...See more Need some support achieving your wellness huddle goal? Share here what type of support you need. It could be ieas for breaking down your goal into a smaller step, ideas for reducing a barrier, help with figuring out the SMART structure for your goal or you need some extra encouragement after a setback, etc! We can then offer the support you're seeking.  This is a supplement to the group chat - sometimes a slower pace allows for new ideas to pop up, and it sticks around for all timezones.

Shared Spaces, Shared Respect: A Reminder on Tolerance & Inclusivity
by Heather225
Last post
 July 12th
...See more Hi everyone! 7 Cups is, at its core, a global sanctuary built on empathy, acceptance, and community. We host a wide variety of group chat rooms to ensure that every individual, regardless of their background, struggles, or identity, has a safe place to feel seen and supported. We want to address a situation that occasionally comes up across our platform, particularly within our LGBTQ+ room, regarding how we interact with spaces that might not apply to us. Sometimes, individuals enter a room simply to express discomfort with its presence on their sidebar or to ask how to remove it. Entering any topic-based support room, whether it’s for the LGBTQ+ community, grief support, chronic illness, (etc., to question its visibility can unintentionally disrupt the supportive environment inside. For communities that may already face outside challenges, our rooms need to remain absolute safe havens. When an interaction makes members feel like they have to defend their right to be visible, it impacts the core purpose of that support group. True tolerance means embracing that spaces exist for everyone, respecting their right to be visible, and allowing those rooms to remain peaceful and inclusive. How the Chat List Works To clear up any confusion and prevent these unintended disruptions: * Active public rooms display automatically so those in need can find them. Listings cannot be customized or hidden individually. * Visibility is not enrollment: Seeing a room on the list does not mean you are a member or obligated to engage. * You choose where to enter: If a room or topic doesn’t apply to your life or beliefs, you simply do not have to enter. The most supportive choice you can make for your fellow members is to just scroll past. No matter which room you visit or find comfort in: You belong here, you are welcome, and your spaces are valid. Let’s continue to choose kindness, hold ourselves to a high standard of mutual respect, and do our caring community proud. ------------------------- Please review our full 7 Cups Community Guidelines to learn more about our standards for respect, safety, and inclusivity.

"Support" Room - Current Vibes and Behaviour
by GnomedBinary
Last post
 July 14th
...See more So I wanted to open this thread because I feel like I'm not the only one who feels that this is the case. The "24/7 Support Room" group chat on the adult side has become a less supportive space, the room peaks around 18 to 24 active daily. Because of the infrequency of downtime in the room, it makes it difficult to use it for its intended purpose. Most of the time, the room is being used for idle convo which can make general support even more challenging. I've also noticed that the room also attracts more trolls than other rooms, which further discourages people from seeking support. It seems people have more or less accepted that the room functions like this, which is unfortunate because it shouldn't be this way. And while I don't expect it to change overnight, these are my suggestions for improving the room's quality: * Having it open for a full day but only during certain times of the week, with guided group support sessions for general mental health. * Encourage members to use already existing rooms for specialized support. * Encourage listeners to reach out to members looking for individual support rather than redirecting them to "Browse Listeners". * Reinforce room purpose, "Support Room" should be for support. Promote the spaces on cups that are for light-hearted or casual convos. * Encourage newbie participation and inclusion. Again while I don't expect the issues to be resolved overnight, this is what I think could improve the room.

