Anyone can be a Social Soldier! Find out more here!~ (OLD THREAD)
Welcome to the official forum thread for the Social Soldiers! Im glad youre here; youre amazing, and Im glad youre part of the community.
Introduction
The Social Soldiers project was created with the intent on eliminating the stigma that comes along with mental illness on social media, guiding those who are depressed/having a hard time/need someone to talk to right here to 7CupsOfTea. As Laura explained in her lovely thread right here, we need to be here for people who may feel as though they have no other place to turn.
What are Social Soldiers?
Social Soldiers are people that use 7Cups-designated social media to guide people in the right direction, hopefully leading them to the site where they can talk to someone who truly cares. They use the handles Twitter, Reddit and/or Tumblr, and check the tags for depression, or self harm, or anything along those lines.
Who can be a Social Soldier?
Anyone! Thats the beauty of this project; literally anyone can get involved with it.
What isnt a Social Soldier?
Sharing your own personal social media with other members/listeners.
Someone that shares their personal social media in this thread.
Just to debunk a question that may be asked, you can totally share your referral link on your personal social media handles, however we do ask that you dont share your personal social media handle here. If you have a big following on Twitter, and youd rather use your personal account to spread the word, thats totally okay, just do not share with other members/listeners your personal account. If you have any questions on this, feel free to PM me.

New comers welcome to 7 cups of Tea. 7 cups of Tea is an online counselling website my name is Kimdembrace21 and I help you with lots of challenging situations I help with Anxiety,Depression,work related problems, Traumatic experiences,LGBTQ I help its breakups and relationship fixtures come and talk to me for free and I'll give you the best advice
I love finding new quotes for those times that I feel down and cannot get back up again. I hope that this quote helps someone else as much as it helped me.
The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity. – Ulysses S. Grant
Even though quotes may be small and seem insignificant, they sure do help keep us going when we feel like we cant push or pull any more.
The song Dream On by the Oakridge Boys also is a great inspiration. No matter how much life throws at us it is important that we keep our dreams alive and keep pushing forward. One day everything will work out and be better.

Continuing to send messages over Twitter to help spread the word about 7 Cups. I've even gotten a few listeners to join that way! :)
7 cups has helped me get out and meat and talk to people going through different kinds of problems. I have met lots of great people here and overall it has been a life changing experience for me. I want to carry this though to twitter which unfortunately I don't use very often but I would like for people from 7 cups to follow me and develop friendship and rapport together. Thank you all from my heart.

@MSix2Se7en -- is this your personal Twitter account? I think we are supposed to create a new Twitter account specifically for 7 Cups. For example, my twitter handle is Amelia@RocketsMom22. @Katheryn....are we supposed to have an account specifically for 7 Cups?
hello there @MSix2Se7en , as @Rocketsmom pointed out, it is important to create a specific 7 cups Twitter account if you would like to be part of the social soldiers team, this is to ensure that your personal information and personal social media handles are not shared on 7cups. You can find out more information in the main forum post :)
I posted a ref link to my twitter account, hopefully a few who see it and want to chat, will do so.
I applied to be a social soldier a few days ago. When will I hear back?
@heretohelpyou123 hey there! i see that you applied for Twitter, there is a batch that still have to be accepted but i am sure it won't be too long before you hear back from one of the Twitter team leaders :) Grace(Tumblr team leader)
