Welcome to 7 Cups! Introduce yourself here!!

Hi everyone, I'm new here. I signed up because my anxiety has been through the roof lately between work, kids, and my relationship. I just have felt so overwhelmed, and 7 cups looks like it has some good tools for de-stressing. Wish you all the best.

Hi Balsam! It’s nice to meet you! I’m sorry you’re having so much anxiety. 🙁 Have you done a 1-1 chat with a Listener yet? That’s always a good option! Let us know if you have any questions!

@LittleBirdie30 - hello! Nice to meet you too. Yes, I have had a wonderful 1-1 experience so far. This feels like a really great community. I'm glad I signed up.

That’s so great to hear! ❤️

@Heather225 I'm Rohtash from Indian.

welcome to the community Rohtash!

Hi All,

I had a very bad breakup last week. Probably the worst anyone has ever heard. I came to know last week that my so called partner who was apparently 'separated under the same roof' with his wife made her pregnant 16 weeks back. I was also 8 weeks pregnant. She called me last week out of the blue and told me this news. She had no idea about me too. I miscarried this week. Worst part is he has no guilt or remorse and he says he did this so he would not lose either of us. 

I randomly came across this website and thought could give a try.

hey, welcome to the community! if you need any guidance in getting around, you can drop me a PM anytime!

That is beyond heartbreaking 💔

Hi. I am here because my once a week talk therapy session isn't cutting it. I have sever chronic clinical depression. It gets ugly. And dark. I am always sad and always extremely fatigued. I've tried these sorts of support forums before and didn't feel supported. Here's to hoping this one is different. 

@reallyoverallofit

i do hope our community can give you the support you're looking for. welcome!

Hi. I'm 40 and I have 4 teens/young adults (I'll have a 21 year old soon 😱). I'm divorced and remarried and we welcomed a grandchild this year. I don't have a peer group IRL, and no close friends. I really think I'm on the autism spectrum but have not been clinically diagnosed (the doc said, "if you are, you're high-functioning *shrug*). Because of this I don't fit in anywhere except with other obviously neurodivergent people. I know people find me weird and I've learned to be ok with that. Now that I'm 40 I find myself wanting to branch out and do new things. I made a bucket list for this year and I've checked off some things and it's been kind of cool. Nothing major just things outside my comfort zone. I'm really happy to have a space to be heard and not judged.

@Nerdish84 Hi Nerdish! Welcome to 7 Cups! It sounds like you're doing a really great job of spreading your wings and doing things that challenge you, with time! Congratulations on welcoming your first grandchild and we're so happy you're enjoying the community! Let us know if you need anything! 🩷

@Nerdish84  Hi.  I am new here too.  People find me weird too.  I feel like, for  since I was a teenager, that I don't really "fit" anywhere.  And yeah, we just learn to deal with that feeling of not fitting in.  I'm trying this 7Cups out to see if a weirdo like me can find a place.  And I hope you have too.  

@Heather225

HII :3 My name is amy, I'm a trans female (assigned male at birth) I'm 15 and I LOVE helping people, it makes me feel like I actually have a purpose in life :3 Helping people just makes me happy.

@professionalTree4655 amy welcome to 7 Cups. My name is soul or sings when I found 7 Cups 9 years ago I loved the fact that there were so many ways to help people and receive support. 

Have you considered going through the self paced training to become a listerner? I found that after completing the training, I was able to help people even more. It is free and there is no pressure, you just finish it when you have time.

Enjoy your time here at 7 Cups!

Hi everyone! I wanted to introduce myself and let everyone know that if they ever need a friend to talk to, I'm here! My name is Ori and I'm a psychology student and will be graduating in December. I joined 7 Cups as an Active Listener to gain more experience as a listener and be there for those who need extra support! I love reading, coloring, theme parks, and cooking! 

Can't wait to learn more and be part of this community!

@orianathebookworm thank you for your service to 7 Cups.  

Another way to support people is via topic group support sessions. Here are some that are done on serious topics.   https://www.7cups.com/forum/50OverCommunity_193/TeamToolsandTeamUpdates_1705/50plusDiscussionsScheduleandTopics_207920/

Maybe you will find supporting people there fulfilling also.

Hello! I’m new here, joined just a few days ago. I’m a single parent with a demanding job and basically feel like a hamster running on a wheel. I’m tired and have lost the joy in life. I also have a lengthy list of problematic relationships that make me extremely wary of attempting to form any new ones.

A question - how do I see all the replies here? I can only see maybe 30ish and cannot seem to see an option to look at more.

Welcome am new here too. Just joined last night. Also had lost that joy and looking for a positive place to connect with people.

@irrationalKitten108

to your question about replies - I see page numbers at the bottom of my screen to click on for other replies.

On the other note, welcome! I'm pretty new here too, but everyone has been really nice and supportive. Just know that you are not alone <3 I'm a mom with a busy work/life schedule too, which is part of why I signed up. One day at a time right now is how I'm going about it as well as trying to make a little more "me" time throughout the week. Like you, I feel like I kinda lost part of myself and I'm trying to find a way back to being less anxious and enjoying life more again. Best wishes!

@Heather225 Hi everyone, I'm new here. I reached out to a mentor and I'm learning how to use this site. I'm excited to get things going and to join you lovely listeners in this community!

@sduffy26

i'm so glad you connected with a mentor!! that's such a critical part of the journey and it'll help you immensely! if you need any additional help, you can PM me. happy listening!!
