It's great that you use this site. It helps with healthier coping mechanisms. And you get to talk to someone who can really relate to you.
I feel it is important to look all around for feedback and not just rely on one method. Human connection works. Meet a friend for coffee, make a phone call...explore all options.
If this site helps you through whatever you’re going through then I promise you it’s perfectly fine.

I think it's a great way to talk through your emotions and thoughts. If this is where you feel comfortable and supported to do so, so that you fell better and more confident, then it's fine. Ideally you'd also confide in a friend, family member / colleague, but this is not always possible for many reasons. The main thing is that you're getting help when you need it.
I think that when we feel down, we need to look for love and support. If you find it here, it is totally ok. I think this is the reason why this site exist. help each other.
It's good to come to 7 Cups for support but it's just as great to gather personal strength as a backbone to end whatever distresses one may face.

it's absolutely ok to depend on this site when you feel down. We all need some kind of emotional support when we're going through something difficult and 7cups provide that. I would recommend anyone who feel sad or need some emotional support during a a stressful time should take advantage of 7cups to help them get through it.

Totally okay. You need somebody to talk to when you feel down even if the person is far away. It's totally okay.
yes definitely listening helps people when they feel down this is the place where they can openly talk and express their feelings their problems and a listener to listen actively compassionately
Well, all humans are social creatures, we all need someone to talk to. Having someone to discuss problems, whether that be in the group chats, in therapy, or in listener chats. It is a great tool to use when you're feeling upset, and you should always use us if you're ever feeling down. If I am being honest, truly you are the one to heal yourself, this site cannot magically heal you, but we are always here to lend a helping hand!! We're always here!!! :)

Not really, because you have to possess the ability of understanding situations on your own and finding a solution for them because you don't have someone to help you all the time
Absolutely! Listeners are on here for a reason: to be here for people who need to talk it out. This is a really great and loving community and we're always here to give an ear.
While this site is a wonderful resource and a great place to go for help or a listening ear, you should also learn ways of coping on your own over time. If you feel you are relying too heavily on this site, finding a therapist may be an excellent option for you. They will be able to teach you new ways of coping when you feel down. You don't want to feel like you are completely reliant on this website. That being said, don't feel like you can't come here, as well! Keeping a balance between seeing a therapist and visiting 7 Cups is a great thing! It's good that you are reaching out to others for help rather than isolating yourself! Chin up! :)

well.. its better to talk with someone that you trust or really close to, who can actually help but if you can't tell them about the problems or stress you having i would recommend to come here cause at least there are most listener whose willing to help you
It is ok to do anything that you feel will help you feel better. No matter what that is. You are choosing to come here for help, and that is awesome.
I believe its ok. This site helps. Talking to people and letting this out, it helps. But having other things to help you when you are down also help.

While it is helpful, it can not always be the most reliable thing. Depending on what is the issue, it may be better to seek professional help.

It depends on what always means. It's perfectly fine to come to this site when you need to vent, but it might be good to come up with some other options as well. What if you don't have internet or can't access the site? So yes, this is a helpful resource, but you might want to think about developing some other coping strategies as well.
Of course! Turning to a proffessionl all the time isn’t a bad thing. It makes you brave for telling someone you don’t know about your struggles.
7 cups is a great site to simply put your feelings out there when you feel overwhelmed. Its non judgemental and can point you in some helpful directions.
But its important to remember that at some point we all need to depend on ourselves to make us feel better, otherwise we learn that only other people make us feel better when we are down. Its important to develop that self-love and worth which is where this site can come in. But at the end of the day, you are the expert in you; so you are the best person to depend on when you feel down! 7 cups can simply help you along the way.

I think that it is okay to find comfort and support in this site when someone is feeling down, however, it is also important to reach out to friends and family.

Yes, if it helps. Then stick with it, it will help you get better. Then you could possibly help others who feel the way you do, you just have to figure stuff out. Some stuff is to big to handle on you’re own, and you talk to people who knows what your going through. And how it feels to walk down that path. Stay with the stuff that helps you, and know that you’ll get better soon.

Thats alright, we all need to vent to someone and if you feel good here then thats okay! After all we are here to help others, so you should free to come here whenever you need or feel like it. Have a great day!
Yes. I always find myself seeking an outlet when I feel down or anxious, or I'm experiencing pronounced challenges. So, having a reliable, dependable support system, such as this site, that I can repeatedly access to reboot/rebound my mind and emotions is beyond beneficial to me.

no, make sure you have other support systems outside of online resources. sometimes its more effective in other methods
I think it's a good thing to have a place to go to when you're down. Whether if it's friends, family or 7cups. At last it is important you feel better :)
It's always good to have a place to retreat to when you feel down but in the long run, it's better to seek reassurance and help from other sources such as friends, family, counselors, etc. This site can only help so much, and when you feel like it's no longer truly doing its job and your sadness has developed into something greater, you should begin looking into other sources for help. We try out best to help and offer kind words, but being users on a website limits our abilities to help beyond our restraint.
Yes of course. We are all here to support you and empathize with you. Its always okay to need to talk to someone.
Yes you may depend on this site when you're feeling down, talking about your problems with a listener, can help alleviate your mood!
Yes for sure. We are like your energy boosters. Dear, every struggles in this world definitely will bring a light to your life. But sometimes, we just don't know from where/ how the directs us. That's what make us sad. So, if you're undergoing any hard times. Don't hesitate to chat with us.
