Hi, I'm a newbie. I've done a few chats but am still learning the ropes. I signed up to help others feel they aren't alone.
Welcome to the listener community, @purplelady568, how nice of you to join hands in making people feel less alone, one chat at a time. It sure is a learning curve around here and you never have to do this alone, always feel welcome to reach out to a mentor or a listener coach, anytime you need assistance with your listener role or navigating the site as a listener. We got you! ❤ (text in blue is clickable)
I'm here because I want to talk with people, hopefully socialize. I've been sad and anxious lately, googled app that could help out and this came up. I hope it will. I'm hopeful being here.
Hello @neonDime377, welcome to the community. Feeling lonely and isolated impacts alot on our mental health, I'm so glad you're taking a step forward in reaching for a sense of belonging in the community, hoping you find great support and company here. Cheers to staying hopeful. ❤
Hello Everyone...
@turquoiseLunch5688 Hello! How are you doing?
yes i have had a hard time asking for help for fear of rejection
Hey @compassionateCar7091, welcome onboard.
Having a hard time asking for help due to fear of rejection is so valid, you're not alone finding it a struggle to reach out. I do hope the anonymous nature of this site, and the multiple spaces for support (1-1 chats, group chatrooms, forums, self paced support through self help guides and growth paths) could help in someway, to feel more comfortable in reaching out for support, and that you do receive the compassion and space you're needing.❤

Not sure how to start this. But just to be brief and to the point: I was looking for a place to vent or rant (I’ve read there’s a difference) and let out all my negative emotions and comments and quips or responses.
The long version: I have been feeling like I have been doing too much of the above around my friends and family that I feel it’s becoming frustrating for them and I would hate to push them away any more than I’ve already done.
Thats why I’m here.
I have tried to vent and release these emotions to one of the closest people to me and it has started to turn ugly. I was complaining and venting to him in confidence about very private things but he started pressuring me to communicate with other people in my life to solve my problems, which I did not appreciate; in fact it stressed me out even more. So at this point our relationship has turned into me faking being fine and faking happy responses just so he wouldn’t threaten to approach my friends with my personal private issues.
And I guess I do have a few issues. I don’t want them to seem bigger than they really are so I hope the below can be taken with a grain of salt.
I do feel sad often. I’m starting to wonder what’s REALLY the point of anything in life.. I feel very unmotivated to do anything other than the absolutely necessary things that other people are expecting from me, and the bare minimum at that. Even if I do manage to accomplish anything it’s because I’ve pressured myself to do them. Keeping aside feeling very low energy and tired most of time if I’m not feeling nauseous for no reason (I’ve had multiple medical checks done, nothing is really wrong with me).
All I think about is negative. Lately. All I want to do is complain. I want to complain about how tired I feel. I want to complain about how messy the house is. I want to complain about all the things that need to get done. I want to complain about something as stupid and insignificant as the smell of the food. I want to complain about how someone has folded a blanket or put a book away. It is all dumb and insignificant.
Everything seems pointless.
im doing fine

Good to hear.😊
Questions
🟪 How are you doing?
I've been recently battling depression that lead me to finally press my partner on how our relationship has not been working for quite some time. She confirmed that she had no romantic feelings towards me. She thinks that everything else in our relationship is perfect and would keep it that way but it makes her unhappy that I'm unhappy that she can't give me the type of relationship i need and that she thinks we should split up. Meanwhile my business that was recently started is pretty much only viable financially within the context of us being together.
🟪 What are you looking for at 7 Cups, if anything specific? Anything you are hoping to achieve/obtain while being here?
I want to figure out how to be okay with the change in my relationship so that we can continue to be a part of each other's lives in some capacity. I want to get some guidance on how I can also better myself mentally and work through some of these old issues with family and previous life that I've never been able to address.

@theriverissinging
Hi all. I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I am new here and am diagnosed with Depressive anxiety disorder. It is quite well managed but some days are extremely difficult. I would like to connect with others to hopefully combat isolation feelings and for support and to help support other when I can.
