Spread the Love: Community Shout-Outs
Hey everyone!
So this is a post for listeners and members to leave shout outs for other members who are doing really well to support the community. it's a place to spread the love, praise, and encouragement for the support that members give each other and give listeners around the forum.
please let the love rain down.
Suppose it's my turn now.
@BeenThereDoneThat99 - My first and only listener I have had. :) Only one I've needed. You were such a great introduction to the site and made an amazing first impression. It was honestly because of you that I stuck around and I'm glad I did. Thank you for being there for me in my times of need. You are a beautiful human being and I pray you never forget how much of a light you've given to my life.
@Ronin7802 - You are such a caring, kind, and attentive man. I've seen you reach out to help others even while struggling with your own journey and that takes a very special kind of person. You definitely make the environment around you a lot brighter simply by existing, and I hope you soon discover what will help make your own environment a little brighter, too.
@DHawks - You, my sweet friend, are amazing. Such a great addition to the moderator team and someone I can trust to put our best interests first. I've watched you bend over backwards for so many people and I am truly thankful to have met you. My only wish is for you to give yourself more credit. You have changed many lives simply by being you and I think that's a beautiful thing. Don't ever sell yourself short.
@MissZ - The goddess. :) I know if you are a part of a Guided Discussion that I'm going to enjoy it. You're so down to earth and for someone like me, who has trouble talking about themselves, I could see myself opening up to someone like you. You have a gift and I hope you realize just how important you are to so many people. Thank you for being here and for being you.
@Celaeno - Hi again! We met once through a Guided Discussion but I was immediately impressed by your openness, your wisdom, and the way in which you turned such a dark topic into a beautiful description. I can tell you've been through a lot and I just wanted you to know that I could feel the strength and the power radiating off of your words and I wanted to recognize you as the fighter you are. Please continue to share your experience and your words of wisdom to others as it would simply be an injustice to not share such precious insight.
@Pbob - You're such a great addition to the Depression Support Room and I often look for you if I don't immediately see your name. I've watched you reach out to so many different people and do it in such a way that I feel helping others is almost like breathing to you - something you do without thinking. I can always count on you to say something that brings a smile to my face and I feel like I wouldn't be smiling quite as often some days if it weren't for you and your amazing presence. Please don't ever change.
@squib - You are often on my mind and are one of the first names I took notice of here on the forums. It's clear to me that you are sitting on top of an impressive pile of wisdom and even with your giving personality, that pile never seems to run out. You are one of the ones I look up to and often hope you are receiving the same love and care that you so unselfishly give to everyone else. You definitely deserve it.
Thanks @ValentineLove! I've received phenomenal love and care through @Belle_ for quite some time, and her support for me deserves a lot of credit whatever good I might be doing for others on the site. She can so much light with just a few well-chosen, heartfelt words I'm almost embarrassed at how hard I sometimes work to say exactly what I mean. (But note that I threw in "almost" - between her, my therapist and my own efforts I'm getting much better at not slamming myself routinely.) I'll try to be deserving of all that! :)
squib. You are too kind as I am so honoured to be your listener. You teach me something new daily and it means a lot. 7 cups is lucky to have you here. Chat soon ;)
@Ronin7802 has been a solid presence in the Depression Support member chatroom for quite some time now. One of the names I see that makes me think everyone there is in good hands :)
@ValentineLove, you really know how to make someone blush, awww, you're just lovely in everyway and don't you worry, I will always put you guys first because to me, you're all worth it.
I'm so glad we're friends because you're one of the most insightful/charming people I know. Together, we might be able to help a few people! :') I'm proud of you everyday Val, just so you know, you're the strongest warrior out there.
@ValentineLove, I am so glad that I met you, even if the setting of our meeting would seem a bit unusual for an outsider ^^ At sight I was drawn to you because of your comforting words, compassion and deep understanding. Your kind words are precious to me and I will save them for the rainy days. Lots of hugs!
@BlankSpaces - For being the light in many people's previously dark tunnels. I have watched you, even in the midst of chaos, seek out those who are struggling to be heard and pull them in to safety. You reach out to those unseen by others and take on problems others seem unwilling to face. This shout out is for you, for being an amazing human being, a kind soul, and a strong warrior.
