Anyone can be a Social Soldier! Find out more here!~ (OLD THREAD)

Cadence March 21st, 2015

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.

I'm surprised at the amount of people I connect with on here over a variety of things!

If we took on the perspective that everyone is just trying to make things work for the duration they live on this planet, then it becomes more difficult to understand just how another person could help you. I believe when we interact we are sometimes called to transcend beyond each other's individual ability. I believe it is this new organization of being that can solve problems not just with our circumstances and environment as technology is doing, but with our internal struggles as well. I see life as ultimately suffering and process. I also see life as ultimately beautiful and meaningful when we are empowered with choice, honesty, and truth.

More than happy to help those without support.

Honestly it's like a rollercoaster as listener here, because sometimes you'll the weirdest conversations that will make u laugh. But other times it's more sadder. And it'll feel like u failed.

This is a great place for lonely people who has no one to talk to and be connected with someone who can lend a listening ear to bring some comfort
