ADHD is a content focus area that rhythms with my values and interests. As I have been suffering from attention deficit regularly in my life, and as I managed to find ways to get myself out of the distration and in the focus, I thought I would love to share what I learned so far; things I didn't find on top articles when you google ADHD treatment or coping with ADHD.
@MarwaneB I think it is beautiful that you want to contribute something based on your own experience and help others through it :)
@SoulfullyAButterfly Thank you for supporting such a wide range of topics and I'm sure our members find these helpful as well. I'm open to writing articles on all of these topics to learn more and expand my knowledge base. The topics that interest me the most here are Depression, Agoraphobia, Anxiety, Loneliness, Emotional abuse, Family, Child and Adolescent, Maternal, Coping Skills, Stress, Relationships, and Self-Esteem. The topics I’ve chosen are all very important and relevant, especially in the context of mental health since and I chose a few of them after experiencing these situations through people around me. Each one presents an opportunity to delve into different aspects of human experience and provide valuable insights and support to readers.
@ThoughtsBubbleExpress
Looking forward to reading different perspectives about those topics. 💚
@sky2Ocean20 Thank you, I'll be looking forward to your works in future too 😊
@SoulfullyAButterfly
My areas of interest include mindfulness, sleeping disorders, stress, relationships, grief and loss, and self-esteem. In the future, I could also imagine contributing to topics like CBT, depression, anxiety, phobias, and coping skills, thanks to the research I conducted during my degree.
@SoulfullyAButterfly
I'm very interested in stress problems, because I think in todays society everyone is having some sort of stress, and if we don't know how to manage it, serious problems may arise. Also, CTB is very interesting to me, so I think writing about CTB techniques for stress management would be my favorite.
@lamimoon
So true. Everyone goes through stress in this day and age and the knowledge of how to deal with it is very crucial. Smart choice:)
@SoulfullyAButterfly
hiii! A lot of these topics really interest me, specifically adhd, and abuse, specifically in adolescence? Im a teen so my article will focus on that. Would it be okay to maybe instead of focusing on a specific kind of abuse, focus on all abuse for a specific group of people?
@Bunnylovesyou yes but make sure to include tips about how to respond and how to cope with the after effects
@walkalot
of course! ❤️
@SoulfullyAButterfly
I'd love to explore so many topics from these but on top would be anxiety and relationships because I myself went through them and I'd love to guide others in the right direction
I think Chronic Pain is a topic I feel I would write about, and how to cope with it. But there are so many topics and it would be nice to write about each one.
@SoulfullyAButterfly
mention which area you are interested in developing content for and why
-relationship with sleep and mental health
- emotional abuse
-Family
-Child and Adolescents
- Coping Skills
-Stress
-relationships
-self esteem
-CBT
-BIPOC
Above mentioned major topics are my areas of interest and I would like to work toward developing content around them. The sole reason is - that those are the areas I have been closely experienced and studied and I think I would be able to contribute some of the experience of coping skills and writing towards those topics.
@sky2Ocean20
That's a lot. Don't get overwhelmed. Just choose one or two to start out with
@sky2Ocean20, You did a great job with the selection Sky, those are some really good choices and they should be discussed more. I feel that you would do awesome talking about those subjects, I can not wait to see how you do in those departments. 🤗

@SoulfullyAButterfly
The 3 biggest categories that stuck out to me the most were PTSD, Sexual Abuse, and Relationships, these stuck out to me because I have PTSD myself, and I am a survivor of sexual assault as well as a survivor of abusive relationships not just with romantic partners but with family and even friends. I feel that these would be great categories to cover just from dealing with it firsthand. There are more but the main 3 that stuck out were the ones listed. 🥰
@InsightfulPhoenix
Your focus on PTSD, sexual abuse, and relationships, drawn from your personal experiences, is brave and impactful. Sharing your journey can offer unique insights and comfort to those facing similar issues, creating a space for understanding and healing.
Remember, while sharing your story, prioritizing your well-being and setting boundaries is crucial to maintaining your health and resilience. Your contributions could be a beacon of hope and strength for many.
@InsightfulPhoenix
these topics are incredibly smart and brave of you to choose. You not only relate, but you can teach yourself. Passion can only go so far sometimes.
Dont do what i do and trigger myself with my knowledge 🤭🤭🤭 im kidding, im sure you will be amazing and i look forward to seeing your content!
@SoulfullyAButterfly
I will focus on developing content about coping skills as it is an area that can benefit a broad audience. Coping skills are universally applicable and provide foundational support for mental well-being, regardless of the specific challenge. This topic intersects with various other content categories listed, making it appealing to diverse interests and needs.
Content focused on coping skills can encourage engagement, as readers seek immediate, actionable advice. By offering a mix of general tips and specific techniques, I can cater to varied preferences and encourage interaction through comments, questions, and shared experiences.
Providing content on coping skills aligns with 7 Cups' mission of supporting individuals through emotional challenges and fosters community and shared growth.
@FeureVox
That all seems great. I can tell you’re very motivated and committed on doing well at writing about coping skills. Good luck with your CDM, way to go!
