Why did you join 7 Cups of Tea?
Here's a fun Icebreaker!
Why did you join 7 Cups of Tea? Is it to get support or help others?
If you're seeking support - how has 7 Cups helped you? Is it the idea of talking to a stranger that won't judge you? Is it just so you release your thoughts somewhere in the world? Is it the connection with a true listener that is willing to help you understand your problems?
If you're here to help others - what has been your journey so far?
Much love!

I started my 7Cups journey as a member, just like many other listeners! I decided to see what the listener side was like, and now I'm exclusively a listener who loves hanging out here and supporting people the best I can :)
@VladPaul i need some support.
@VladPaul
This is a great ice breaker! I joined 7cups many moons ago in 2016 because I was seeking purpose and I wanted to support others and be around other people who enjoy mental health topics.
@VladPaul
I came for support. I don't have what it takes to help others.
I'd earched for free therapy on google for a while and got nothing until 7cups. Wanted to connect with a therapist and got a bonus of connecting with my own tribe here and make friends as well
@VladPaul To help others and to get some support when needed. I have a learning disability and suffered from depression as a teen. I have coping skills for depression, which helps. But sometimes I like to talk to a listener, to get even more tips. I also love the chatrooms. I love helping in them and I also get support being in them and I also learn new tips, for depression as well. I also learned some tips for my learning disability as well. 7Cups is a great community as well.
@VladPaul my carer set me up on this site just after I learnt how to use technology and the internet😁 she wanted me to learn about the world through others eyes ❤ 7 cups helped me to find my voice (yep! It's 7 cups fault I don't stop talking😁) I actually have friends, people who actually make me feel loved, and loved and like I'm a normal person. I've got alot of support I've learnt a lot, and I love 7 cups ❤❤ thankyou everyone ❤
@Tinywhisper11 Besty, that was written so beautifully. Nice job.
@calmMango9611 thanks friend ❤ I love you
@Tinywhisper11
You are normal. And I’m happy for you having a voice and don’t stop talking bc most of what you say based on what I’ve read so far is positive. Whether you realize it or not and it’s completely ok if you don’t is that you are my friend and I am your friend. Anytime you wanna talk about anything please reach out to me.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@akunknown thankyou ❤❤❤
@Tinywhisper11
You’re welcome my friend ❤️
@VladPaul
To help others I joined as a Listener and have never looked back ❤️❤️ It’s coming up to nearly 4 years being here now and I can’t believe how much I’ve learned and how I’ve grown along the way.
7 Cups is a very special place indeed ❤️❤️

@VladPaul
I joined today actually. I've been struggling for a few years now, and since this is mostly free and anonymous it seems safe to try.
I'm pretty isolated and just need something, I'm not sure what...maybe someone, or a few people, to connect to? Someone to just talk with when I can't get a handle on my anxiety? I'm not sure...I'm still trying to figure out how all this works or if I even belong on something like this.
