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!
@Heather225 There's way too many people on my list, but here's just some off bat. 🩷

@YourCaringConfidant
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! 🥹🫂💖

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! 😭💖
@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! ❤️
@YourCaringConfidant
You make everything sweeter, like a cupcake. 😊

@SolitaryBird Awwwwww, Solitary! It's because I am a 🧁! Hehe. You're way too good to me, my best 🐦y friend! Xoxo. Hope you are doing well, Solitary!
@LovelyFrog8934 Tagging you because you have always been one to encourage me to self care. And every time I've done so, you always welcome me back with loving arms. You're truly my sweetest 🐸 friend! Xoxo.

@YourCaringConfidant
What an amazing gif 💙
@Heather225
@QuietByNature makes me feel seen and supported everyday 🥰
My tip is to find something you are passionate about and spend atleast a half an hour a day doing it 💙
@Amanda84 I love your tip! Will do!

@YourCaringConfidant
💕
@Amanda84
Thank you, always here for yiu when you need comfort.
You are there for me as well. 🩵😊🤗

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.
@QuietByNature
💙
@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 :)
@MeilleureAmie
Thank you. I'm overwhelmed with all the love.

@MeilleureAmie Thank you so much, this means a lot to me 🐾💖🥰

@MeilleureAmie
Thank you my sweet friend! 😊 ❤️
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! ❤️
*high fives* 😊 and *hugs* ❤️
@MeilleureAmie I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say we feel the same way about you! I know you definitely have brought joy and laughter into my days. You're a memorable type of person and I'm happy to have come across you too! Thanks for thinking of me. You made me smile. 😀
Awwwh...it was nice to meet you too 🥹 ♥️

@MeilleureAmie
Heyy sweetest you, we don’t get to talk as often, but you still find the thought in you to mention me whenever there’s something like this and it means more to me than I can express. Times like these just (re)affirms for me that people who care, remember always a that’s literally so so special. 😭💖
Cutest “accident” ever haha, certain unexpected encounters I feel are the bestest blessings and I’m sooo glad you found 7 cups and us here. 🫂💖

Ooh and your self care tips are sooo relatable! 🥰💖

Thank you for this thread. There are several people who have made my experience and time on 7 Cups exponentially better. I will probably miss tagging a lot of them, but here’s my attempt- a token of gratitude to everyone who has been supportive of me on this journey.

I can think of so many people who have either supported me or have made being on Cups a better experience. I know I can't possibly think of every single person because there are just way too many of you. ♡♡♡♡ (in no particular order, and sorry for missing anyone)
