@Hope
Hello! I am a fairly new listener! I want to go into therapy after schooling and this is a great place to just listen to people. I suffer from GAD and depression so I can relate to people who also have those diagnoses. I want to put some hope in people.
@Hope Hi:) I am eager to learn more about being a good listener!
hi everyone good to see you all

How can we best support you?
hi! im here because i love helping people personally, and i happen to have free time on my hands. i like to help with relationships but if anyone comes to me for help, i will not hesitate to try.
i think i just need more advice on how to help, since i am still very new to these experiences.
Hi guys!
I have joined this platform today for the first time, my intention was to become a listener to support others through their hard times based on my experience and listening skills.
If you need me you are free to chat to me
Wishing you all the best !! :)
hi ...i have been on 7 cups for a while now .
i come here when ever i am feeling anxious or dealing with any sort of problem be it academics, be it about breakups or even just feeling lonely or struggling to express myself ..this platform has helped me to open up not just to the listeners but also to go easy on myself
i have seen so much improvement after coming here and i am looking forward to getting better and someday be a listener myself ...i haven't used the platform much so i need to navigate through it
looking forward to spend more time here and connect to more people
it always helps me because i have struggled so much with expressing myself due to fear of judgement but this platform has made me so much more confident
Hello! I'm Jules.
I joined 7 Cups yesterday. The reason why is because I want a place to talk about my issues and find people who can possibly relate.
Topics I'd like to seek help for are: School stress (I'm a highschool student), social anxiety, maybe family life, and advice on healthy habits/living a healthy lifestyle.
I'd like to interact with everyone and make some friends. I think just having some support and finding people who understand will help me a lot. :) That's all I have to say, nice to meet you!
@onlyjules Yeah I joined yesterday for basically the same reason and also because I sometimes have a feeling of loneliness, family related issues, having trouble sleeping and eating so hopefully this will be helpful for me
@onlytorii
Hey Torii!
I guess we're both newbies here then. I'm glad (well, not *glad* of course) that we share similar feelings. I also feel pretty lonely these days (for example, i'm homeschooled now bcuz of covid. Rip) and also just coping with these issues alone in general can feel isolating, if u know what i mean.
Also, sorry to hear you're having troubles sleeping and eating. The past few months I've also been suffering from insomnia. I really hope you can find some solutions and encouragement to help relieve those problems!
Not gonna lie, i still feel a bit of doubt when it comes to using 7 Cups. Or any online communities. But I think as long as I'm surrounded by people trying to get better and supporting one another, that's enough 'motivation' for me rn.
I appreciate your reply and I hope we can learn some helpful things here and receive the support we wish. Sending warm greetings!
Hi, my name is Tom. I signed up a few weeks ago and began looking at the self-help. I have not done very much since. I have had therapists tell me in recent months that I need to stop isolating and reach out to others. While it is difficult, I hope to break out of my shell. I have had issues sleeping most of my life. A recent MRI and sleep study showed very minor issues that are not enough to have sleep deprivation. I meditate regularly, which can help, but it does not seem like enough. Hopefully becoming more social will help. I also hope my experiences will be able to help others.
