@Celaeno you celestial angel, you'll never stop surprising me with your sweet heart. To be honest, if there's anything depression has taught me, it's that I should always try to make people smile and feel loved because you never ever know what they can be going through. We each have our demons and battles, so I'm here - not to get rid of them, but rather to be that light in their darkness, reflecting the person's awesomeness and helping them through the dark until they find the sun again. I'm merely the water that helps you see how amazing you are. And you, sweet one, are most certainly special.

@ZaraSmiles, you're not merely the water, lovely - you're the ocean, your waves are cleansing out our sadness, gently whispering comforting words: "you are not alone". Your presence gaves us a glimpse of something magnificent and true. You're the destination for raindrops falling from the corner of our eyes, finding their way to the safe refuge.

@politeCup86, firstly, I love you!

To answer your first question, to be honest, I am not sure! I do not find myself to be any more or any less important or loved than anyone else here. That's a subjective question c; So how does it feel? Well, it doesn't c: I do what I do out of love <3

And I don't mind you asking. My mom sadly passed away in June of 2014, and I am still learning every single day how to cope with that, and that is okay. I don't have to be perfect in my grieving process. I think that was the hardest part, learning how to live without someone to love, and realizing that you are not going to grieve in the same way as other people.

If I can be honest, you, too, have taught me a lot about the road to being better. You've taught me that no matter what, it's easy to spread kindness, because even if you're not feeling the best, you find ways to encourage other members and listeners, and give them so much love. I personally am thankful that our paths have crossed, because you're someone here who has really influenced me, and you're someone that I really adore seeing posts from. Please remain this lovely forever, okay? I love you <3

Ok, hmm... I'm Celaeno and I'm 23. I have depression for quite some time, but I tend not to think since when - in my case it will probably be a life-long condition, so I prefer to focus on how well I can manage and befriend it ^^;

Just like for @ZaraSmiles, my favourite hobby is to read. I love it and I can swallow a book in one day. The hardest blow for me is when suddenly I can't do it during a breakdown - it's like taking me from the safest refuge.

I chose my nickname after a harpy from the Greek mythology, and I use it to describe my depression for years now. Harpies are creatures with a face of the women and the body of birds. I always thought it fits rather nicely a symbolic image for depression - a monster with a human face, who can fool you with a voice which sounds like your own. Something hoovering above your head, waiting to spot any weakness to catch its prey. It sounds grim, but it helps me to visualize the struggle better ^^;

TW: abuse, manipulation

@politeCup86, thanks, lovely, your words are really kind. I have to disappoint you a bit, though.

I think we are all presenting differently to others in the real life than in this community, and I don't necessary mean it in the negative way. I'm much kinder to the strangers, I'm polite and helpful in the old-fashioned way. To my few friends I'm a loyal, quiet chap who listens and observe more than talks.

However, for my family I'm not so lovely at all. They know me the best, so I allow myself to be more free around them. They love me deeply, but it doesn't undermine the fact that I'm a really, really, really stubborn and rebellious. If you want me to do something, just tell me an opposite - I'm like a child in that sense ^^; I'm much more expressive with them, I constantly try to make witty remarks and puns to make them laugh at which I'm pretty good.

Unfortunately, I can also be mean. Like, in a deeply cruel way. I know exactly what to say to the person to inflict an emotional pain, I can manipulate someone to feel guilt or trick them to do something according my plans. When I was a kid I've had problems which no one recognized and I coped with them by mistreating people, mostly my younger brother. I wasn't a full-time bully, nevertheless there are incidents when clearly I was a perpetrator in hurting others. I was terrified by my behaviour and it took me years of reeducating myself to learn emotional management skills. I've come far from the turbulence of the teenage years and I think I've stopped being a manipulator for years now, but it's something which happened.

So I don't think I'm lovely at all. I think I'm kind and honest, brave and funny, but also naive, sulky, manipulative, moody, bossy, and stubborn. Those aspects are not contradicting themselves - I simply accept them and improve the ones which are unwanted. Humans are both complicated and simple, we both have done loving and shameful things, and that's natural. 7 Cups community is just a space for common, beautiful, complicated people to outbalance bad deeds in the world.

You see, we all have a part of ourselves we don't show. It's easy to put someone on the pedestal, but personally I think it's dangerous and unhealthy to present someone as better and more worthy than others among him. The only thing I do here is listening to others in forums, just like I wanted to be heard - that's all ^^;

Regarding being a listener, I actually have an account. For 3 or 4 of weeks I've been listening to the stories of strangers and it was a beautiful, rewarding experience. Soon though, I felt overwhelmed. I've put my energy to helping others and just there wasn't any left for me to use in m recovery. And I don't mean that in a way that I haven't set boundaries or that I forget to self-care.

