Need a Hug? FREE HUGS!!!
I sometimes feel like I'm drowning under the weight of my own depression and anxiety. I feel like I'm not use to anyone, and that I deserve to be alone. And I hate it so much, because I have an amazing boyfriend, and friends, and family. I feel super ungrateful...and that just makes it worse...
@discreetTangerine5877
I get your feeling, it happened and happens to me too. Well, I think you deserve all the things and persons you have. Anyway why don't try to change to love yourself and the others, and feeling you deserve them.
I think you a warrior, so keep fighting!
Send you lots of hugs.
Sending hugs to all 7 Cuppers today!! 😘
And same here I need a big hug
@Motherofmany46 Bear hug for you.
@Totheskyandbeyond thank you I really needed that today
hmm... instead of hugs...
i was hoping for someone to listen and perhaps "side" with me...
(maybe im asking for too much)
or maybe i just need to "break" myself out of these stupid routines (as in take a break)
I need hugs. I lost my dear Dad recently and I am so alone 😣😣😣
@MissMoodles

Hugs for everyone 
Ya i need a hug.
I'm not sure whats wrong with me today.
I feel like crying at work.
For no clear reason.
I just had that pain sad feelings.
I feel silly.
How do i overcome this feelings...
@MelatiHati
Depression is like that - often for what seems like no reason the world turns grey and everyday you want to cry, and don't know why, and feel ridiculous because no one else seems to get it.
I get it. I understand. And I think you're super brave for reaching out even though you feel silly - it took me far too long to do the same. And you know what? You are important, your feelings are important, and...
You deserve the biggest hug ever (HUGS)!!!
Take care of yourself, and if you need some more help, reach out to a listener here on 7cups - they're there to help us get through the tough times and are eager to do so. I've received much help on bad days from the lovely people here.
@lonelylinguaphile do you think this is depression...? I really feel like.. super silly 😢 .. i want to shake this feeling off me... ive been like this on off since forever.. sometimes i feel so confident. I pitch in ideas to group.. i can laugh and it does come from my heart.. often i will retreat to some more secluded place because im afraid i will just burst out in tears and that will look silly because just second ago i was laughing and having fun.
@MelatiHati
Sorry I took so long to reply - saw your message and then closed the page accidently and couldn't figure out how to find it again (facepalm..)
I'm no professional but from personal experience I would say it sounds like depression to me. I have always been like that too; perfectly happy one minute and the next wanting to burst into tears and not knowing why. Sometimes these 'grey' days last for months - just went through my longest period of depression yet, which was almost five months long, and my most severe. I contacted a therapist here on 7cups (until I couldn't afford it anymore), and she confirmed my tentative self-diagnosis of depression.
I completely understand how hard these sudden shifts in mood can be, especially since I (and maybe you do this too) feel that people are confused and maybe a little disappointed when I become withdrawn and sad after being happy and active the day before. But remember - often these feelings are just projections of how you or I feel, not really what the other person thinks. I know your message was a while ago, but are you still going through a rough time? If so, I can recommend a book that my therapist recommended to me that has been very helpful if you like. I also use this app called Woebot, which you might think sounds weird when you read the description on the app store but I've found it to be very helpful for soothing negative emotions in the moment.
Hope this helps - take care!
In a dire need of a hug . Feeling so low . :(.
@calmsoulmeet
Warm hugs to you , relax and look after yourself your never alone :)
I've been on a gradual upswing from the worst bout of depression I've ever had, and I'm terrified to start doing things again because I'm afriad it might trigger the depression again. Tomorrow I'm going to do something scary with some people who I don't know very well - I already made the plans so I can't back out now, but its been such a long time since I've done anything like this. They say you've got to get back on the horse but the scariest moment is when you put your foot in the stirrup and wonder how hard you'll fall next time, and if next time you'll be able to get back up at all.
Long story short - I could use some hugs...
@lonelylinguaphile
Here is a big hug for you<3. Best of luck with your upcoming plans. I too have been through a bout of depression recently. I know how it feels to get back out there. But let yourself believe in yourself. You got this. 
@cyanOwl994
Thank you!! I needed to hear that :)
@lonelylinguaphile
Big hugs
@gigglePuppy25
Thank you
Oh man, @lonelylinguaphile, do I know how you feel! Every glimmer of brightness bears that asterisk that you cant take push it too far or it may escape you. Thats the best way I know how to describe it - its a scary and frustrating thought. But the fact that you describe yourself as on an upswing is so promising! Escaping that initial trap is the biggest hurdle - now you get to rebuild, and that is SO exciting. I believe in you and Im sending positive thought and light your way. 😊
@SunflowerSeed1233
Thank you so much!!! Sorry - just got this message now. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who feels this way, and your encouraging words are a big comfort right now. I did the scary thing, and it was... well, scary and awful, but I still did it. And now I'm about to do something even scarier, but this time I feel about 7% more confident about it, so that's an improvement!
Thanks for taking the time to encourage me - it means a lot!
