7C has helped me get out of my own head and focus on helping others to heal rather than obsessing over my own worries. It also has helped restore my compassion for work several times when I was experiencing compassion fatigue. The fact that money isn't very relevant to 7C seems to give me a better, more unfiltered view of who people really are than I see at work, so it restores some of my faith in humanity.
Joining 7 cups has taught me a lot, with all the horrible stuff going on in the world every day it's so refreshing to see a community really wanting to take care of each other. Share each other's burdens and help people to improve their lives. 7 cups has taught me to be a kinder more understanding person because everyone has their own issues to make it through.
Joining 7 cups helped me a lot with my depression, i needed someone to talk to and this was perfect, i want to be there for others as a listener
Posting again :)

Here you go!
thanks Sam!
No Problem Laura! Anything for you and community!
I have only been a member for a little while, but 7 cups has already helped so much. The listeners are so amazing, and I already feel like some of my personal issues have gotten better. I have receieved great advice and tips, and they have helped so far. I will continue to reach out when I need to. 7 cups has taught me that its okay to need help and that it doesnt have to come from friends and family, but from someone that just wants to listen and help people with any issue they have, big or small. I am so glad I was told about this app.
Joined about a month ago, 7cups has allowed me to learned about myself while listening to people. Makes me a better listener, be empathic, supportive, and able to help those that need help.
I joined 7cups in search of help and I got more help , friendship and love than I could have imagined <3 When I am old enough I wish to give this love back with interest by becoming a listener <3 Thank you for helping me to become a better more understanding person !!
Over the past year I've had my ups and downs and to be honest it's mostly been ups for me, but it has been filled with stress to get to those "ups". People looking at my life may say I'm incredibly blessed, but this whole time I've been struggling hard with my anxiety. I have great grades but I've almost gotten kicked out of university three times for almost missing deadlines. I only feel like I get good grades because I worry about them so much. I have struggled with family issues over the years as well.
Well, After discovering 7cups, I discovered something else. I don't actually need to worry to remember things and I can do it without the paralyzing fear and anxiety. When I say I need those feelings that's just the anxiety talking, and that's the problem that I came here to fix. I still have a lot to work on, and I'm far from where I want to be, but that doesn't matter. Every day on here is a better day, and healing takes time. It's not a contest, I'll get better when I get better, and that's ok.
Earlier this year I went through a big relapse in my mental health, and started seeing a new therapist. She actually suggested 7 cups to me. I was a member for a while and one of my listeners encouraged me to become a listener.
Since becoming a listener this month I have talked with over 150 individuals, participated in 30 group chats, and earned 60 badges. I am proud of myself for starting this journey, and looking forward to continuing.
