Haha! Love your positivity! I'm a hot mess too and I'm loving myself just the way I am! Enjoy your new 7 cups journey!
I can't remember if I've posted here or not so hey! I joined in April this year as a listener, the community has been great so far and I've really been enjoying all the site has to offer and as well as me being able to help others I've been able to gain insight into my own shitty mental health through self help guides and courses and everyone here is so welcoming and kind!
❑ How are you doing?
I'm well today! The sun is out, so is my anxiety but I'm coping well and I'm tired as hell 
❑ What is your favorite season?
Autumn!
❑ How did you hear about 7 Cups of Tea?
I've seen it mentioned in a number of places from therapists to tumblr to happiful magazine and the blurt foundation enewsletter and eventually decided fuck it, I'm going to try it - I did try as a member a while back but didn't have a good experience with my listener and gave up quickly but I'm so glad I came back to this site because there is a lot it has to offer and I want to be here to help and share and get to know everyone.
How is everyone? Feel free to message me anytime! I hope everyone finds something today to smile about
I believe you have but that's totally okay! It's great to see you here again lol. It's awesome to hear that you are finding that being a listener is such a positive experience for you and I hope that continues.
I'm pleased you're doing well too. Yay for the sun, that's always a bonus when it chooses to come out. Although the anxiety is still there, I'm glad you are able to cope with it - hopefully you can get some sleep too.
Autumn is amazing!
We're pleased you did decide you wanted to join however, I'm sorry to hear you didn't have so much of a great experience as a memeber. All you're doing here as a listener is muchly appreciated!
I'm doing okay, thank you for asking! I hope you also, can find something to smile about today!
Take care!

hello everyone! i just joined here in april! i have struggled with depression, anxiety and ptsd since i was in the military. since then i have been diagnosed with other mental illness. i saw an ad for 7 cups and thought it was interesting so i checked it out. helping others and listening to their stories is really helping me to consider my own journey and keep my thoughts in check. it is helping me to communicate at a better level, not just with random people i come in contact with, but with my daughters and that means a lot to me. i sincerely want to learn all i can to help others and be a shining light when they feel their life is dark. thank you all so much for reading and i appreciate all the help that has been provided to me since i became a listener!

@Ottie thanks for the response. i am in a place that is very new to me so i feel very brittle and vunerable. i am worried as things were so good and easy and with a turn of events my own psychological anxiety and poor job attitude i find myself forced out like i didnt expect it.i am worried for my family and it is a tough time as i am so mad at myself as well. i had a meeting today with the union and management so im more upset then normal...i am feeling old because of it all which isnt helping...i have a hobby love of music which is somewhat saving me..its a battle to get up to play today.
Of course. I'm sorry you are feeling brittle and vunerable at the moment. I can understand how this must be challenging for you with the turn of events you have come across recently. I really hope things get easier for you and can all be worked out so soon. Music is a great hobby to have and even if only a little bit, I'm glad it is helping somewhat. I believe in you and I believe you can get through this. We wish you the very best.

@Ottiethanks ottie...i am getting along in my new work so things are feeling better today...being able to do work i havent done really for years and feeling good about it has been a boost. when i get myself moving along in a positive way for a longer time i am sure i can come back here to help others as well..i have taught adult education theatre in the past and i think the arts can be very effective in helping us motivate oursselves to see things in different ways...sometimes work can do that too. i really appreciate the listens here and the community as a whole is very helpfull
Aw yay! I'm so pleased to know you've been feeling better today, with getting along in your new work, especially after not having done this work for years. It's always good to focus on yourself first, and at this point, you are doing an incredible job and I really hope things continue to improve for you. And we're here along your journey too! I totally agree with you - arts can be a very effective way to help us become motivated to look at things from different perspectives, which can help us keep moving. Having taught adult education theatre sounds cool too. I'm glad you are liking being here as well.

Hi everyone! I just joined this afternoon and super excited to make someone's day a little brighter. I've received support from wonderful friends through my mental health struggles, so I'm looking to give something back.

Hi Everyone,
I joined just the other night. I think my main battle at the moment is loneliness due to a breakup after my longest most serious relationship. I have PTSD and have struggled with self-harm. So, those experiences are exacerbated by the feeling of loneliness right now.
