May Challenge 1: The "You Are Not Alone" Chain ⛓💚

7 Cups is established on the foundation of people helping people. This community exists because you choose to log in, listen, and support each other. We navigate the hard days better when we don't do it alone.

To kick off Mental Health Awareness Month, let's highlight the connections that make a real difference and the practical habits we rely on.

Here is how to join the chain:

  • Tag someone who has supported you, listened without judgment, or simply made your time on 7 Cups better.
  • Share one practical self-care tip you actually use on a tough day.
  • Keep it going! If you get tagged, it's your turn to reply, tag more people, and share your tip!

Don't wait to be tagged! You can jump in and start a brand-new branch of the chain!



➡️ Looking for more ways to get involved? This is just our first challenge! Check out the May Event Masterpost (linked here) to discover other ways to share your voice this month and learn how you can earn the MH Awareness Month badge!

Crying happy tears wasn’t on my Monday to-do list but here we are, and gratefully! 🥰😭💖

ThankYOU for being ever so bright and beautiful, Desiree, your presence truly makes alotttt of difference for me personally, and I’m simply happy to be thought-of by someone like you! 🥹🫂💖

image_1777900119.png


Ahhh and upon uploading at times graphics can look a lil blurryyy, i usually feel it looks blurry to me because of the water-falling from my eyes clouding my view but whateverrrrr! 😭💖


1 reply

@Sunisshiningandsoareyou I guess sorta like what's happening to me. Like what ever is this wet liquid falling from my eyes and off my face onto my phone screen??? 😪😪🥹🥹

Please 🌞 go somewhere! Anywhere else in forumland except my post because I'm not in the mood to be crying like this. My chemical imbalances are showing because why are these tears not stopping? Why did you just have to go straight into my heart this early on a Monday? 🌞 Sun, whhhhhyyyyyy? Why must you be you? Why must you be so sweet and loving? Can these tears stop? 

*wipes tears and my booger snot with my shirt* 😂🤣 No, I'm being serious here too. I'm way too emotional right now. In my own world, song on repeat playing for the 100th time this morning, and just browsing then I see this. Just great. 

Ok you already know how I feel about you. I'm so glad the graphic was clear enough for y'all to see and spot your names. It was definitely blurry on my end I was like no point in tagging. But it truly makes me happy knowing y'all found your way to this post even without an actual tag. So glad everyone spotted it. And 🌞, best believe I have that graphic saved. Tysm for that 🎁, brightest of all. Ty! ❤️

Share one practical self-care tip you actually use on a tough day.

There are two:

one is I try to go for a walk to clear my head.

Two if I can't get my walk in, I will reach out to @Amanda84, she is my rock when I find myself in a hole.

@DefinitelyNotAltered Thank you :)

And the thing I use is just reminding myself that it’s a hard day. It makes it feel a bit better acknowledging that it isn’t my normal, it’s just on one end of the spectrum of all days.

@Heather225 @fairyava @YourCaringConfidant @Amanda84 @Sunisshiningsoareyou @KindleMissie @trueconfidant123 @SparkyGizmo @SafeEmbrace @BlueDarkAurora @Fatimaishere @SweetSoul771 @AiluraTheCat @whimsyLeaf7957 @curiousbookishness @curiousSloth @peachThinker662 @chillmoon @nzz612  @jesusredeemedme2425 @fossilfellow @TinyWhisper11

It was just another app when I started using it. But the fact that I got to meet you guys later changed everything. That’s what’s made this app a different place now.. a beautiful one, too. You all made my time here way, way better and sooo much fun 🤍🥹

It’s your kindness, it's the way you show up for others, it's your humor some days.. that brings a different light to this community, and to my days as well <3

Will forever be grateful for accidentally finding Cups, and knowing you guys 💗

Now jumping to the what helps me part (sounds so abrupt xD) most of the time it's taking a walk, listening to my favorite poems, or journaling :)

I'm so very grateful that you found your way here to us! ❤️ We too, are all better people for your presence with us! Lots of little things add up to very big things when we have the collective spirit. Saying kind things to others, being supportive, providing help and resources, being a soft spot to land or simply upvoting (compassion hearting) the comments of each other. 


Thank you for being a part of the team! ❤️
