Hey! I am here for support when I feel alone. And I have became a listener to be there for others who need someone to listen to them!

Hello,


I’m not doing so great. Ian started to spiral back into my “sad state.”


I made an account earlier this year and I ended up not using it because I started to feel better. But I’m struggling again. I know another person can’t fix my problems but I feel so alone. Hoping to just find people going through similar feelings so I know I’m not alone in this.

Hey @neonStrings9971, feeling stuck in a slump is quite overwhelming and challenging to experience, especially when it seems like there's no way out anytime soon. I'm glad you're reaching out in 7 cups, and hope you can find your way out of this slump soonish. Taking it one day at a time is helpful at times, we all deserve to take breaks from the challenges.❤

I'm in my thirties and for the past few years I've been asking myself what the heck is wrong with me. Trying to get it together. I'm not well but I want to be! I like the chat rooms, I'll probably roam there a lot. For now connecting with a listener is a bit nerve wrecking I gotta be honest.

@forwardCircle

Aw I get the ever so commonly used question to put oneself down "what's so wrong with me?" when things don't seem to work out for us, or the way we want something to be, when we start losing touch with reality and simply start feeling stuck in a negative spiral, these are only a few experiences here, I'm certain it varies for everyone, and it's all too much to deal with. An assurance, whatever it is you experience or feel, is human, something about yourself you never will have to question.❤

I really like how you said, "I'm not well but I want to be!", and how you're trying to keep it together, shows how resilient you are, and willing to keep trying your best at getting better. A great way to keep it moving is to reach out for support, and yay *you* for being here, exploring the community, it's nice to know you're enjoying the chatrooms so far.

Connecting with a listener can be daunting, I feel you on that. It's good how we do not have to rush through anything, specially that involves our feelings and/ or comfort, while talking about one's feelings and struggles is hardly ever 'comfortable' so to say, it is worth something taking the first steps in what I fondly like to say "testing waters" lol, with listeners it's amazing how there's different people here offering support, and we can always read through the profiles/ bios see if we catch a vibe with someone, to start off slow building rapport and letting the trust build.

While you do that, If forums like these speak to you there's also a place to sort of "journal", have your personal diary in cups (you can mention if you want others to reply there or no), Here (clickable).

It's okay to take your time exploring this space, and to connect with listeners, when you feel ready. Rooting for you.❤

@theriverissinging hi. I’m so nervous. I have never actually done this before. That is joined a site or platform like this.

I have so much to say but i am speechless at the same time.

I do not know what to do.

I need someone to listen. I have people who love me and listen to me but i do not want to worry them with my stupid overthinking.

@dapperOak8858 ditto mate.. I chose to move to the woods as didn’t want family and old friends to see the person I have become, broken but willing and wanting to find ways to cope.. family and friends wanted to help years ago, but it hurt so much to see their faces when I started to spiral.. wishing you much luck, and in my world I call it puppy luck the best kind.. hope today is a better day than yesterday 🐾✌️🌄🦘🇦🇺 👍 g’day from the Mutz and I..

the so much to say but speechless is very apt for myself also.. unless I am talking dog stuff, I try not to talk or go out as I end up annoying everyone +++ yet I do see there may be hope.. new here today.

  1. @Kujo2099 hello and congratulations on graduation, already ticking boxes in life 🐾✌️🌄🦘🇦🇺
  2. I am new here also and 43 you are reaching out for help to set yourself up for future support and success, wishing you well and here if you ever need to chat.. I only know the things that have helped me get thru life to this point, learning triggers and how to defuse them.. for me it is removing myself however this is not always possible if they are work or family related..
  3. my biggest thing found and told, find what you love and would do for free as a “job”. I help rehabilitate animals mainly dogs who are rejected by rescue groups, vets, or trainers.. animals never judge or care how I see myself, offering the only unconditional love I have ever known..
  4. keep up asking if your not happy with dr, find another one you like.. have a frat day or night 🌅👩‍🎓

Thank you that helps, I’ll try and not be a nag but I’ll definitely consider asking for advice and if I can keep a group a people in a ever evolving circle if I can. How do I gain more confidence and know what I love, I’ve been going with the flow and I don’t really have a personality or a love for anything, I just watch anime and play video games.


I apologize if that’s a lot to read
