by MonBon
Last post
 20 minutes ago
...See more We often time come to 7 cups in search of something: -Someone who understands -Someone to talk to -Someone who will listen -Someone to keep us company Many of us find that - which is awesome! However, there may come a time when as a member, you are ready to leave. And that is okay. It doesn't have to be forever or even an awfully long time. Maybe you are leaving to go out to eat with friends for the first time in weeks or months. Let us know so we can send you off with warm regards!

NAMI Oath
by Kate
Last post
 February 13th
...See more Any new member of the NAMI Community who introduces themselves and takes the NAMI Oath will receive the NAMI Oath Badge. Please copy, paste, sign and date the following NAMI Oath within this thread: NAMI Oath I pledge a moral oath before my fellow active listeners, 7 Cups members and NAMI supporters. I pledge to help support NAMI's mission and to dedicate myself to building better lives for anyone affected by mental illness. I pledge to always try my best to be a positive influence and make a difference in the lives of others. I pledge to be #stigmafree and respectful of anyone who may be experiencing a mental health challenge. I will educate, advocate and listen to others' experiences without judgment or bias. I will encourage acceptance and understanding. When I see that someone needs more than the peer support I can provide, I will refer them to professional help and appropriate resources. I pledge to make my own self-care a priority and recognize when I need to take extra time to take care of my own mental health. I will keep these promises and I will do everything in my power to promote mental health, healing, and wellness within myself, my fellow members and my world. I believe that no one should face mental illness alone and I pledge to provide peer support to anyone who reaches out to the NAMI Community for help. Signed: Date:

...See more Hey people! Recently I saw many posts that are written in dark colors, without having an light background. Or light words, without dark background. This usually wouldn't be a problem but it would be hard to read when you're on dark theme. It's usually like this: one two three, testing. or like this: one two three, testing. So~~, don't forget to set the suitable background, please! I believe this would be much easier to read: one two three, testing. or like this: one two three, testing. or, you could easily use default text & background colorāœ“

"Words of Wisdom" for a very unmotivated teen
by DancingSongbird579
Last post
 6 hours ago
...See more I have a teen who... ... doesn't want to study. ... doesn't want to exercise. ... doesn't want to do much of anything except play video games. ... doesn't seem to care about any of it. I am not looking for words of wisdom for me, I'm looking for words of wisdom to pass along to my teen. Teen doesn't want to listen to me say anything at all, so.... what witty (or wise) words of wisdom would you share with a very unmotivated teen? Another way to look at it: If you were once a teen, what would you tell your teenage self to help yourself get through the doldrums of high school life? If you are now a teen: What words of wisdom do you actually find helpful??? šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜Ā THANK YOU!!!Ā šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜

I'm rarely angry, because everytime I'm angry I feel sad then I will cry.

...See more I grew up in a family where my dad was always arguing with my mom, my older sister was grumpy too. I didn't know since when I'm like this, I become a quiet person that don't talk a lot and really hate to argue. It's hard for me to express my emotion. When my sis/dad said something that made me feel anger, I ignored them , I stayed quiet. šŸ¤ Because I know if I talk a lot, they'll just continue to yell at me.