Misunderstanding

...See more I Don’t Know if this is the correct group to place this in. Its set up different from what it was befoah so please bare wit me-just let me know if I placed this in the wrong section. This post is bout friendship and misunderstanding. I met this girl when we both were in 4th grade together-she is 65 and I am 66 years old. At one point in 6th grade we lost touch wit each other but I kept thinking of her and was worried. Eventually due to my daughters suggesting to look for her on ***. Luckily I found her and she traveled from Texas to New Yawk to visit me. Over the years I learned she was doing her best to recover from alcoholism and a dysfunctional family. She has been the one and only friend and true supporter I have had in my life. Tho she can be a bit too giving at times. She says I too have been supportive but mine more in listening than anything else. She is very aware I spent 20+ years in a day treatment program trying to recover from all the physical and mental abuse I received within the home by my ex and step father. She is also aware when things get tough I tend to break down and check out where I will ignore all phone calls. Wit her specifically the first time it happened was when I lost my partner for several years in 2020 from lung cancer. She forgave dat and continuously when somethin’ happens more so on my part she always apologizes for her part in it which I tell her theres no need only cuz I see it as her having done nuttin wrong. Moving on to years later-This past week to be exact. I was tellin’ her of what type of environment I'm use to living in mainly due to how I grew up rich vs poor neighbors. Although I am considered poor I grew up many years in a rich neighborhood as my step father in 1981 passed and my mom took over his apartment which rent was crazy low considering this being New York. At one point she stated how my family and I were of high caliber and dat she could tell it by talkin’ to my children but then she said F the rich. At dat point I would say I misunderstood what she meant and I took it offensively. Cuz by no means am I rich but she made no mention of being poor. I ended up checking out for 2 days and eventually Monday sent her a text. She ended up calling but I could tell she was highly angry and upset. Every time I tried explaining myself she saw it as my making excuses. She told me what she felt I gotta have done and at dat point set a boundary wit me which in some ways I see her side yet I feel she too gotta apologize. She claims when she made the comments to me dat she was joking but I didnt take it as such. Prior to hanging up she pretty much said for me to leave her alone but this girl she is my heart we have spoken a lot regarding our family dynamics our friendship and how we basically see each other as family. I dont wanna lose her out my life she is exceptionally important to me and so very special. I texted her on Saturday which she ignored my message. I wanted to call but due to how she came off Friday when I called I was scared. I feared the rejection and her coming down on me. I did holler her today which she did respond but still isnt ready to communicate over the phone. Ya know out of everyone I have known in my past I have never known anyone for as long as I do her. %6 years of friends I Don’t Know is too many years being friends, talkin’ on so many topics, supporting each other and to just throw all them years away I Don’t Know it doesnt make sense to me. I feel if there is true love between two people regardless of what the relationship is between both parties they gotta be willing to come together and do their best to get the situation resolved and move on. As I put in my message to her I mentioned how people do go through things and at times its the bad times dat we learn. All situations good and bad we always have somethin’ we can learn from it and in the end make our relationship stronger than what it was but to do it both parties need be on the same page. Due to my feelings for her I do feel broken and I wanna just give up. Not in as far as self harm but give up in sense of just sleeping, and not attempt to go through any type of relationships wit people not even to my own family. Growing up I was always made feel I didnt have a voice but wit her I did have a voice but after what happened I feel once again I lost the voice to chat and say what I think and feel. I wanna keep contacting her yet I dont want to pester her and make her any more angry and upset than she already is wit me. After what I have said here does anyone feel she too owes me an apology? I did mine like 4 times where she asked what was I apologizing for yet continued coming down on me. I am lost wit all of this.

Communication reflection zone
by JasGab200519970
Last post
 June 8th
...See more Hi there  I’ve been reflecting on an interaction I had yesterday and want to request a communication reflection zone.  Listeners can chat 1-1 when they have miscommunications and it would be wonderful if members too could have that. We could set it up as this only two individuals that did have that miscommunication can chat without others reading or replying to it.  It helps people can chat privately and figure out together what went wrong.  Rule can be the person needs to listen to the other person 5 minutes uninterrupted.  “I’m sorry because… “Here is what went wrong, and here is what I’d do” Please share thoughts  on this

Advertising Discussions

 March 23rd, 2025
...See more Hey, wonderful discussion leaders! We all want more participants in our discussion, of course, we work so hard for offering a great and supportive time for members! We have different ways to advertise them for getting more participants: - Set a alert for announce your discussion/support session/event! I'm sure if you ask in the listener support room, someone would do it for you! - Announce our discussion in the other rooms ! it's an excellent way too! - Adding them on the calendar, feed and/or forum. - etc. How announce when there are already some discussions ongoing? - Being respectful of other ongoing discussions or events! - If there is already an event ongoing on a room, please, don't announce over them. - If you are 10 minutes in advance, there are strong changes that the event on this room end when your start. You can avoid announcing right now on this room, remember what room is it, and come back in 10 minutes and announce later when their event is over and you start, with a message like "Hey, If you like discussions, we will have the next one on.... ", You will probably get even more members interested by discussions of this way! - You also can ask the leader of current discussions to advertise your discussion when their own discussion is over. I'm sure they will be happy to do it for you! Thank you for giving a nice and supportive time for your members, increase participation and being a model. Enjoy your discussions! ❤️

Please Help, I Don't Know Where to Turn!!!

...See more This is rather complicated, so I apologize for that. I joined 7 Cups the end of November. I applied as a Listener a couple days ago and could subsequently log in as one. Now that option is no longer available. My application submission was very unorthodox (long story) and in between the submission fiasco and learning I could log in as a Listener, I requested a member name change. I had to request it through 7 Cups because apparently I tried to change it too close to my two week membership mark, and the system got confused or something and wouldn't let me, saying it was having technical difficulties. In any case, one of the names I requested was the same as what I put on the Listener application. It was granted, only 7 Cups added two zeros at the end of the name. There are so many more idiosyncracies in this scenario it's almost easier to believe I made it all up, but I didn't. What I need to know is who do I contact about all this? I don't mind reapplying, I just don't want 7 Cups to think I'm messing around with them or that I'm a lunatic or worse yet, kick me out of 7 Cups altogether. Can anyone please point me in the right direction of who and how I should contact about all this? I'll be forever in your debt, thanks. ❤️ And thank you for reading this far! 🌹 🐻 .
