Getting back to 7 Cups
Not exactly a newbie, however, I am coming back to 7Cups after 2 years (Or so I believe, I'm not sure if I can check account age) of being inactive. I'm looking to get back into things, but I'm not sure where to start. I'm looking for any help with things I need to revisit after such a long break <3

Hey hey Alex, welcome back. How was your time away from here? <3
You can check your account age on your profile page- https://www.7cups.com/@FloralDance, you started being a listener on September 26, 2022, woah, and your cupsversary is coming up soon! :D
It is super understandable feeling lost and confused about getting back into the helm of things here. Things do keep evolving and it's always great to reach out for support, so yay for making this post!
I'd definitely recommend glancing through the listener primer when you get the chance to- https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nXShObboR646WnkXOdY1FwmCXyYbmPwii3ZtRGqwFhk/edit# containing lots of helpful information and insight about navigating the site and active listening skills.
Feeling a bit rusty and nervous about taking up chats is also quite common of an experience shared by many of us listeners post a break from chats, so no worries at all, you can always do practice chats with mentors- https://www.7cups.com/listener/listenerMentors.php or request a listener coach using this form: http://bit.ly/7CupsLC
In general too, reaching out to a mentor or a coach would be helpful as they can brief you about any changes to note, or simply be a go-to for you if you need any resources, support or encouragement in navigating your way around here again!
Remember that you can take all the time you need to settle and it is more than okayyy to be at your pace while you're at it.
Good wishes. I'm a forum tag away, so you need anything! <3
