Benefits of reaching out
I learned a number of coping skills since I joined 7cups. One of them is dealing well with panic attacks, they hardly happen anymore and that's a big relief and accomplishment for me.

I managed to get a little better at accepting self compassion.
@Zeraphim Thats great, how are you doing it? 🌸
I check in with myself, if I'm noticing I'm struggling. I notice suffering, and I normalize it ("it's okay, we'll get through this. We're not alone in our suffering."). Then I offer as kind of words as I can find believable to myself. Or I formulate them for someone else going through the same and try to listen to those words and see how they feel. I also put my hand on my chest to feel warm physical contact.
@Zeraphim I like checking in with myself to keep an eye on what is happening. Good to hear I am not alone in that regard.
I love all your methods here. 🌱✨💕

- What have you been able to achieve or accomplish since you joined this site?
Not a coping mechanism but I was going through a slump recently but reaching out and connecting with others here made me enjoy it and have fun. I've become more productive these days. 😊
@ThoughtsBubbleExpress yaaaay! That's awsome ❤❤ well done ❤
@Tinywhisper11 Thanks Whisper ✨
@amiablePeace77 the biggest lessons I've learnt on this site, is to listen more, and how much a little empathy means to people, also learnt that everyone loves a good laugh, so my humour generally goes down well 😁
@Tinywhisper11 #Relate 🌟 A tiny word of comfort does mean a lot when we are overwhelmed with big feelings, most of us weren't taught how to deal with life, disappointment, emotions, and big feelings, that's why, even a tiny chance to express emotions means a lot where most of us are forced to hide our authentic selves and conceal our emotions.
@ThoughtsBubbleExpress ❤❤❤

What have you even able to achieve or accomplish plush since joining this site?
I’ve become a totally different person since joining 7cups. I’ve developed a greater understanding of myself, learned may coping skills, and have been working on the parts of myself that are still affected by past trauma.
Really feel like being part of this community is helpful!!
@yzzil
We are glad to have you here yzzil! Dealing with trauma alone is rough, so glad you reached out.
@yzzil it is always a joy to see your post.
How are things with you?
@soulsings. Thanks. I feel the same about you lol.
Things here are pretty good. Some weeks I work 6-7 hours. This week it’s busy. 11 1/2 hours. 😲. My first week so full. I know things will be fine, but there is always the little nervousness. I think this kind of nervousness, for me, is good. Keeps me on my toes. 😆
How are things with you?
@yzzil glad you are doing fulfilling work. I hear you, a little bit of nervousness keeps me awake. lol
