7 Cups Private Journal Feature: Your Personal Safe Space
by SoulfullyAButterfly
Last post
 August 4th
...See more Having a safe space to reflect and document your thoughts and feelings can be a valuable tool in your wellness toolbox. A lot of us at 7 Cups have been journaling and self-reflecting, and I wanted to highlight the private journal feature which currently lives on our profiles as well as under the path steps we can take:  With the Private Journal feature, you can: 📝 Create Personal Entries: Document your thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a completely private setting. It's your space to express yourself freely, without judgment. 📆 View on Your Timeline: Your journal entries are organized on a timeline, alongside other site activity like messages, hearts, path steps taken, and assessment score data. This timeline provides a holistic view of your progress and self-care journey. Have you tried out this feature yet? Feel welcome to share feedback and any ideas on how you would want this feature updated to meet your journalling needs.
Join the One Line A Day Journaling Challenge

...See more It might not seem like much, but putting pen to paper and writing down our thoughts and feelings can do wonders for our well-being. When we journal, we create a safe and private space where we can express ourselves freely and without judgment. This can be especially helpful if we find it hard to share our feelings with others. Journaling also helps us gain clarity and perspective on our thoughts and emotions. We can identify patterns in our thinking and behavior, which can help us recognize triggers and make positive changes in our lives. It can also be a powerful tool to manage stress, anxiety, and other mental health challenges. By writing down our worries and concerns, we can release some of the tension we're carrying around and feel more at ease. 7 Cups has recently launched a Journals & Diaries community and we’re kicking off the launch with a fun challenge you can join! To start and maintain a journaling practice, we are launching a One Line A Day Challenge, where you are invited to journal only one line a day, for 1 month (or more!). Here’s how to join in: * Subscribe to the Journals & Diaries subcommunity at 7 Cups by clicking “Join”. * Consider taking the Flourishing Assessment [https://www.7cups.com/assessment/Flourishing] before you begin the challenge to get a sense of how well you are thriving. This free assessment helps you get insight on your strengths too! * Click the “One Line A Day” topic on the right-hand side of the Journals & Diaries community homepage. Create a thread for your journaling journey. An example thread is “SoulfullyAButterfly’s One Line A Day Thread [https://www.7cups.com/forum/JournalsDiaries_219/OneLineADay_2524/SoulfullyAButterflysOneLineADayThread_301755/]”. You can mention your starting date and any other requests you would like (such as whether you prefer people only read or are ok to get supportive replies) in your first post. * Feeling stuck? We will also create daily journaling prompt threads under the “One Line A Day” topic/section to help you reflect on different things. While this is optional, you can use the prompts for inspiration and can respond under those threads (feel welcome to copy the prompt/response) onto your own thread if you feel like having everything in one place! An additional feature 7 Cups offers is your private journal and timeline. To view it, feel welcome to click here [https://www.7cups.com/path/]. Will you be joining the One Line A Day Challenge? Let us know below and tag other users you think may enjoy this!
A place for my thoughts (and yours) as I cycle through life

...See more I think I will use this spot as a brain dump when needed....I'm having a hard time navigating the forums. I'm not sure where to put things, don't know if there is a way to be notified if someone comments back on my threads but I'm sure I'm missing somebfood stuff, and when it tells me I'm tagged get lost trying to find it....I find I do better navigating the site from my laptop on the web than I do from the android app on the phone so most of my thought dumps will be from the computer, when I actually have time to log in amd type.... I also hate trying to type on my phone....I have the fat finger issue and a lot of times my words are wrong or spell check puts some crazy crap in there that I don't catch and it comes out as nonsense....anyway...if anyone else reads this and wants to be part of my brain dumps, feel free...I'm always open to, but don't always listen to advice, comments and constructive criticism....sooooo to anyone reading, welcome to my world....
in the wonders of my mind💗.

