Hi Everyone!

As some of you may have noticed, there is a new group support chat room in town. Werecently opened our Startup Support GroupRoom!

Not sure what a startup is?? Take a look at this article!It clearly explains what it means to be part of a startup :)

Ultimately, we'd like to have group rooms for every topic or verticalthat is interesting or important to our community members.We will also beopening an Anxiety room this week so stay tuned for more information on that!

The startup support roomis meant to highlight ournew startup support page!Similar to other group support chat rooms, this will be a space for those who need support related to a specific topic (startup issues & concerns) can come and find support. If this topic applies to you, feel free to join in the chat.

We will be working to create a special space for these users to find support.

You can also join the conversation in thestartup support forum!

Those conversations are hard but it's great you want to let your parents know & make them part of your circle of trust. Sometimes it helps to tell them a little at a time, starting with stuff they'd be more likely to understand and go from there

Hi there! I have BPD myself. Are you afraid that there reaction to you possibly being BPD won't be a supportive one? Try to find a way to discuss it with them. It is a serious matter and they should take it seriously. Best of luck :)

So what exactly is the Startup Room's purpose? The link explains what a startup is, but nothing pertaining to how it affects 7 Cups! I am eager to find out, ^^

Thanks for this new chatroomabout startup. And I love the idea of an anxiety chatroom! I would also like to have a self-harm help chatroom, since I think is a very important issue

Hey that doesnot make you pathetic! It is amazing that you are still here and that you still want to do it, so that means that you haven't given up on yourself! I know that some day you will find the courage to do so I honestly believe in you and I hope that you find an amazing listener! Good luck with everything, I know you can make it. Sending out my biggest supportheart
