I came here as a listener because I could see the world was becoming an increasingly darker, more self centered , lonelier world and I wanted to try and bring some light, some kindness and sine company, one person at a time 🩵🤗🩷

Thank you 🩵🤗
I came as a listener because I wanted to help people, even though I need to stay home to be a caregiver for my aging parent. 7cups helps me more than I expected with the connections I make here.
@Heather225 I had a surprisingly deep talk with a situational friend, and I said that I need a therapy for my fear of judgement and inability to connect. She said that free online therapy exists, and I googled it amd find this website. I'm new here, and currently trying this website. I hope its good
@threnelle Welcome to 7 cups! I hope you get the support you need and make some new friends 🧡
@crystaldawn76 ty!^^ i hope the same for you too
Did u find any free therapy resources beside listeners 💗?
I have C-PTSD from being sexually abused when I was a little boy. It happened several times, by a doctor who used torture on me.
My dad was emotionally and verbally abusive during my first 20-plus years of life, as well.
I'm so sorry. People can be so immature sometimes. How are you?
@thoughtfulNectarine5695
I'm doing better. I've been in therapy for years.
@WharfRat I'm so sorry. Sending love 💕

I came to 7 Cups 7 yrs ago. I needed someone to talk to and knew it would take forever to get into mental health. One night I searched online and found this wonderful place. I met many kind people but two men especially, quickly became dear friends to me. They helped me through one of the most difficult times in my life. My marriage was dissolving and I was falling apart at the seams. They were the hands that helped me pick up all my pieces and sew myself back together.
I wasn't able to become a listener right away, but I always knew once I was stronger, that I wanted to give back all the love and support that they had shown to me to someone else in need. So here I am.
You know who you are! Thank you my friends for everything ❤️ Hugz
@Heather225 I found the website thanks to recommendation from a YouTuber during pandemic times.
@Heather225
I came here because I was broken, alone and had several issues:
Panic attacks, social anxiety, (these still exist in real life)
I feel i can be myself here and have found support in a listener who truely gets me.
Somone close to me told me I should seek therapy for my anxiety, and trauma that led to trust issues and other things. My parents are weird about therapy and this seemed like the best place for me to go. Im new here but everyone Ive talked to has been kind and compassionate. I hope Cups can help me be the person I used to be who was fearless and bright and confident. I have a lot of faith from what Ive experienced so far on the platform. I am so glad I found a safe place to heal. And im so blessed that my rock person irl supports my journey here and pushed me to get the help I need. ❤️
@Heather225
I needed a place to process things between therapy sessions. I was spinning a lot and my friends were asleep late at night, so I came her for chats to help me work through it all.
