Welcome to 7 Cups! Introduce yourself here!!

Hi everyone! I'm new here and just checking out the page, I'm excited to meet you all! 🖤

Hiii @Heather225

Im SillyDinosaur, I just joined April 8th. I came here because I’m struggling a bit with my mental health. I would’ve asked my mom for help but she’s dealing with her own stuff right now and I didn’t wanna pile more trouble on her. So we found 7cups! Although I’ve only been here for a couple days it’s already helping me. The short stories that are written for our daily tasks thingy really help me see life at a different perspective which I am very thankful for. I hope to find more help with what I’m dealing with so that I can better myself. My goals for being in this lovely community are helping myself first so I can find other people with similar struggles as me and many others so that I can help them as well! :)

I've joined as a Listener because one of the few useful byproducts of trauma is a highly developed sense of empathy. There is an over abundance of suffering in the world, so I think any steps taken to counter that are good steps. I know I'd want someone real to care when I was at my lowest, as such I decided to provide that to others in any way I can.

@Heather225 heyyy everyone!! i'm guitarGirl78 (was the best user I could come up with haha and im i do play guitar soo 🤷‍♀️), *** you can call me gitty? i'm on here because of trauma *** and i guess i need somewhere where i can just talk without having to worry about what people think of me.. anyway, hope you're having a good day! (:

Welcome all

Hi everyone! I have joined 7cups recently as a listener after my boyfriend showed me his profile and told me all about the great experiences he’s had on here! I am a student in Psychology and Criminology and I hope to enter the mental health field after I finish my schooling, and I have a passion for mental health services as I believe that everyone deserves to live at their full potential and have the skills and tools made available to them to do so. The human connection is a very powerful thing, which therapy, community groups, and listening all provide. Overall I hope to make a difference in people’s lives!

I also enjoy writing, art, music, reading, and love dogs and cats! I’m very much new to 7cups so it’s nice to be able to feel welcome in the community <3

@Heather225 I came to get knowledge and support when I completed my course of therapy so I could keep on the path I found and hopefully strengthen it

Hello everyone
I'm Stella and I'm a newbie
A few days ago I had a friend draw revenge porn on someone I hated when we broke up last year and it ended badly and I deeply regret it
I hope I will become a better person and will actively do better from now on
I'm here to remedy that, it was recommended by my therapist

I'm willing to become a better person, as I've hurt so many close friends with my evil act. I will never do something like this ever again.

The hardest thing to do is to reach out and ask for help, becoming a member of this community is making that first step and knowing that you are not alone. And by joining as a listener you are giving of your time and experience to make sure that someone doesn't have to go through their worst time alone, and they can share in a safe, non judgemental, open and genuine, compassionate space that seven cups provides 🥰💜
