@Stressedout76 - Hey there, welcome to 7 Cups. :)
I'm sorry that you've gone through so much, I can definitely see how all of that would leave you feeling so stressed.
I hope things turn out better for you in the future.
Yes its been very rough but i was able to chat in the general support chat and was able to talk to a few amazing people, and i legit thought i was broken but i did have some smiles and a gew laughs they helped alot. I know i cant change what is now for memories will be cherished and i know i need to live in the now and take time for me and im trying i know i have a long rd ahead but if i stay here with this app i feel the ppl here will help me get back on my feet. Being lonely doesnt help how im feeling but im trying as i normally keep all this inside and im reaching out for help. So this is a big step for me. Ty for welcoming me. One day at a time i hope to be back on my two feet. ❤️
@Stressedout76 Welcome to 7cups.
Welcome to the family.
I am so glad that our group support rooms, are help you a bit.
I hope you will continue to go to the support rooms, as much as you can.
The support rooms, can be very helpful.
Hey @Stressedout76. Firstly, welcome to 7cups. You will find an amazing group of people here - and me (sorry self-deprecating humour is my crutch) who will be willing to listen and help a little. Secondly, I can relate a little to what you are saying, and completely understand the stress levels you are experiencing. Take it one day at a time and try to find a little "me" time in your day. Some days I only get 5 minutes to myself. But those 5 minutes make all the difference.
@Stressedout76
You are welcome, we are here to help ourselves and others.
Don't feel shy to chat with me any time.