...See more The title explains itself. If you're interested in the ramblings of a middle-aged man with chronic conditions who, at times, sees things a little too clearly for his own good, then read on. Sometimes I get political, but it won't be all the time. I don't mind comments in general but if you're going to differ with what I write, that's fine--as long as you can explain your position clearly & reasonably. Rants, shouting & general incoherence will be ignored or flagged, depending on the situation. Try to remember that not everyone else in this world holds your beliefs. Every so often I may post art or snapshots of projects I'm working on. If you're still interested after reading all the above, great. (I do wonder at how much time you have on your hands, though)

...See more i’ve wanted to make a forum post like that for quite a while now, but never brought myself to actually make it. here i will write up all sorts of thoughts and vents, everything i need to get off my mind. it’s not gonna be positive or motivational, not even close. i personally don’t recommend reading it just because it doesn’t help lol. you’re welcome to read, replies are okay, just be aware that it’s gonna be a pretty dark place. i don’t usually ask for help despite telling everybody to. idk why. i’m not a very good example of what’s right to do. TW just in case, not planning to go that far but who knows.  i’m making myself this space because sometimes you can feel lonely while being surrounded by a million people and that’s nobody’s fault. best wishes to you. ❤️

Who else listens to Rare Americans or have anything good to share?

...See more I’m typically in and out of episodes and stressed between divorced parents houses, school, and dealing with BPD. But I got something good I’ll like to share even if no one sees or responds to this, I got a new burner phone and added back my socials and I was watching reels like I do, cause I have a slight problem with that, and a band popped up that I originally swiped on and then realized for the split second I saw they seemed familiar, so I went back up, and I saw it was the band Rare Americans, which I’ve been listening to them for years and it about them making a third Brittle Bones Nicky, and I squealed, I was so happy and ofc instantly followed them cause apparently I wasn’t already and they’re on tour rn! Currently in Europe but will be in the states soon, it’s 5 months until they’ll just be 55 minutes from me. And, it’s 6 days after my 18th birthday, and the final day of spring for the full bang. I’m so excited, and hopefully going to get their Rhythm Kitchen hoodie, along with ofc buying a tour t shirt there. I really hope I can get good seats and go with I love, I would do my best friend but she said the band seems as if they don’t know what type of music they’re making, anyways, I’m so happy. Things seem to be falling in line and I’m obsessing, literally haven’t listened to any other bands other than Rare Americans recently. And! To make things better, on top of me being actual close friends with a rock star (Venus Blake, she’s so good please check her out if you don’t already listen) but I messaged the band, Rare Americans, and they actually responded!!! Which like made my day. I’m so happy, everything for the most part is prefect rn.

...See more hi hi Freddy just wanted to have a swag diary space so this is it I'm not guaranteeing that I'll remember to put tws and I'd rather not have too many comments from others on this Apple Orchard because apple orchards are my comfort spot and my mind revolves around being apl a lot I'll most likely rant about dissociation, autism and being apl or write love letters to classical music quotes: "There's always something to live for. Classical music." "...because no matter what you have to endure, dear, playing chopin will always heal your mind." -by doris "A deep belief in your own dignity, your own worth. Never let anyone make you feel like you're nobody. Always feel that you count, that you're worthy and that your life has ultimate significance." -by doll-y

Why these episodes? What’s it for?
by StarrieSaturn

...See more 09.21.2024 Hello, so I had a very bad episode again. And funny thing, the last time I had one this bad where I broke some of my favorite things, was screaming at everyone and completely had no self awareness and hurt my body was the last time I was single for over a month. I usually jump from person to person, always getting hurt but not really caring cause I feel the need to like latch onto someone, you know? With me having BPD I’m supposed to experience 80% less of my symptoms when single, yet seems like around a month and a week or two I break, full of anger, then I’m fine as if it never happened. But my family can’t make it seem as if it never happened, they have make sure I remember. But I’m a good person, I think at least, yeah I have my problems and I stay in my mind and can’t seem to understand sonder so well even though I’m 17 years old, turning 18 in about 6 months. It’s really depressing. I will do crazy things and freak out. And what’s worst, is that this freak out episode thing was all because I straightened my hair and I hated the feeling of it, though I literally want to grow my hair out long again, and I couldn’t find an eyeliner. I got so physically uncomfortable I broke. And trying to find shoes for homecoming too, I swear almost every heel isn’t made for a normal human foot, just models, which kills me because a lot of people tell me on a daily basis I should be a model. I really need to get over myself, but it’s so hard. I hate blaming everything on my bpd, but it is a personality disorder, it effects literally everything about me. I wish I can get over it, but it’s been here for so long now, I feel like I would lose the only thing I know if it leaves.
