Welcome to 7 Cups! Introduce yourself here!!

@Heather225

Hello, my name is SafeSpaceDaily, and I am so happy to be a part of 7cups! I became a listener because I am required to do it for one of my college courses, but I've never heard of this website prior to taking the class. One of my goals for being a listener is to learn how to actively listen without trying to give advice right away. I also want to get better at providing empathy to others. 

@Heather225 is this where I type out an intro? I am here only but 20 minutes or so now. I found this site in a search for drug addiction chat. I am an active user on and off for 23 years now and I am currently faced with real life consequences if I don't stop. The issue, of course, is I am having a hard time stopping and so I thought I would hop in here and hopefully connect with others who have stopped or are still struggling like myself. I just need someone to talk with. I need some support. 

@Heather225 Hi, I'm a young mom who struggles with anxiety, depression, and some other mental health issues. I sought out this community to supplement some of the support I have received from a therapist. I have two daughters who are three and under and recently discovered we are expecting again and I decided I wanted to be proactive about seeking help and making small changes to my internal narrative so that I get better at giving myself some grace. It's already been very helpful to chat with some other female listeners here and to think about concrete strategies I can use in my day to day life. 

Welcome @teddy198 !

Hello all,

I came here because my mother passed away a little over a week ago. On Friday. She was in a car accident, probably drunk and my baby sister was in the car. I’m having a very difficult time dealing with all this and trying to be a good student. My sister got out of the hospital today at least.

But I wanted somewhere to get grief support especially, and I had just signed up for 7cups already. So thank you all.

Hello. Brand new to this. What brought me here is my severe lack of friends family or support whatsoever. I feel like I just need one good genuine person that I can truly trust, talk to, and feel safe with. I hope to find that in some form or another here, because people do not care about me in real life.

A lovely member helped with this it’s not a straight line recovery or beating or change ….

it’s like climbing a mountain lots of ups and sometimes some big steps and the odd section of flat or even down, but whatever don’t fall off.

@Heather225 Hello everyone. My name is Tabitha and I am a pre-med student and I run two small businesses. One is a used clothing website & the other is an agricultural business I am planning on planting 125,000 Thai Basil seeds this month. I just rented a big house with my oldest daughter and unfortunately I suffer from a mental illness. I have schizophrenia and major depression I also suffer from C-PTSD from domestic violence in my past and I suffer from Chronic Anxiety that is hereditary. I am currently meditated & looking at my options for therapy services. I am dealing with a toxic family dynamic as my children suffer from Parental Alienation syndrome and they do not speak with me because of this & it breaks my heart. For the year of 2026 I have already broken the cycle of homelessness that I suffered from and I have rented a large 3bd house that I currently live in and that makes me really happy! I use 7 cups as emotional support regarding my cogitation health and I really enjoy it. I am also looking for others who also need that type of support so we can support each other. Thanks for reading my input. I wish you all well.
