Content areas I'm interested in
I would like to write about CBT, Coping Skills, Emotional Abuse, and Schizophrenia. There is a need for these subjects to be written about from the perspective of a person with lived experience that is able to research and present the topic from a fresh angle. I notice that Schizophrenia isn't really written about. I'd be happy to work with the content team to develop topic ideas!
@admirableRose261
It takes courage to share challenging experiences and I admire you for doing that. Your light translates to the content you write and I look forward to reading your work in the future! :)
Depression, anxiety, emotional abuse, family, relationships, grief and loss, self-esteem, and CBT are topics I feel confident to create content about. I don’t see myself as an expert, but I’ve lived the experiences on these topics enough to know both sides. Also, I am confident in my writing skills enough to hope to be able to get through as many varied audiences as I can.
@CosmicMiracle
Wow, these are a lot of topics! It's awesome to see that you're interested and confident in creating content on a variety of topics. Go you!
@SoulfullyAButterfly
I am interested in creating content related to topics like depression and anxiety (anxiety disorders and coping with them). This is because I am struggling with them too. I would be able to learn new things about them and help someone too.
@justFarheen
Seems like good topics that you can find a lot on and those are for sure good motivations. I hope you find the answers you need!
@SoulfullyAButterfly
mention which area you are interested in developing content for and why.
I would like to talk about social anxiety because it affected me a lot until not too long ago so I might have some tips to add or something personal to add.
Types of eating disorder because I strongly suffer from a not known type right now and the majority of ed suffering people suffer not from anorexia or bulimia but others that are not known
Autism spectrum but high functioning that is called Asperger and I think is not well known here on 7 cups but I got almost diagnosed and I believe autism is not understood enough even less Asperger
@Ginevra962
It is amazing how you would be able to guide so many people with your experience in not so talked about topics!
@SoulfullyAButterfly
I'm interested in writing about anxiety, depression, sleeping disorders and
eating disorders, as I've experienced those issues myself.
@Ninziesss
Your personal experience with the topics you’re focusing on makes your content authentic and even more compassionate because you’ll be able to connect with the audience. I look forward to the content you will create!
@Ninziesss I appreciate writing about what you've experienced cause you can express how you've felt so readers can feel supportive
@SoulfullyAButterfly I am interested in Depression, since i have self experience with it 💜
@jasmineishereforu
Depression is a common topic for others, but each person's experience makes it different. When personal experience melts with words, the output it brings on people will be awesome. Best wishes for churning out that magic, with the help of 7 cups.
@sweetchildbsk I have experience with MDD, and yes i completely agree everyone has their own story 💜
@SoulfullyAButterfly
I am a disabled guy, thus it makes me eligible to write content on disability, but it also made me to personally undergo various forms of depression, stress, emotional abuse, anxiety, chronic pain, chronic illness and many more. I don’t think I can restrict myself to one topic, if given opportunity I would write about other topics too.

❤️ Thank you for this post! I am interested in developing content about depression, anxiety, stress, self-esteem and coping. I am interested in writing about coping because I want to help others to feel better, and learning about tips and coping mechanisms can be very useful for them during their journey. I'd like to write about depression, anxiety and/or stress because I currently am going through those three battles, and I would love to spread awareness and support to help others that also are struggling. Lastly, I want to write about self-esteem because I deal with self-esteem issues and I want to help people that go through that as well. ❤️
@SoulfullyAButterfly
I'm interested in creating content for "self-esteem" because I've had personal experience with it. Without realising it, low self-esteem has had a significant impact on my personal satisfaction and limited my opportunities, such as making friends and applying for jobs. That is why I want to focus on self-esteem, to help others in a similar situation to mine gradually rebuild their self-esteem over time.
@Ayamii
I really relate to what you are saying about how deeply your self-esteem issues have impacted you in many aspects of your life. I'm impressed that you found one area to focus on, and feel so strongly about.
@Ayamii I like how you have one focus and want to put all of your efforts into it. It's really admirable.
