Milestones or Steps Completed! Share and Celebrate Here :)

I have learned that I am not the only one with that kind of problems and makes me feel more normal. Because people here understand you and know what are you going true. you really feel love from the people here. they are really loving. :)

I finally talked through my issues last night. I was feeling pretty angry and frustrated. I don't know why, but I felt ok being vulnerable for once. I've spent my life bottling up my feelings in the belief that I had to just push forward and ignore my sadness and frustration. I let out some things that no other living soul outside my immediate family knows and I realized that my experience was not unique to me. I'm tired of being scared to be myself and I know that people have so much compassion if you give them a chance and i'm so thankful that I have had this opportunity to grow.

I've learned that keeping things bottled up can be harmful to me. I have also learned that there are wonderful people on here willing to dedicate their time to help others. It feels so much better to communicate to someone who cares.

Confused, tired of being misunderstood and feeling helpless in life, I googled for a place to find solace and stumbled across 7cups. It was a year back, I was suffering from a heartbreak and depression. I came here, a little unsure, if it was safe, if people could understand, if people would not hit on me or misguide me. I started chatting and initially two or three chats were not so helful to me, I had to find the right listener and when I finally did, the listener worked like magic. They could understand my plight so well and be so empathetic. Nobody told me to do this or do that. Instead, I was the one self-exploring myself and those helped me make the decisions in life. I still have different issues in life, like everyone does, but I feel at home being here. If sometimes I don't feel like talking to someone, I go and read some of the guides here or some blog posts and it definitely has been helping me love myself better. I feel calmer now and at home in 7cups. Also, became a listener here recently, and faced the challenges that a listener goe through here. Respect for my fellow listeners grew even more. And they are all very friendly and warm people, ready to help you. Today 7cups is a beautiful place to be, but i believe the maintenance of it, soully depends on people like us. We have to keep it beautiful and strong, so that people at least don't doubt that it is a website that can misguide or misuse you. Cheers to 7cups! May it grow stronger every day! :)

I finally worked up the strength to get myself some help. I've learned so much just from the few things I've done on here. There's still a lot to do, but I'm in a better place right now.

I just reached step 175!!!

I've learnt there are still some good people out there who'll try help as much as they can.

Your problems ain't anybodys business, unless you want it to be

I'm learning that I don't want to give up on me.
