Hi, Im new and I just joined today. I honestly do not know how to start up conversations. I have been suffering with depression and anxiety. Depression is the one that likes to put a toll on me the most. Been self-harming recently too, so I finally decided to join. Hope I didnt bother anyone with this.
@Procrastinating Welcome to 7Cups! You are not a bother at all; I'm so proud that you are making the effort to get better.
I understand that starting conversations especially with strangers is scary. We do have group support chatrooms if you feel more comfortable in a group setting. You can also connect with a listener here and filter by topic, language, etc. https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/
I would be more than happy to speak with you one on one, but I am unfortunately not an adult teen listener (adult listeners authorized to speak with members/guests under 18). I wish you the best, and please feel free to reach out!
Hi i'm new, i haven't found out how to connect with people who need help yet.
I went trough really rough times and want to give something back to people that go trough similar stuff
@insightfulMagic21 Hi there, welcome to the community! We're delighted to have you on the listener team. You can always take chats from general requests (the bar at the bottom of the screen if you are on a computer). The forums are also a great way to connect with members as well!
Hi! I wrote that I'm here for anxiety, though I do have tons of things that are bothering me....that cummulate into anxiety, haha. I'm wondering about my sexuality, how to make friends in a new place(just moved across the country six months ago), worried that I'm not "normal"...so, overall, it is anxiety. Sometimes it turns into depression, which I hope does not happen! I hope this site is the first stepping stone for me.

Hi, I just joined up to get myself talking to people again. I let my anxiety get in the way of simple things like chatting online and I'm hoping I can force myself out of my comfort zone. Nice to meet everyone.
@Shie00
Hello! Nice to meet you too. That's similar to why I joined, I'm looking for people who can relate to anxiety and depression, who understand cause they've been there.
@Elenapeace22
I hope this works out for the both of us! 
@Shie00 I'm new this month, been here two weeks now starting as an Intern.

Hello, this is my first forum post on a site like this. I've been stressed with graduation coming up and trying to get into grad school. I've generally been questioning what do I want to do in life. I want to do things but I have the hardest time commuting to them. I'm also just starting to question my sexuality and it's terribly confusing. That's why I'm trying this out. I hope everything goes well.
@SparklySparkle Woah, that sounds like a lot on your plate right now, and I'm so happy that you're here :D we're here for you, friend
@SparklySparkle I've been through all of those things myself. I'd be happy to talk with you about any of it if you ever want.
Hey, Im New Here. My First Time Trying To Reach Out And Talk To Someone About What Goes On Inside My Head And In My Life. I Was Suicidal And Still Depressed And Stressed. Just Trying To Get Help And Seek A Friend Who Can Relate.
@SemiLiving01 You've come to a great place for support. I hope you find yourself comfy here!
@SemiLiving01
Hi! Hope you get what you were hoping for... I'm new too. Nice to meet you!
@SemiLiving01I think you'll find that a lot of people can relate. We're here for you.
New members coming in droves. What an indictment of our society.
