I joined cups through chatgpt when i was desparately seeking help one night for my worsening mental health and isolation.
Struggling with my healing journey. I was in a bad relationship with my step Mom and healing <<333
@Heather225 Found this site while trying to find free therapy sites, I'm a nervous wreck when it comes to talking to people here, and, I don't know how to get diagnosed because I might have borderline personality disorder. Sighhh
I became a listener in order to share light hope and positivity to others considering all i went through internally i felt like i needed to help others who are going through what i went through but didn't have anyone to be there for them. Everydaycommit suicide and no one really asks why . They don'tknow the amountof pain and suffering thatperson must have gone throughin order to take their own life . The saying a provlem shared is a problem half solved resonates in this online community(7 cups). So..... @Heather225

I started in 2015 as a listener as it is part of who I am as a person.
It is extremely rewarding know that I can spread some joy, empathy and comfort to people that may not be able to find it from within themselves.
I am the same person away from 7cups and found that not many people appreciated who I am and everything I do to help.
But knowing that I can come back here all the time and my efforts are appreciated, makes me feel a lot better.

I first accidentally joined 7 Cups as a listener. I wanted to create a member account because I was looking to vent but then made this mistake. I went ahead with it and took up a member chat just to see what it would be like. It was surprisingly a very successful chat and the one that got me my first positive review. It also defined my forte in listening - relationship support.
That's basically TC's birth story.
Depression, Anxiety, not having a good support system.
I have come here as a listener, and trust me, I am a good listener. I have also come to find answers to my questions. Maybe with all of your support here, my doubts will be cleared. Let’s help each other. 😊

That's awesome to hear that you're a good listener! I encourage you to make a listener account if you are interested in supporting members! You can become one here. :)

I am so stoked that I get a chance to serve others. My love language is time and to me serving meets that. I have been clean for ( years, and walked through the fire. Once clean I joined a church and got to experience what real love truly looks like. I don't think I would had made it if not for my support team. Therefore, I want to give back and help where ever I can. I am retired and currently enrolled in school for ministry to become a family counselor , I have lots of extra time and with that extra time I wanted to meaningful not wasted so here I am.
I won't go into details but it's because I fell into deep depression until the point where I knew that I needed help. Away from my parents
