Hello!
Hai,
My name is Vanessa!
I plan on using 7 cups frequently. I need to find ways to help myself without having to take medicine or pay for therapy which isnt helpful in the moment. If you have any ideas i can try im open to trying new things to manage depression and high stress levels/mental breakdowns. I am making a self care bag with art supplies like coloring pages, and figets and a sketchbook. Plus a few nessesities.
I will be moving out soon, I am trying to. Money is a big problem. Any suggestions for that let me know!

Morning Vanessa!
Firstly welcome to 7Cups, I'm super glad you found our community. I really hope you find the support and validation you deserve here. A self care bag sounds like a great idea, are you a crafty person? Personally I find colouring super relaxing and a good distraction from my thoughts. It is great to see you thinking of way to help yourself in the moment.
How are things for you currently? If you wanted to talk more about your problem, we would be more than happy to support you with it. Remember you don't need to struggle alone. My PMs are always open as well as many other listener which can be found here: https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/
Take care and looking forward to seeing you around

Hi Vanessa! I am also managing my mental health without medication now and for me it feels soooo much better, not to mention the money saved. As for your self-care toolkit, I cannot speak highly enough of a regular exercise routine. Any kind of mindful movement is super helpful, but I'm really partial to yoga for the spiritual aspect and breathwork. Good luck to you! ❤️
