Tumblr (not surprisingly maybe?)
It's curious to read how everyone of you found 7 cups of tea community, and well, mi story isn't exciting at all, but I love it.
I was surfing on Tumblr as I used to do when I was feeling low, because there you only have to see posts and sometimes you found some that reflected exactly how did you feel. So, I clicked in a sad post maybe and, suddenly THERE IT WAS. 'Do you know 7 cups of tea community?'
Well, I actually didn't, but as I was really surprised of that kind of add, I read it all, from the bottom to the top. And then I found that I could help some people just by chatting with them! My mood changed instantly and I signed up and started my listener training. I was so glad I couldn't believe.
I thought the language would be a problem but it hasn't been! As I am here talking to people all around the world, learning about their feelings, their scares, their dreams, their experiences... I also learn English!
This place is fantastic, really wonderful and I feel so happy I am a little part of it :)
Todos juntos podemos más de lo que creemos!
I'm so glad to hear that finding this place helped you! Your story is very similar to mine so I am so glad you're enjoying it here!
@Openminded1 Thank you so much! It's truly fantastic becoming a part of this
It surprised me to find that when you search Tumblr for something like "depression" you get a support message at the top of the search results asking if you're OK. When you click on it you get a page of links to places you can get help, and 7 Cups is featured.
@RarelyCharlie Yes! That's the best part. Even though you're not looking for a place like this, whether you know these places exist or not, it's wondeful that 'someone' reminds you that you can be helped
I found this app when I googled I can't cope
The same thing happened to me. I was searching anxiety related things on tumblr when I was feeling down, and I saw that message that pops up with resources; one of the links was for this website.
