@SoulfullyAButterfly I am interested in developing content for the BIPOC community, because I have many experiences that I know could help others.

Sharing the knowledge learned through personal experience is one of the most courageous thing to do. I can already see that it'd help a lot. Thank you for contributing.

@SoulfullyAButterfly

Personally I think self-esteem is a crucial part of our various lives and a lot of people are battling with esteem issues and self-worth due to their society , family backgrounds , environments and even relationships which has now become a major part of their lives without them realising it because they assume that's how they should live which is not 👎.

I would love to develop my self on 7cups and also divulge into this topic to raise the confidence and importance of people with self-esteem issues.

@SoulfullyAButterfly

I'm interested in writing about depression, anxiety, sleeping and eating disorders, since these are some of the issues I've experienced close to me.

I'd also like to write on LGBT+ issues as i think it is one of those areas that doesn't receive as much attention as it deserves. There are many such areas but if we are narrowing it down so I'd like to contribute in this one.

I like your reason for choosing the topics related to depression, anxiety, sleeping, eating disorders, and those related to lgbtq+. I can see your passion to know more about these topics.

@SoulfullyAButterfly

I am interested in developing content around sexual abuse, centered around survivor stories and how people are able to recover after their experiences. This topic is deeply personal to me, so being able to create content to help others who may be experiencing sexual abuse is an important topic.

I am also interested in developing content around Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), though I did not see that particular topic listed here. It's another personal topic for me, because I live the experience on a daily basis, and being able to support others who are living with this as part of their life experience is important to me.

I am interested in developing content related to the lgbt+.

Besides being part of the lgbtq+ community, I understand the importance of using creative content to de-stigmatise and reduce harrasement, by raising awareness about my community.

I am interested in couple of contents – Depression, anxiety, Stress, and relationships.

Since these issues we all face in our lifetimes and I have faced it too. So I believe I can provide some useful insights which I learnt in my journey.

Hi,

I am interested in the areas of coping, stress, anxiety and depression. I am a military spouse and in my life I often deal with these thoughts and it is important to up lift others who might be suffering because of the military lifestyle which includes frequent moves, PCS and deployments.

ThoughtsBubbleExpress August 1st, 2022

@SoulfullyAButterfly Still being a student, I don't have much lived experiences with many topics mentioned here though I would love to learn and educate myself more about them. The topics that interest me here are Depression, Anxiety, Phobias, Emotional Abuse, Child and Adolocent, LGBT, Coping Skills, Stress, and Self Esteem. Because I can relate to some of these I have mild anxiety, been through bullying and emotional abuse, was addicted to social media and gaming in some early teen years, faced mild stress and self esteem issues mostly being in conflict with my ideal self and true self. Phobia because I have acrophobia fear of heights, almost died a time when I tried ferris wheel for the first time, and about LGBT and Depression I've some friends with these experiences.

@ThoughtsBubbleExpress

What a wide range of topics! That's so interesting. I know, it feels like you need lived experience - I think it helps with perspective taking (having lived experience). Writing for someone who lived through what you are writing about it powerful. I would imagine there would be a difference between someone who is skilled at assimilating research. But like all things, you only know for certain when you are open enough to try. I look forward to writing about schizophrenia and other topics I'm interested in.

Thank you @admirableRose261 I hope I can write about the other topics in future as well after I've lived a little more and gained some experiences 😅 I love the topics that you chose and I'm looking forward to your works as well :)

When I moved through the articles section in the original article site of 7cups, I noticed that there were 0 articles written about sexual health.
