Why did you join 7 Cups of Tea?

@VladPaulboth

@VladPaul

Initially I joined 7 cups feeling lonely. Not long after, I decided that helping others was exactly what I wanted to do! 💓 

@VladPaul well I think I’m likely to be more positive because helping others needs a sense of hope and positive view of life 

I joined 7Cups so I can work on reducing my anxiety especially now because I am in the middle of applying for jobs and I hope it ends soon. So far they have all been rejections. 

@VladPaul

I joined initially for getting help to my broken heart and having a humane touch to my feelings. But slowly I became listener so that I can help and provide humane touch to other souls who are suffering in this world. So mine was to get help and later turned to be a help provider.

I did a test and it said I have depression.... Help-

@VladPaul

This is a great question. I joined 7 Cups because I was struggling a lot emotionally and mentally. Then a counselor recommended 7 Cups for me. When I first joined, I didn't even know how to use the site! I spoke with around 10 different listeners a day. I'm grateful that I got to explore the site more and discover group support, forums, paths, and community activities. 

Questions:

If you're seeking support - how has 7 Cups helped you?

7 Cups has helped me feel less alone during hard times. There are also many things to distract myself from sad thoughts on 7 Cups: paths, forums, and community activities. 

Is it the idea of talking to a stranger that won't judge you?

That is a huge part of why I joined 7 Cups! Having diverse feedback helps me find closure. 

Is it just so you release your thoughts somewhere in the world?

Releasing my thoughts somewhere in the world, and not doing it alone has been very helpful for me.

Is it the connection with a true listener that is willing to help you understand your problems?

Yes, yes, yes! I've had two really great long-term listeners that quite literally changed my life. I clicked really well with my first long-term listener. We had a lot in common and our conversations were genuinely comforting : ) I will always appreciate that listener for the rest of my life! They helped me get through the hardest times.  

I love helping. Easy as that. 💜

@VladPaul I joined 7 cups because I need help with my relationship

@VladPaulI have joined 7 cups (it's only 2nd day as a listener) because I wanted to heal people, my biggest relief would be if someone talked to me and at the end said that they are feeling better🌷