Active listening requires a lot of mental capacity, and I only realized that when I meet the other side of the community. It's not just about listening and being empathetic - that's an easy part, really. You have to be present in the given moment, concentrate on the lovely person's stories, giving an instant comforting feedback. Right now I cannot do that in the instant messaging system without risking my health. I have to have a space to breath and think, and to step back. Being a member is 100% sufficient for me. I don't aspire to become anything more than I currently am - a stranger on the Internet who is interested in your story and want to ease the pain a bit.

Sorry for such a length reply. I don't know if it's something you expected. I hope you are well today. All my love, Cup ❤️

Well lovely Celaeno, i have asked u this question bcuz i expected this answer :) it wasn't a random question hon :)

I appreciate your honesty and every word u have written about ur self :) and as much as u try to convince me well im still holding to my opinion and not disappointed. And i will repeat my self. You are so lovely and i hope u will know how lovely you are one day :*

And I'm not saying that what u have mentioned is not true. It's so honest and i appreciate it. I just want u to know that we hold a magnifier and look through it at our selves and everything looks so big ... true story :)

Another thing i wanted to share, i was/ still somehow convinced that I am an ugly , abnormal, freak, dirty, filthy ...... etc person and i always was convinced that if ppl would know what i have done and what i was able to do they would think the same about me , but surprisingly enough, ppl i told them about my reality, they didn't think about me in that horrible way. And they made me understand why i acted in a bad/ not okay way.

And i know how u feel regarding the listening. It's a great explanation from u. Thank you a lot for answering me.

All the love to u Celaeno, the loveliest person ever heart

My favourite part about programming surely is creating something from nothing. When I wrote my first C++ program I felt like I could do anything, it was so impressive to see the computer doing what I was deciding.

The best language in my opinion is CSS - it surely lacks of logic instructions and clauses but I LOVE designing and styling! PHP is pretty cool as well.

Thanks for tagging me in this guys :)

I'm DA. I'm 19 years old, dreading turning 20 in a few months. I guess I should call TV show and movie watching my main hobby since I do this a great amount. My favourite TV shows are currently The Flash, Gotham, and How To Get Away With Murder. I also love American Horror Story and get really excited watching Lady Gaga on the current season of it. Some people might think I spend too much time watching shows and movies but seeing as I'm aspiring to have a career in that industry it's pretty much my life.

Fun fact: I have a cat named Kurt (named after my favourite character from Glee, Kurt Hummel. Everyone asks me if I named him after Kurt Cobain and my answer is always no lol) He was originally named Felicity (after Felicity Smoak from Arrow) but then the vet told us that he's actually a boy so then he became Kurt.

I believe depression is something I have been living with my whole life and I'm still figuring out a way to get through it. I used to think there was a cure but I'm starting to realise that maybe I can't fix this, maybe I need to live with it. That's not okay with me but I don't really have any other choice but to find a way to live with it instead of trying to remove it.

This is fun :) I'm smiling :)

@politeCup86 that is actually a very interesting question.

I feel like my relationship with the mirror changes depending on how I feel that day. There are some days where I will look at myself in the mirror and admire my outfit or hair or make up. But other days I can't stand looking at myself because everything looks wrong to me and I don't like the image I'm looking at. Most of the time I hate the mirror. But there are some moments where I appreciate something that I'm looking at.

Looking at the mirror comes with a feeling of unease sometimes. You just never know what thoughts my brain will come up with in that moment. I think walking past mirrors in shops is the worst though, I never seem to look right in them, I despise shop mirrors.

It's hard to describe if I feel connected to the person I see in the mirror. The short answer is no, I don't. It's like looking at someone I don't know. It's more like looking at a thing than looking at a person.

Thank you for the questions :)

I have a random question for you: if you could live anywhere in the world, where would you want to be?

okay, for your question i'm not going to choose a country bcuz i lack sense of belonging to anywhere, not even to planet earth (i think i'm an alien hahaha) but i will say to country called 7 cups, i actually dreamt about this many times, where ppl r kind and respecting, where everyone is acceptable, where no one touch anyone, where u have ur privacy, and i can just Be, and feel safe that no one is going to touch me! i'm sorry for this answer but i honestly don't wish for any place but an abusefree place smiley

@politeCup86 I can do that :)

I relate to you in a way on this. Although I have places where I would love to be, I'm not sure the whole sense of belonging thing will happen. I feel like an outsider pretty much everywhere. I can like a place but never feel like I belong there, if that makes sense.

