It's nice to meet you both!
Welcome to 7 cups. We're super happy to have you here and we can't wait to see you within the community
For now you can introduce yourself here. http://www.7cups.com/forum/MemberSupport_32/GeneralEntries_39/IntroduceYourselftothe7CupsMemberCommunity_12967/
You can share your story here. http://www.7cups.com/forum/MemberSupport_32/LifeStory_89/#
And you can introduce yourself to the depression community here.
https://www.7cups.com/forum/DepressionSupportCommunity_52/WelcomeIntroduceYourselfToTheDepressionSupportGroupIcebreakers_211/
What we have is 3 main roles in the 7 Cups Community
Guest: Someone who enters 7 Cups without making an account - they have no set password or profile picture
Member: Someone who has created a 7 Cups account and can access multiple group chats, personal profile/bio, may make forum posts and has a personal growth path
Listener: Someone who listens to members and guests, and supports them through their emotional journey. Listeners play multiple roles in the community and there are different ranks of leadership - e.g. Moderators, Team Leaders, Mentors, Teen Stars etc.
As a member you have the ability to send a General Request - which allows you to ask all available listeners to help you. A little notification pops up for listeners, and a listener selects your chat and talks to you when they wish. If you do not want to get just any listener, you can browse listeners and send a personal request to a specific person here: https://www.7cupsoftea.com/BrowseListeners/
If no one has responded to your chat request you can always send out another general request or personal request, or join us in group chats.
You also have a Feed - which allows you to make posts, follow users and be followed back! I hope this has answered some of your questions
