Hi there!!!
You seem like a pretty darn cool alien! :3 I'm Charlie, and I'm 15, too! I love animals, and singing, and art, though I'm not very good at any of the art projects I try 
Rainbow colors are really lovely, and I like how you type, because it's very pretty 
You're very sweet, and it made me so happy to hear that you love me! You're so kind, and I love you too! You deserve so much love, and happiness, and I hope that you get to pet lots of bunnies today 
Although I have to say that I'm a big fan of cats, but bunnies are super cute, and I used to ride horses! I know it's cliche to ask, but do you have a favorite color? I hope that you have a great week
Sending love and hugs your way :3
@plantkissed whoops I forgot to tag you @ih0pe :3
Hello! I'm mimameid, age 23, and one of my hobbies is hiking! :D Random fact is that I ummm...I actually don't own a smartphone LOL.
My depression started around age 13, but it became on and off once I got into high school and I didn't take medication for it anymore. Two summers ago, though, it returned with a vengeance and I'm now back on meds and trying to keep my life together. Even though it's more of the milder form of depression, it still causes so many issues in my life. I'm glad that I found such a nice place such as 7cups to help me cope a little.
Nice to meet you! ^^
@mimameid. You know I bet it didn't come out of nowhere and I bet that you can get better like never before. Also one day you should get a smartphone :-) it will be a lot of fun
hello everyone, my name is animalkiwi, i am 24 years old
as far as my hobby go, i will say its a tie between watching movies and filmmaking,
i was always fond of photography but it gre to filmmaking, i dun know maybe because of too much movies lol
random fact about me also revolves around it, i talk to myself a lot, people say its a bad thing but i keep doing it subconciously ,maybe because of my depression, anyhow like no matter where i am, i always imagine a film crew following me and filming everything i am doing, like all my life is a big feature film with me as a centre role, its too weird i know lol
my depression has a big role in why i am like this, all my life i have been depressed, maybe because i was exposed to some really sad things as a child, living in a dysfunctional family, and not having any sibling means i faced everything alone and having no one to share with, even growing up i didnt had friends to this date
anyhow i have accepted it and i try to distract my mind as often as i can :)
P.S: I was playing a video game today and i heard a brilliant thing in it which is ironic because vide games are non serious lol ,anyhow line was this:
"The thing about happiness is that you only know you had it when it's gone. I mean, you may think to yourself that you're happy. But you don't really believe it. You focus on the petty bullshit, or the next job, or whatever. It's only looking back by comparison with what comes after that you really understand, that's what happiness felt like"
P.S.S : I dont like kiwi animal lol
@animalKiwi59. I hope things change for you for the better
Hiii! Someone tagged me on here, but I have no idea who :)
Either way, I just wanted to pop in and say hi, not really sure what else to say :) My name is Lana, I'm 20 and I adore reading. And cats. And music. And food. Food is nice.
Hey, all! My real name is Kati and I'm 18 years old. 
I live in Delaware. Some of my favorite hobbies are art, video games, and shopping! I suffer from depression, anxiety, and social anxiety but I try my best not to let it over power me. I've come a long way but I still have a lot of fighting to do. Feel free to message me!
@Amethyst64 Hi Kati :) Nice to meet you. You got me curious here about what video games you like. I'd love to hear more about that.
You also mentioned your love for shopping so I'm wondering how you would describe your style. And if you were forced to wear one outfit for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Hello :D well my favorite video games are usually from Nintendo (Legend of Zelda, Pokemon, Animal crossing etc). My style is pretty laid back I would say, I'd be totally comfortable wearing a tank top & sweats as my one and only outfit. 
Hello, I'm Helle. I'm 23 years old and I love music, especially singing and playing it on my guitar, piano or saxophone.
A random fact about me is I like playing video games, but I'm not very good at them. I've got a gamer score of a little over 12,000 on my Xbox.
My depression has been present in my life since the beginning of high school, and maybe even some of middle school. I spent a long time pretending nothing was wrong because of the social stigma that comes with depression. Once I got into college things started getting more stressful and my depression became harder to ignore. Winter has always been a tough time of year for me and sometimes I cannot even convince myself to do the things I love.
@Hellelujahs Hey there! I love music too. I play the ukulele (though not very well). I've also been dealing with depression for a while, about as long as you have (we are very close in age). Depression is difficult. It's a terrible feeling to be depressed and not be able to be cheered up by the things you love doing. I hope there is someone in your life who understands. Just remember that you are strong and the 7 cups community are all here to support you. There are self help guides on depression you can check out or talk with a trained active listener (I am one!). Thank you for sharing.

Hi I'm Shanna. I am 19. I love books, but I haven't read a whole one in a while. I love to write poetry, and I also love language and languages. I do origami. Lately I find myself watching a lot of shows. I have an orange cat but he lives with my parents. Have a nice day.
@Irongryphon3
hello! Nice to meet you~ So what kinds of books and languages do you like?
My father died right before Christmas. I live with my elderly mother and she is emotionally stuck in the past. I am depressed because I am tired of hearing her negative stories about dead relatives and other people. Some days I don't want to get out of bed. It's harder for me to do my household chores, cook, read or watch TV because she wants to talk all the time. I feel suffocated and want to move on. I don't have friends.
@marterrich1 You already seem to know that the negative stories may hold little, if any, truth to them. Just view them as how this person sees them and nothing more... just looking through her lenses for a moment. Thoughts are very much changeable and you can hold on to the images of people as you truly saw them. What is your truth? Go with that. It sounds like you've had a lot to deal with lately and I can understand about not having friends - sometimes it's hard to connect with people when you are going through an especially difficult time. It might feel like others don't understand and sometimes they really don't. If you ever need to chat 1-on-1 with someone, please give me a try. I would love to help and support you.
I play bo3.
