 February 20th
...See more As we enter February and embrace our monthly theme [https://www.7cups.com/forum/projectsandevents/CommunityActivitiesEvents_1908/7CupsinFebruaryTheHeartofConnection_374480/], The Heart of Connection, we want to take a dedicated moment to celebrate a truly historic milestone: the 100th Anniversary of Black History Month! Originating in 1926 as "Negro History Week" through the vision of Carter G. Woodson, this month has grown into a global celebration of achievement and a vital time for reflection. This centennial anniversary is a powerful reminder of a century of progress, the strength of the human spirit, and the vital role of Black voices in our shared journey toward mental wellness and equality. We Want to Hear from You: This 100 year milestone is most meaningful when it is celebrated by our community. We are inviting everyone, Listeners and Members alike, to help us fill our forums with stories and reflections that honor this legacy. Do you have a post or a story to share? We are looking for community-led content, such as: * Highlights of Black psychologists, activists, or thinkers over the last century who have transformed mental health. * Stories on how history and heritage shape your modern journey toward healing and resilience. * Art, Poetry, and Wisdom! If you feel inspired to write a forum post to honor this 100th anniversary or any other topics related to the month, please link your post in the comments below. Every community contribution will be added to our February Masterpost to ensure your voice is heard and celebrated during this historic month. As we look back on the last 100 years, who is a figure from Black history that has inspired your own resilience? Share their name or a quote below to help us start the celebration. ------------------------- Further reading from you, the community! Please check these out and reply below to have your posts added!

Horizons series 🌄🌌

...See more Hello there👋 I am very glad to finally bring my Horizons series to life and share it with you. Alhamdulillah (thank Allah) الحمد لله 🤍 This project is so precious and special to me ✨. I put a lot of time and energy into making it unique with our unique journeys.  It is an opportunity for reflection, meditation and thus finding the flow in life.  I believe that the purpose from our lives is to achieve the noble purpose itself and not simply to exist. In Shakespeare's theatre Hamlet, Ophelia says "Life is too precious to be trusted to uncertainties". It is Indeed.  I created this series aiming to provide a peaceful place where we can search for meaning and hopefully find it.  لنجد الفنارة التي سترشدنا إلى بر الأمان. We will go on time-hunting (yes we will catch the time haha ) life-climbing and many diverse tours in the different communities and notably inside our thinking Insha'Allah (Allah willing). Our tours are enjoyable, peaceful and kind. We will make discoveries and clear misconceptions about ourselves which will help us understand more and more. Each corner of life is important to take care of. In a word we will find NEW HORIZONS 🌄🌌 Let's find our paths. Light it. Embrace it. Seek guidance through it.  Horizons clear our minds.  Clearing our minds heals our souls and lights our journeys 🕯️💡 📍Every horizon will have its discussion about the main points that characterize it. These points will be highlighted in each thread's question or questions.  I invite you to be part of this enriching experience. Feel free to join at any time.  Horizons are for everyone our mission is to find the clear pathway.  May Allah the merciful guide us towards the straight pathway آمين  * Discussion 1: your FUTURE my FUTURE our FUTURE 📣(@@) [https://www.7cups.com/forum/countries/MentalHealthWellbeing_2687/YourFUTUREmyFUTUREourFUTURE_380022/]  * Discussion 2: Express your vision of your future in your unique way ✨ [https://www.7cups.com/forum/trauma/JournalingStories_318/Expressyourvisionofyourfutureinyouruniqueway_380412/] * D [https://www.7cups.com/forum/trauma/JournalingStories_318/Expressyourvisionofyourfutureinyouruniqueway_380412/]iscussion 3: What is your favorite place on earth 🌍?

 Saturday
...See more 💫 Summer reflections and stories ✨ Hello Hello Welcome! 🤗 As the summer of 2026 comes to a close and autumn settles in, @cheerfulKiwi1776 and I decided to host this special event in order to cherish the beautiful memories we’ve created and reflect on the lessons learned through life's challenges. We each navigated our own metaphorical kayak over these past three months—and now we want to hear about your voyage: * How was your ride this summer?  * Did you enjoy the journey? * Did you find your way to calm waters? 🌊 * What is the most valuable lesson or takeaway you're bringing into fall? 🍂 This is a safe, open space to express yourself freely and connect with one another. Share your story however you like—write a poem, a piece of theatre 🎭, share a drawing🎨 🖌️, a map 🗺️, tell a story, or try something entirely new. Let your creativity flow! 🤩💯 📍The teens' session will be held on the 6th of September 2026 at 15:00 EDT (3PM) in the special events room (teens' side). 📍The adults' session will be held on the 6th of September 2026 at 17:00 EDT (5PM) in the special events room (adults' side).  Mark your calendars 🗓️!  Looking forwards to hearing from you 💌 📌This event is part of the Horizons series [https://www.7cups.com/forum/countries/General_2439/Horizonsseries_380020/].

...See more Imagine we could put ordinary moments in a museum. A half-finished cup of tea. ☕ A screenshot of a funny conversation. The sound of rain at 2 AM. A song you played until you got tired of it. A random day when you felt genuinely happy. What would you put in your museum? No big achievements. Just little things that mattered. 🌱

I feel unappreciated and compared at work - need help
by amiableHuman2984
Last post
 August 31st
...See more Hello everyone, I need some help with my work situation. I work somewhere and my supervisor is very hard on me. I always try my best and work hard, but he never sees it. He is always complaining about my work and comparing me to another colleague. He always says "she is good at this and that" and it makes me feel like I am not good enough. Three days ago, he sent me to learn something for HR. I was there for only 3 days. Yesterday he told me to go back to my desk and said I have learned enough, but I haven't. I still need more time to learn properly. Then I heard him telling someone that the manager asked if they want to take back someone and he will choose. Now I feel stressed and scared that I might lose my opportunity. I feel like he says I am doing nothing even when I am working hard. Has anyone experienced this kind of work pressure or a difficult supervisor? How did you handle it? How can I protect myself and still do my job well?

Hesitate to leave
by amiableHuman2984
Last post
 August 31st
...See more Hello, I need sincere help. I have wasted 1 and a half years in scanning. They hired me as a CSO (Customer Service Officer), but they left me alone in scanning. I was the only one doing that work. Even now as a CSO, I have a bad supervisor who treats me like a tool. I know myself, I know everything in this work, and I have helped the company to grow, but management only listens to him. No one sees my hard work. I have done a lot for this company. I see people who came just a few months ago talking about promotion, and they are being praised, while for me, they only complain and give me a hard time. They look down on me. So I need help: should I leave this job or should I be patient? I have decided to leave at the end of this year, but I am hesitating because of my family. This job has really affected me mentally.
