My Journey
I don't know how did I got here. I signed up as a member and I wasn't interested in being a listener at all because I think human beings are too complicated for me to handle with my age now. but actually, I've always wanted to be a psychiatrist.
My journey with a community as a volunteer (checkout http://playunified.org) made interested in forums and programs like that. I began to look for volunteers that are willing to listen to people with various sorts of mental illnesses. I think that was how I found 7 Cups of Tea.
honestly, I'm a troubled kid. I have depression, self-harm, an eating disorder, social anxiety disorder, bullied, and currently I'm diagnosed with bipolar disorder. I've even had suicidal thoughts and a few failed (as you can see) attempts. yeah, a problematic listener here. but dealing with others made me realize the fact that I'm not alone, even though coping with loneliness is still hard, but i know that out there, there are people who are struggling with me.
I honestly hope that one day, there would be no barrier between people with any kind of mental illness or intellectual disabilities and the majority 'normal' people
