Welcome to 7 Cups! Introduce yourself here!!

Hello everyone, I’m BrighterShine009. 

I came here about 6 years ago seeking help with some issues I was going through at the time and received lots of support that I couldn’t find elsewhere. I had recently came back seeking more help and once again I received support. I appreciate all that you do and would like to contribute using what I have learned in my time off and on here. 

I don’t have a broad expanse of experience or expertise but have used the benefits of therapy and support from here to encourage me to open my mind and progress my journey into healing and self betterment through education. I did not graduate high school, but have always been hungry for knowledge and my trauma’s piqued my interest in learning how to mend my wounds. Coming here and being suggested a therapist and following through is what set it in. The road to healing and recovery was a constant uphill battle but I eventually healed enough to focus and begin taking psychology courses online and passed with certificates that I was unable to pay for at the time. I didn’t/don’t want to make a career of psychology but would rather help by donating my time here as my time is limited and as a single father, my life more often than not is busy with my children. 

Thank You from the bottom of my heart,

Sincerely, BrighterShine009

Hi! I'm Samantha and I've been on a long road with my mental health. I'm married in my 30s and child-free. I used to struggle with SH and psychosis but I'm now off all meds and I've been incident free for going on two years.

I'm mostly struggling with the loneliness from difficulty forming/keeping relationships, and wondering "what's next" after officially deciding to remain child-free. Trying to get on top of the anxiety I'm feeling so I don't slip back into old struggles.

I'm trying out the community and so far it seems full of very lovely and supportive people. Happy to be here 😊

Hi, everyone! My name's Kae, new to the team - I have a BSc in Psych and an MEd in Counseling, so this is a big passion of mine 😊
