Need a Hug? FREE HUGS!!!
Nothing is really bothering a the moment but I just woke up and I want a nice hug
I need a hug. I am being strong for an old close friend of mine right now because it's her birthday, which is very hard for me because I have a history of being strong for people and then realizing they are abusing me, and it's very important to me to not let myself be treated abusively any more. She is going through a rough time and treating me in ways I don't like. I am going through a rough time too and she knows it. I don't see why she is treating me meanly and taking her struggle out on me and I am struggling with what to do. She is not acknowledging how she is treating me - and I haven't told her because I know she's going through a lot already. So it's this weird unspoken elephant in the room, at least to me. I don't like the way it feels. It is not my job as a friend to be her emotional garbage can. I don't like that she can treat me that way and not even care that it hurts me and call herself my friend, or think that I deserve to be treated that way or that it doesn't matter. I want to be there for her but she said she didn't want to talk about it. It hurts after all I've been there for her in the past. I understand she may need her space. I wish she would not treat me meanly though, it's unnecessary. I don't want people in my life who call themselves friends but are mean. I don't want people in my life who make me feel guilty for the fact that I've been going through a rough time for so long and that I've chronically gone through rough times. I need support, not people who make me feel badly about myself. But I type that and then I feel worried that I'm a drain on the world and that I do deserve to be put in my place. She has a history of being judgmental and critical. I'm feeling sad and angry and conflicted.
@singercrystalspirit you both are going through hard times and sometimes when people are hurt they like others to feel there pain and sometimes it's unintentional. Friendship is about openess and trust arrange a time to meet and be honest with your friend. Holding these feelings in won't make you feel any better she will appreciate the honesty
I just had a very heated argument with my boyfriend and I'm trying to stay level-headed. I feel like I need a hug to calm me down.
@Tai16Mar
I just deactivated from most of my social media. I guess I just snapped because most of my friends always come to me when they have problems and now I'm struggling to just even make myself happy. And I don't even know the reason why I'm sad. I just want to stay in bed all day. I need a hug 
I could do with a hug today. Had a really heavy session with my therapist today so have spent a lot of my day crying and emotionally drained.
@Chloe2 Well, guess what? You've got one!
*BEAR HUG!*
@Turquoisedreamer thank you so much, you really don't know how much this means to me right now! Hugs to you too!
I really need a hug right now. I feel like my girlfriend wants to call it quits, but she is sending me mixed signals, telling me she doesn't want to break up but she feels very emotionally distant and not her usual self. A guy held an umbrella for her in the rain on Tuesday and she has been obsessing over it since, saying it made her whole week and sending mixed signals since then (playing breakup radio on Pandora, talking about wanting to meet up with him and "thank him properly", etc). I have no idea what to do and it's driving me crazy and making me want to cry out of frustration. I don't want to lose her (we've been together for 6 months) but I know this isn't healthy relationship behavior either. I've never seen this side of her before.
I need a hug today- I'm diagnosed bipolar and today has been a bad one. I'm not sure what triggered my mood- but I have not been able to concentrate the way I want to. It's so hard because I feel like I've overcome so much and finally took my disorder under control- but it is still affecting me- and today it truly did.
@Movingforward37 hi there!! getting a diagnosis can be very overwhelming. I was also diagnosed with bipolar disorder about two years ago, in the spring of my senior year of highschool, and i know just how hard it can be! however, try to think of it as your first step towards recovery and know that now your demons have a name- and they'll be easier to face. I am brand-spakin-new to 7cups, so im still trying to figure this website out, but if you can send messages to each other (i think you can?) im always here and willing to answer questions or help motivate or anything. Bipolar disorder can be extremely difficult, but you are 100% capable of recovery!! I hope you take care of yourself today and every day and know that you are never, ever alone.

@Movingforward37 I won't say I understand how you feel, no one can truly know that unless they go through the same things, but I can and do, offer you an arms open wide, sincere and warm hug to stay with you until you feel a little stronger. Here if you ever need to talk
I've done bad in my university course and so i have to go see an academic advisor today, definately in need of a hug <3
@totoro7991 Sending you a huge HUG! Whatever happens, it's no reflection on you. You have the world stretched out in front of you, this is just a set back that you'll move on from. Learning is for all time, not just this moment. It will be ok x
@totoro7991 here you go! (Virtual hug)
@totoro7991 here you are, a big hug for you! :)
I was okay this morning. And now I'm feeling pretty awful. I'm sad and I don't know why. I also feel helpless because I've been trying to tackle my depression for months now and what I've done obviously must not be helping. So now I feel useless.
hello I am in need of a hug please, I keep canccelling plans to go out with my friends even though I know I am letting them down but I don't know how to tell them that I'm feeling low and that it stops me from seeing them
@mackie907 i would suggest you tell your wisest friends about it and also it keeps you away from public.. Isolating yourself. Ok? And if you need to talk i will do my upmost best to listen to you; big hug!
@mackie907 Sorry you're feeling low. I've done the same thing myself, countless times, so can appreciate what you're going through. Here if you need to talk and regardless, sending you a big, big safe hug, full of strength and full of warmth, one that stays if ever you're in need
