are just not available it seems 😭
Good morninggg (12:14pm)
Hi there! Ty for the positive message. I've been so focused on positivity lately and then on Christmas I just felt like my whole mood just crashed. your message is inspiring thank you. 💚✨
Holidays can be so hectic and stressful when they shouldn’t be! Supposed to be a day of joy but with family struggles, financial strains all that- it can be overwhelming I know. I’m happy to hear from you 💕
Oh I nearly missed a day! I spent time with my boyfriend, he’s so kind and blessed to have him honestly. Watching Squid Game 2 (capitalism booooo!) I’m content, I do kind things for others with ease and don’t stutter like I used to when speaking.
Does anyone know why green tea could make me nauseous? I throw up when I have it all the time
@neonBalloon2000
According to the internet...
- Drinking green tea on an empty stomach increases the acidity in the stomach, which can cause nausea.
- Tannin seeps into the brew when you brew your green tea for more than two minutes. The higher the level of tannin in your cup of tea, the more bitter it will taste. Consuming tannin, especially on an empty stomach, can make you nauseous.
- Tannins are compounds that are part of a larger group called polyphenols. Green tea is rich in polyphenols, which are responsible for the health benefits the beverage has to offer. Tannins are present in a number of foods and beverages that are plant-based and tea is one of them.
That is crazy

I know right!
I am such a dreamer for real. I don’t know if what I feel is normal, I know I’m not alone but I just feel like I was made for something- like I was drawn to create. And I know something about that seems narcissistic, but I’ve always just thrived in my own mind and in my life I know I’ve made great achievements. Compared to where I came from, I feel so strong and capable of just anything. All I want is to be happy, all the time. I’m hedonistic but not in a bad way necessarily. I feel like we should all seek pleasure and give ourselves up to it when the time arises instead of shying away because of shame.
it’s so funny I read an article about psychopathy and it said that typical traits are people who reject social norms and expectations and I wondered, damn
