Tumblr asked me if I was ok and I realized I wasn't

So, as I'm sure many of you know, looking up "thinspo" on tumblr brings up the message that says, basically as I don't want to look to quote, Is everything ok? Then below it has the 7 cups of tea website. After visiting this page many times in the last months, it finally got to me. Making me realize nothing was ok, much less everything.

@CinnamonDolle, we're really glad you're here. Sometimes we can go through life, not really questioning anything at all, until someone (or something) asks the simple question: "Are you okay?" That's when you start thinking introspectively; Am I really okay? What am I doing?

I'm glad you took a look at yourself and found yourself here; we have a lovely community waiting to hear you out. <3

And because I used the word introspection, I thought of one of my favorite MGMT songs, so I'll just link it here.It's just about introspection, and things like that. I hope you find your home here, my friend. Please message me if you ever need anything.

So I typed 'sad' into the search barof Tumblr and this message appeared:

Everything okay?

If you or someone you know are experiencing any type of crisis, please know there are people who care about you and are here to help. Consider chatting confidentially with a volunteer trained in crisis intervention atwww.imalive.org, or anonymously with a trained active listener from7 Cups of Tea.

It might also be nice to fill your dash with inspirational and supportive posts fromTWLOHA,Half of Us, theLifeline, andLove Is Respect.

I first went to www.imalive.org but what they had wasn't what I really needed and they had a link to 7 cups of tea. I was scared to come here at first but I looked back at the screen and just clicked the link and I'm grateful I did.

Got the same message when I searched for "depressed". one thing i think is sad though is the fact that it does not come up wheyou are on your phone..

This is how I found 7 cups, too!

I'm so glad you all found 7 cups, whether it was some other way or just looking something up on tumblr. Everything happens for a reason.heartcheeky

I remember been searching for depressed posts, and this question came out "Everything is ok?" I noticed that whenever anyone asked me the same thing, my automatic response was yes, everything is fine. actually It wasn't. So I clicked the 7 cups of tea link, and here I am, feeling much better than then.

I'm glad Tumblr redirects so many people who need support and they receive it here.

@CinnamonDolle

When I was on tumblr, I first looked up "I'm falling apart" amd shared a few things then I went to search up "broken" amd tumblr brought me here, and made me realize that I was not okay. I really appreciate that tumblr does that, it helps alot ;w;

Tumblr is also how I discovered 7 cups. I was going through a rough phase and when the page "are you ok?" appeared, it just made me cry, so like you, I decide to give it a try because, well, nothing was really ok. I'm glad I did, I can help people who need it.