Another @BlankSpaces fan here! :)
✸ @FluffHelpsEverything ✸ @Rubisbannaa ✸
I want to give a shoutout to you two absolute angels because man, you dazzled me today with your incredible support and compassion for others. You're each a truly beautiful sight to behold in Group Support rooms and you are the light of my day when I see you in there. Thank you so much for being the wonderful way you are ❤
This shout out is for one of the loveliest people I have been lucky to have met @p0tat0e. You are such an amazing person even if you don't believe it. I love our conversations and you have such an impact sometimes that you make my day a lot better. Thank you so much for being there and for being you.
So nice coming from the nicest person and never evil bell :P
This is for ✰ @Celaeno ✰ because I just wanted to give you a public thank you form of recognition for the absolutely gorgeous thread that you created.
That is one wonderful thread that, at least in my knowledge, captures the most honest thoughts on depression in an eloquently well-written way. It's not just brilliantly genuine, but it's also a source of hope and a thread which can make people think, "I'm not alone in my suffering." You have an extraordinary way of expressing your compassion, understanding and awesomeness, please know that I'm so thankful for your complete existence.
@ZaraSmiles, thank you so much! Every time someone says my words made them feel less alone, I feel a depression inside me roaring with anger and frustration. Because it hates compassion, it strives on self-loathing and loneliness. But suddenly, it's not I who is miserable, but my own mental affliction ^^
Your lovely post means a lot to me. I am in awe of how kind and generous person you are, to take your time to write such a praise! You're marvellous, just like the light and hope you bring with your presence. Thank you. Sending hugs!
Part 2 of my member shoutouts! These members deserve so much love, because they are truly amazing!
✰ @magicseaurchin ✰ Ingrid, do you have any idea how strong you are? You have been one of my first members and even when you don't believe in yourself, I believe in you, you can do anything. You are so selfless, easy to talk to, fun. I wish you all the best with your new journey at college and I hope we have the time to keep up.
✰ @neonPeach9358 ✰ Theresa, in the short amount that we have talked, you have shown such understanding and maturity. Your Listeners are very lucky to have you, and so am I now. I hope this is a start of a long friendship.
✰ @StavrosWTF ✰ Stav, you are so funny it's unreal. I love sharing things with you and getting your opinion on everything, because you, my friend, are so smart and learned. Man, you've got me wishing that we could hang in real life as well! c:
✰ @liteWanderer ✰ I'm so glad that you're a part of this community, it was nice to see you in the DS room taking part in the discussion, small talk with you is always great and I've been listening to a lot more Owl City as well. *-* You are smart and lovely, I hope you believe that and also, you are never alone.
You guys are such a great addition to the 7cups community, I'm proud, truly.
@DHawks Thank you so much for being such an amazing, lovely, understanding and caring person. You have no idea how much this post made me happy. I'm crying right now. :,) I'm so happy that you're one of my listeners! :)
@DHawks Oh my goodness, Damien... Can't believe you said all those stuff about me! You're making me cry, you monster...!! :') Thank you so much for everything. That 5am talk this morning was quite something. I really appreciate it. I hope you know that you're really really really reallyyyy amazing! Thank you so much for believing in me when I didn't believe in myself. And thank you so much for sticking around and for not asking me to go away. I wish my imaginary friend was real! c: x
Thanks man.
I've got a shoutout for two lovely members in our community.
@TheHulk - Hey there sweet pea! I hope you're doing well today. You're always so kind in the Community Room, and believe me, it's easy to notice. You engage people in conversation, offer comfort and solace to those who enter.
@MrBrightside07 - This is for the lovely fatheresque figure in the community room. It was so easy to see how open other members are with you, and how you've come to be such a friendly presence in their lives. (I also like that I can send you horribly dubbed anime videos and you'll laugh right along with me). <3
@Cadence 3 words for you, "I love you" Cadea Pea 
Thanks for taking time to write for me. It means a lot 
@TheHulk, Cadea Pea?
