How Did You Hear About 7 Cups?
Well, back in November of 2014, I wasn't exactly feeling the greatest. I was sad and confused and very anxious. So, I wanted to talk to someone out there, so I looked up "online therapy" and "free therapy" and was just searching for somebody who wanted to be empathetic. I finally came across the website and became a member shortly afterwards. I used to log on a lot and just talk about things that kind of bugged me, or I didn't know what to do. Eventually, I decided I wanted to become a listener. So, I joined and was eager to earn badges the very first time I logged in as a fresh, new listener. I completed nearly all of the courses, and I chatted with several people. As of today, I still do that! Earn badges and talk to people. And I love it.
I have been dealing with depression and anxiety for years. I've tried to commit suicide twice and nearly succeeded once. I found out about 7 Cups by Googling, '24/7 Suicide Chat' I already knew about the prevention lifeline and the texting service, but I needed a way to get help without my mom looking online at my phone logs and seeing messages to a suicide prevention line. My family doesn't know about my depression or my self harm habit. I found 7 Cups a few months ago, but only gained the courage to actually download and sign up today (June 7th, 2015) I haven't chatted with anyone yet, but I know I need to and should. But I'm glad I finally downloaded it.
Ifound 7cups on Tumblr, one of my friends also recommended it too me so that's how i started on this site. i love this helping people here and even when I'mdown I'mhappy that their is always someone to talk to!
I found 7 cups of tea as a suggestion in the app store. I use related tools to manage my wellbeing like sleep trackers and mood swing trackers. I am still very new but the forums appear to be very encouraging and supportive. I look forward to working with listeners and participate some more.
A friend posted about it on facebook. At the time I thought not much of it until I had an anxiety attack and decided to try it. I haven't regreted my decision at all.
There was a post on a the image sharing site Imgur, about this website. I decided to check it out and I'm really glad I did. it's such a positive and great atmosphere.
In October 2014 I had a spell of feeling lost, depressed and hopeless. I needed someone to talk to but there was no one I could turn to. The little family I have aren't interested in talking much about anything other then gossip ormoney so I went online and after a bit of searching I found 7 cups. I had a chat with a lovely person and afterwards I felt so much better. I began to see things clearer and I didn't feel so alone.
During the next few months I had a couple more chats when I felt I needed to talk to someone.Eachtime I was left feeling happier and positive about life.In January 2015 I decided that I would become a listener, I wanted to help people the way I had been helped and return some of the help I had been given.
I Looked upanxiety on the Play storeand came across this, Extremelyhappy i did :)
I have never really felt like I was one of "those" people. The ones scared of their own minds. I heard about 7cups from a YouTuber I watch called KaeyiDream, and didn't think much of it. After a while, I needed something, anything that could help me get me out of my head. The next thing I know, I'm in a live chat here.
I was wondering one day if there's chat room that connect people for mental and depression assistant. I honestly don't think this would exist. I went online and check, there it is, first page in google! Well done guys.
I read about it on imgur.
