...See more We often time come to 7 cups in search of something: -Someone who understands -Someone to talk to -Someone who will listen -Someone to keep us company Many of us find that - which is awesome! However, there may come a time when as a member, you are ready to leave. And that is okay. It doesn't have to be forever or even an awfully long time. Maybe you are leaving to go out to eat with friends for the first time in weeks or months. Let us know so we can send you off with warm regards!

Update

...See more Okay so- Update!! Ive done some reasearch(probably not enough). And to be honest, I'm so glad I got told to do reasearch about this stuff. I've done small reasearch about DID and just dissociation in general. i naturally dissociate a lot since i have adhd, and i thought it was like- fine. but whats been happening hasnt been regular dissociation. right now, i feel a bit better, but i still feel a little off. This feeling has happened in the past, having itstarted since i was around 8, but it wasnt as bad as it is been for the past few days. I've always automatically ignored it, but i havent been able to lately. that weird fuzzy feeling, the feeling confused on who i am and that this isnt my body and etc. It's never been this sever, but i think its because this is the most genuinely stressed ive been in awhile. Anyway back to the reasearch topic. The one that matches what im feeling the most is a type of OSDD, I'll copy and paste since I don't feel like typing it in my own words... *Having chronic dissociative symptoms such as identity alteration, but thealteration and separation between identities is not as severe as in DID. There maybe identity disturbance, but not the presence of clearly separated parts or amnesia.* I mean, it makes sense. I struggle with remembering things, always thinking I just forgot but it's kind of odd. Sometimes my sisters tell me that I be crying at random times in the day, but i ABSOLUTELY do not remember that. And also times that my mom randomly tells me to go with her and i say 'why didnt u tell me before' and she says 'I told you a few hours ago'. Like, i be wondering what the *** i was doing a few hours ago. the gibberish is more prominent at times today. The voice sounded more masculine. It isn't constantly murmurs that go on non-stop, its for a few minutes near every hour or smth close to that. im so tired, i just want it to stop. it makes me feel like im going insane. I can't tell anyone about it at home. My sister makes fun of me for everything, my mom won understand it at all, my dad would tell me 'its js in your head, get over it" and stuff like that. And if i told my other older sister, she'd make it about herself some how. And my 'therapist' isnt even an actual therapist. She's just a 'skills trainer' so she cant even diagnose me or anything. oh waiit, i just realize it DOESNT include amnesia. sorry, its nearly 2am and i just finished reading a 12 page thing about different dissociation and DID/OSDD. I'm really tired lol. this is another smash up of my self-writing. right now, at 4:21am, the static feeling is worsened again. its getting hard to feel who i am again. i hate this. im going insane. im sorry

I feel like everyone's gonna leave anyway and that makes me feel ok about what I've been stressing since last month.. i have trust issues and I'm afraid one day my good internet friends will be bad to me or will stop talking to me one day.. It's ok it will be better, I dont like changes but I have to face it even I fear .. :c

"The feeling of shame, guilt, and fear of failure."
by sunny7997
Last post

...See more I recently realized that I was suffering from wrong thinking, especially since I was following some scientists. In energy, their content was somewhat misleading. After I discovered the truth, it was a shock that brought me back to my senses and reality, and I am slowly trying to correct my mistakes. Imagine that for two years I did not ask for a work certificate until recently. I am shocked. Is it a shock and a distortion of my thinking? And the people I was following and I thought they were guiding me to the right path could not help me, but once I stopped following their delusions and resorted to God and recovered properly, my vision became clear, but I still have some fears, but I am better than before because those things made me feel that I was in control of my reality, and thus I feel very guilty. They were conflicting beliefs. Recently, I discovered that my addiction to social media also distorted my perception of myself, so I immersed myself in those energy sciences and was drawn into anesthetizing my mother, and I thought I was curing her.

"Words of Wisdom" for a very unmotivated teen

...See more I have a teen who... ... doesn't want to study. ... doesn't want to exercise. ... doesn't want to do much of anything except play video games. ... doesn't seem to care about any of it. what witty (or wise) words of wisdom would you share with a very unmotivated teen? Another way to look at it: If you were once a teen, what would you tell your teenage self to help yourself get through the doldrums of high school life? If you are now a teen: What words of wisdom do you actually find helpful??? 😁😁😁 THANK YOU!!! 😁😁😁

...See more My body doesn't feel like my own. It doesnt feel like me. She isnt me. Why do I feel like this. like I dont know who I am anymore. This isnt my name, my voice, my body, my life. Hate feeling like this. I hate it. The feeling is getting so much worse. It's hard to think. I hate it. I dont even know 'i'. who i am. had this feeling so many times but never get to talk about it because i thought i was just being anxious or something. i hate this. the only thing i can say that it feels like is static, or forgetful of myself. i dont know i tried talking to someone about it, but he just said im overthinking. I know im not. its like there is something else. like, ik shes a therian, but thats not it. its not me. that isnt me. who am i I feel better, but at the same time not. It feels like there is someone else. Not me. I dont know. I hate it. Theres gibberish, thats what i hear. a few words here and there. It seems so far, like if theyre in another room. I still feel like static but more compressed. I don't know how to explain it well. Hate it. I also woke up really shakey today too. I don't know anymore. I feel like im going insane. This isn't normal, right?? Hearing talking that i cant understand, feeling like im not the only one in my own body. Thats not normal. These are my writings going from 2 days ago to today. Im sorry for the long writings.
