That's quite an aesthetic check-in, River! 💜
Thankyou for the helpful resources too.
Being the newbie now 😛 one tip I have for my peers is to take their time to explore around, this place is really huuuge lol, and has lots to offer, so be gentle with yourself, and go at your pace, while ofcourse feeling free to ask for support and assistance anytime. ❤
This does seem to have a large resource availability. Sometimes I get confused trying to navigate my self around lol ty for the advice
Aw I get that hehe, it's easier to feel lost here xD you're definitely not alone with that, good thing is, you'll always have someone to reach out to, in case of of any questions or assistance if needed, or this thread right here, @toughWriter1030, happy to have you with us!❤
I also want to take this moment to say that I come across various of your supportive replies in the forums often, and it's really heart warming to see them. Keep it up.❤
I’m doing the best that I can. Just very stressed and falling into my depression again. I just want to work on myself so my husband and I can work on our relationship. I feel very alone in everything and want to find ways to open up more.
This is an amazing community full of support. Please reach out. ☺️
i totally understnad where your coming from I battle with depression and i want to work on myself so i can be a better mom and have a healthy relationship with others
@vargashailey
If you would like to talk, I would love to listen and try to help you or just be someone you can talk to.
@theriverissinging
Beautiful check in, River! I'm doing alright at the moment. Taking things one day a time, and reminding myself that it's okay to take breaks for self-care.
What I hope to achieve by being here on Cups as a listener is to provide a warm and safe no-judgment zone for our members to talk.
As an oldie, 😉, one tip I would give to newer members of the site would be to take your time. Finding a listener that you click with can take some trial and error, and that's okay! The Sharing Circle is also a pretty cool spot to be able to chat about what's on your mind in a group setting. ❤️
Hi!
I'm looking for support on how yo cope with a break up and help with not wanting to message or talk to them after it's done
@dynamicPineapple9824
That is the exact reason I started 7 Cups. I am struggling with how to cope. I write down my thoughts/or send a text to myself with my thoughts. It is helpful, but I am still struggling and looking for something else to aid in this process.
@imaginativePine3117
It's really hard to cope, I've tried calming techniques but I just want to message them but I know I shouldn't.
Is writing the thoughts down helping you? Is it making you feel even slightly better?
@dynamicPineapple9824
I feel you and am so sorry you are experiencing this too.
Is the writing thoughts down helpful? Yes and no. The no is that it is not permanently fixing anything, which is why I am still searching for more support. In that moment, and for a bit of time after, it is SO helpful. I basically sit down and give myself permission to cry and be vulnerable. It is nice because it is just with me, so there is no judgement or backlash. I write down what I would say to them if I had the chance. Some days I write nothing, some days it is as short and sweet as “why?” other days I pour it all out. It has also been helpful to look back on what I wrote to see how far I really have come, even though it seems like I am still on day one. It is not guaranteed to be a fix all, but it certainly provides me a good pick-me-up and allows me to get it off my chest. I would urge you to give it a try.
Today I have anxiety about going to work. I feel like I am failing at my job the expectations are so high that I can't meet them. We often work understaffed and as manager I try to pick up where I can instead of watching the staff struggle. I want to help because I know the feeling of the struggle, but in the end it is taking the focus off my job.
@bubliebrand22
I can totally relate. I've had several management positions and when problems arise guess who usually gets blamed... My current job I'm a Quality Control Inspector and it's the same thing. Guess that's just life.
Today I'm feeling kinda uurrrrgghhh...
(That's the best description I can come up with ATM)
As for what I'm looking for at 7Cups, it's mostly other people to talk to, people who understand chronic illness, depression, & what it means to be afflicted by it. Hopefully if I find the right listener, I'll hear some good advice too.
I am doing very well when it comes to my personal life I have had my opportunity at taking the training. Oh wow there is so much and then the growth path that is really cool. I am doing my second mock chat in about 10 minutes I feel good that I can have this help so that I have an opportunity to become good listener I am really going to try my best.
I am so grateful for the listener who took my 1chat1. I was such a mess emotions all wacky feeling. I felt relief after I had ended the chat. I hope that I can help someone I am so happy that my feelings were all wacky that night because that's how I came across 7Cups.
Thank you
Everyone who is a part of 7cups
I’m so glad to be here. I hope I can be of help to others.
@theriverissinging
Am really not sure how am doing. I feel like my whole world I crumbling down on me. Am here to find help with these overwhelming feelings. I just wanna wake up one morning feeling differently from how I feel lately.
I believe I can do better, and turn-out great, and so can you. I believe everyone can get better with support and motivation.
Good evening, okay day. Exhausted from the work week.
Looking for better coping methods to deal with stressful environments. Achievement would be more mindful at work and understanding.
Share circle always help me feel better talking/typing things out. Host is always thoughtful on how we all feel or what we are going through.
