Introduce yourself.

Hi, I'm bailey... I have suffered from bipolar disorder since I was a little girl but nobody knew until I was 15. I've had a lot going on in my life, I moved out of my mother's house, and I've been with the same person for almost a year -he helps me a lot but it's hard on him because he doesn't understand it and that's OK. I love animals and nature and I am an equal rights advocate. I try my best to be kind to anyone because I was bullied for years on end. I sometimes have trouble because of my mental/emotional illness but I strive to better myself. i.e. why I'm here. I've looked everywhere for some way to help myself but have found nothing. A doctor or therapist visit isn't an option for me... but, here goes nothing.

Hi! I'm Tom and I've been suffering from depression in various degrees for at least the last 30 years. Antidepressant medications have only made me feel much worse. I'm hoping to find a non-chemical way to alleviate my symptoms, which I think have several causes, and maybe, in the process, help some others do the same.

Hie Everyone

I have been battling with low self esteem,depressions, anxiety, addiction for quite a time without even noticing . I thought l was being strong, l thought l could handle it, but l should think lm no super human.

I should have listened to myself earlier, venting out in my thoughts, but l ddnt, thank God l came across 7 cups of tea, l feel relieved, l understand myself more and l know that lm not well.

Its a great step in the right direction, now l need to lookfor help so that l make the world a better place by not causing harm to myself and others.

Thank you 7 cups, God bless whoever started this organisation / website.

Hi all of you!

I have to admit that I've had symptoms of depression (also anxiety, but that even longer) for at least half a year now. It constantly got worse and I felt really bad. A little more than two months ago it started getting really shit and now I'm constantly feeling really horrible.

It's also really hard for me to talk about my problems. Writing is okay, but talking is just... almost impossible. That's why many of my "online" friends know about me but not the people I can actually meet, for example my parents and most of my friends.

I also haven't seen a doctor or just SOMEONE. I know I should and I know I'm so NOT getting better but... it's so hard and I'm really scared. But I'm also so scared of what's happening to me. I'm scared I haven't hit rock bottom yet and it's just getting worse and worse and I'll start really hurting myself.

This is an attempt to talk to people and maybe get the courage to see someone...

Hi, my name's Gabby, and I have depression/GAD/social anxiety. (This sounds like an AA meeting now. haha) Anyway, been dealing with depression since I was 13 or 14. I'm 21 now. I've probably been dealing with social anxiety longer and just didn't realize it until recently. I always thought I was just shy and that it was something I'd eventually grow out of. Well, I never grew out of it. Here I am many years later, a college junior studying biology and environmental science. I don't know how I'm going to handle the fall semester, to be honest. I've only just started therapy two months ago and I've been in a sort of haze all summer.

I'm Anubis, I'm from the south of the USA and I have panic disorder, dyscalculia, dermatillomania and probably other things too. I have an abusive dad. I have two years until I can legally move out.

I'm Ashley, I'm 23, and I have no memory of a point in my life where I didn't struggle with depression. I've had quite a number of traumatic events happen the last couple of years, all resulting in a severe upswing in my depression and anxiety.

Hello. I'm Kennedy. I have never been completely happy, but right now I am going through a severe depressive episode (longer than 2 weeks). I have spastic diplegia as well and that lowers my self-esteem further.

I'm Lexi. I'm 16, pansexual, and I've been suffering from depression since I was about 14. I also have developed really bad trust issues and I self harm almost every day. No one except about three people know about this and I have no way of expressing myself other than through this app. I've been slut shamed and skinny shamed and I've been told that I'm anorexic and unhealthy. My scars are well hidden but I'm afraid one day someone will see and start telling everyone. I have panic attacks daily and I think too much. Confidence is low and I hate seeing myself in a mirror. That's pretty much me I guess