I was lucky enough to visit New York one year and I felt so happy to be there. It was everything I dreamed of and more. I felt like that was where I wanted to be but I didn't feel like I fit in. Now I'm at uni in this huge city and it's easy for me to feel like I blend in but I still don't feel like I belong. It's like I'm here but there is no real place for me. Will I always feel out of place? Who knows

@politeCup86 aw that's sweet of you :) I try my best to write coherently.

I feel like the sense of belonging happens when you feel like you've settled down. When I think about belonging I always think of being somewhere away from this country, a nice house/apartment, a job that I enjoy, and good friends to keep me company. Maybe that's what belonging really is to me and it will take time to get there.

To me it sounds like your place of belonging is more about being surrounded by lovely people. No locations, just comfort being around people. That's great too :) We all need kind people who will treat us right and be there for us.

@politeCup86 You shouldn't be afraid of not making sense. Your thoughts make perfect sense to me so far. The reason I explain myself so much is to make it easy for others to make sense of what I'm saying. And I'm also pretty good at reading between the lines and digging deep into meaning (although sometimes I over analyse things too much and my brain goes a bit crazy)

I'm happy to hear that I made you smile :) I would love to work in the movie and TV industry. I have so many ideas and I get so passionate about them, writing them gives me great joy. So writing for tv and movies is definitely at the top of my list but I would also love to do things like directing, producing, and maybe even some small cameo roles (maybe somewhere down the line I'll have the confidence to take on bigger roles on screen but I'm just not at that point yet. Even though acting is fun)

What about you? What is it that you actually do? Do you have a job? Would you like one? What are your aspirations?

About aspirations, well i'm stuck for more than 6-7 years (i lost track) with NONE but for now let's say to have normal BMI and get mentally better, and to find my goals in this life :D

@politeCup86 that's more than okay. Many people don't know what they want to do with their lives job wise these days, it's a common struggle.

A lot of people end up doing whatever just to pay the bills or doing jobs that pay well which they hate. I have chosen the more difficult path in life, going after what I'm passionate about. I'm pretty sure a lot of people think I'm reaching too high but I don't think I could be satisfied any other way.

Being an adult seems difficult haha

@politeCup86 I feel like the people who read my stuff in class and the people I meet online are the ones who support my dreams the most. No one else really seems to do that, it's like they're expecting me to fail. Thank you for supporting my crazy :)

Life as a whole is hard lol

You shine brighter

@discreetAcres6234, you made me so happy when I've read it through your message and saw your annotation about smiling! Now I have a grin, too ^^

I understand that watching many TV shows can be regard as "obsessive" and "unhealthy", but sometimes we need to turn our brain off for a little while when the only emotion it transmits to us is pain and torment. I think it can be a really nice distraction, as long as one doesn't treat it as a mean of escaping from reality and addressing the real problems. And you know how amazed I am by your chosen studies - I believe that you will be a magnificent, productive screenwriter in the future ^^

(About Kurt - I immediately thought about Glee ^^). Btw, may I ask what was the nicest part of the last year for you?

All my love!

@Celaeno so happy to hear you smiling :) I'm smiling again

I don't have an obsession with watching things, I think it's more of a hobby and strong interest. It brings me joy. I've spent this weekend catching up on shows that I haven't been watching since they came back in fall so I'm happy about that :) I missed them so much. I'm glad you see my studies and me in such a way. I don't think my friends ever thought me I'd be good at something.

(haha someone who actually thinks of glee. I've heard the name Kurt Cobain too much. And when I explain that it's from glee they've never heard of glee)

Normally I would find this question hard to answer but last year had one very memorable, special event happen that stays up there as a highlight. I flew over to Canada to meet my best friend in person. It was a crazy, brave, and insane move but everything ended up being fine, even though I was severely freaking out before hand. I also met another person we were friends with but things ended up very badly between us and her, but now we have great stories to tell about her and we didn't let her ruin the trip for us so it's all good. We got to spend so much time together in person and it just made me love her even more. I'm so happy to have met her. Hopefully the next time we are together again will be sometime soon.

Sending you love back <3

I had depression since i was 8 maybe probably the whole 7 cup knows about it already :) and cause of death lol was abuse by my lovely mom smiley , result was obesity my whole life plus million problems on top of that, well at least i know NOW that nothing was my fault and i understand that it's not easy to be abused every single day for years and years, but it created a kind beast named polite cup blush

I rejected love my whole life and only by 7 cups i learned how to accept it back again!

You're a strong one, @politeCup86. Even if only I know the part of your story, I can imagine how much you had to overcome to learn to accept yourself again. I'm so glad that this community helped you with accepting love as an emotion once again. You deserve it, as any other human does. I'm proud how far you've come. Sending you my best hugs!

Hi @adaptableHuman6878! It's nice to meet you, lovely. Does "AHS" refer to the "American Horror Story"? Also, may I ask what's your favourite band?

Best wishes!
