Please feel free to call me Zera. 🐱🌺✨

May all be happy. 😊
May all be healthy. 🧑‍⚕️
May all be safe. 🕊️
May all live with ease. 🧘

Sometimes, life is just about putting one foot in front of the other and trusting that the path will appear as you walk it. 
Just know you're not walking it alone. 💗

You don't have to have it all figured out. You don't have to be perfect. Just do what you can. 🌱
You're a worthwhile human being and you are enough. 🫂 
You're doing the best you can. You are allowed to make mistakes and learn from them. 💐

Find community which works to unburden you, rather than one which treats you as a burden. 🤝 
With your newfound levity, work within your community to unburden others. 🤲

The future is less important than present actions which shape the future. 👷📚🌱

Actively combat injustice and help others. Compassion, data-driven analysis, and righteousness are key. 🧠💞📣
The truth will out. 🔎⚖️

It'll all be okay. Just breathe. 🌬️🫁

Water is life. 🌌🌎🏞️🌊

Positive quotes: 

"I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land!" - from the "I've Been to the Mountaintop" speech by Martin Luther King Jr. The promised land was a future of equality and justice. ⚖️

"Moreover, I am cognizant of the interrelatedness of all communities and states. I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial "outside agitator" idea. Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere within its bounds." - from MLK Jr's "Letter from a Birmingham Jail." 💞🔄

Dashboard activities don't stay completed after completing

...See more The daily 3 activities don't stay completed after completing them and filling the 3 piece pie which represents completing the tasks for that day. When one navigates away to other parts of the site and returns to dashboard, the activities show as incomplete and the 3 piece pie to represent the completing of tasks for the day goes back to empty. This issue started yesterday and remains an issue today. Because of that, yesterday's "pie" is empty, and I expect this one's will be too. It's a bit frustrating. Anyone else have this issue?

Main home page not displaying, dashboard inaccessible

...See more When I try to access the main page while logged in, which normally brings me to my dashboard, it just displays a white screen, unable to be interacted with. If I manually type in the url for the community page, that works properly, and I can access the buttons for the growth path and chat. But I cannot access the daily activities on the dashboard page. It loads only a white screen. I'm wondering if this is a known issue, if anyone else is dealing with this, and if it's being looked into and worked on. If so, when the ETA for a fix would be. Thanks.

How do I convince myself I'm worth taking care of?
Self-Esteem / by Zeraphim
Last post
 September 11th, 2024
...See more As the title suggests, I've been struggling a long time with thinking I'm worth taking care of. I suspect that if I had the belief I was worth taking care of, it would inspire the drive necessary to push through the existential anxiety, dread, worries, depression, and thoughts contrary to the idea - such as that I deserve to suffer. It is especially difficult when I cannot escape a bad situation where such negative ideas are reaffirmed, and where disability and society's lack of support creates feelings of isolation and blame for my struggles with my mental health. To function, to avoid further suffering, I must first find a way to push through how I'm feeling and the idea that I deserve to suffer as punishment for being a burden, as interpersonal and societal messaging and treatment suggests is true. One more abusive utterance or aggressive note by my house mate could shatter whatever progress I make. How can I convince myself I'm worth taking care of?

Request to add "Spam/ Advertising" as reason when reporting post
Site Updates / by Zeraphim
Last post
 September 23rd, 2018
...See more There are many unwanted spammy advertising posts on 7cups that I find need reporting so they get deleted promptly. These posts are obvious and usually very easy to distinguish from other posts as they usually include attention grabbing messages and urls in the title. Or, in some cases, they're just a jumble of incoherent words, letters, and numbers. When you click the flag button to report such a post, it requires that we give a reason. So far there is only "Graphic, Racist, or Sexual Content" and "Other" as options. I would like to see "Spam/ Advertising" or something along those lines added as one of the reasons for reporting. This should hopefully help with categorizing reports for users and help internally when reviewing said reports.

Sophia Therapy Request Bot conversation doesn't delete, eternal message notification
Safety & Knowledge at 7 Cups / by Zeraphim
Last post
 February 23rd, 2018
...See more I accidentally clicked the "Considering Therapy" button and I cannot get the Sophia Therapy Request Bot conversation out of my conversation list. Every time I click the (x) to delete the conversation, it's there again when I come back to My Path. Also, now it's giving me an eternal message notification that I have a new message in my conversation with her, and I can't get the overlay on the bottom of the screen or the notification on the top right to leave, no matter how many times I visit the conversation. If I respond to her, to get rid of the notification, she'll automatically respond right back, because she's a bot. So this message notification won't leave. It's getting very frustrating. It also irks me a bit to have the message of needing therapy be consistently thrust into my face. How can I stop it?

Can Noni Bot Give Members The Self Care Option Of Taking Better Care Of Themselves That Listeners Have?
Site Updates / by Zeraphim
Last post
 May 11th, 2020
...See more On my listener account, I've noticed Noni bot has an extra option that I think would be helpful to members too; Self Care: "How can I take better care of myself?" Self care is something I struggle with a lot and try to get support for as a member. Could this option be included for members to use as well? I've used it on my listener account. Noni asks you have helps fill your emotional gas tank and remembers what you tell her, so she can remind you to do those things when you're struggling. I think that would be fantastic for members too. This way, members wouldn't have to log in to their listener accounts so they can be reminded of what helps them cope and care for themselves. I hope this feature can be added for Noni bot's options for members.

Self Care Discussion never happened
Site Updates / by Zeraphim
Last post
 November 18th, 2017
...See more There was an event scheduled in the Community Calendar; Self Card Discussion - Fri Nov 17th 11:00am - 11:30am in the Compassion Corner room, led by @katiaclaire " @katiaclaire will be leading a discussion in the compassion corner on self care, feel free to join in and contribute!" It's supposed to be happening right now and I'm in the Compassion Corner room and it's not happening. There was no indication it was cancelled on the Community Calendar. I'm quite disappointed, as I stayed up for this. Self care is something I really struggle with and could use insight on. I tried searching for the user who was supposed to lead the discussion on 7cups search but the search didn't return anything. Any reason why this discussion didn't happen?
