What brought you to 7 Cups?
I am Kc and I'm both a listener and a member here. I first used this app as a member when I was feeling troubled about life. I experieced a lot of anxieties and I was depressed. Talking to random strangers and receiving kindness from others really helps, especially being able to help others. I consider becoming a Psychologist in the future. What about you? Tell me a little bit about yourself and what brought you to 7 Cups in the comment section below. :)
I came hear because my therapist suggested it would help me with my social anxiety. I have a huge fear of interacting with people. Even online!

It is okay, I think you are doing a good process about it and I want to tell you that you are brave and I am in the therapist as well, but it is more like family issues, but I came here because I want to learn about BPD my love one has it and I want to understand it more and all the dissorders around and become more empathy and love around.
you are worthy and you deserve to be happy.
@Lizavivi123
I really appreciate your kind words. It's nice to know I'm not alone 
@fairmindedPal4246 I hope that this app can help you face your fears! Be careful around here though, we all know that there are others that are just here for something else. Good luck on your journey, Pal!
@kywaaah
Thanks for the encouragement and the heads up!
@kywaaah
I came here to understan my love one who has BPD and I want to understand her and support her, I want to empathy with people more and spread some love around and help people if they need it.
I have a therapist now since I have some impulsivity issues but hopefully I can get better with actions and prove that I can get my own stuff without taking my parents money.
@Lizavivi123 wow Liza, you have such a pure intention and goal! I'm amazed. I hope that 7 Cups will be able to help you through your journey.
I feel you on being impulsive. I, too, am impulsive. But I haven't really thought of getting a therapist for it yet because I keep thinking that maybe this matter is trivial. But knowing how this is important from you, I might actually reconsider it. It's great to know that you are trying to grow out of this habit too!
I hope things will go as smoothly as possible while you're working on being independent! 🤗 YOU CAN DO THIS!
@kywaaah
This is such a cool question to see what all brought us to this helpful platform and a nice way to feel a sense of connection with people who have similar experiences. I originally came on this platform four years ago. I was having a lot of family trouble and was looking for a place to talk to somebody since I never was one to open up emotionally with people i knew in real life(I'm still not, but it has gotten easier to open up haha). I find myself coming back throughout the years whenever I run into a situation or feel overwhelmed. 7Cups has really helped me and the people here are easy to talk to. I hope whoever is reading this will have a good day. Stay strong. I believe in you.
@greenAvocado21 I'm glad that you are able to start sharing with strangers now. Maybe later on you will be able to apply your methods right now with your family. Even I had a hard time opening up with my family. I still can't fully open up to them, but it's something that I'm working on. This is a good start though and I'm proud of you! Take it slow. Start by telling the little things. 🤗
A friend who is a listener on here highly recommend 7 cups as a place to talk. And it stuck in my mind. And with the current pandemic and way things are I really miss human contact. It's so risky right now. So I remembered 7 cups and came here to connect with people safely. And it has not been long since I joined but it has already helped me feel better!
@Bunchberry I'm glad the people here could keep you accompanied. 🤗 It's hard right now because of the pandemic but things will go well.
A friend of mine who is an aspiring psychologist told me about how she was doing an internship for 7 Cups, and because I thought it was such an interesting idea and good thing to do during quarantine (that is helping people with whatever issue they may have), I decided to try it for myself! I ended up really enjoying helping people and I enjoy my time here!
@Marie1202 wow that's great Marie! Thank you for doing this! This is great! Dont forget to take care of yourself though. 🤗
@kywaaah
Thank you so much! And I truly am working on taking care of myself better as well, and I hope you do the same 😊
@Marie1202 of course Mariex thank you for your concern 🤗
@kywaaah I just found this website a few days ago after questioning my sexual identity. I have reached out to a few listeners and I already am beginning to feel better and more confident.
@confusedhoomanbean that's a great news! I'm happy for you! And I'm so glad that you found this website and that the people here were able to help you! 🤗
I just need to untangle my mind. It's like anxiety is a thread and just like when you throw your headphones in your purse, it's all over everything and has several knots in it somehow.
I've tried 7 Cups before, but the one and only listener I had just said things like "uh huh," "yea okay," "wow, what then?" and it was kind of like talking to wet paint. So I gave up.
But now I see that there is a whole "social media"-esque going on, so I'm willing to give it another try. Maybe even move onto a therapist, though I'm not too sure about that just yet.
@mamanugget some listeners here really just don't know what they're doing or maybe don't know what to say. But hey, if you wanna talk drop me a message! I will try to get back with you when I'm available! I hope that you will be okay soon. Anxiety is really hard to experience. To be honest, I still am going through my anxieties. And I'm not so sure how to deal with them yet. But I can try to listen to you and maybe get your mind off your worries when you trigger. :)
@kywaaah
I am Sky, you can also call me Bunny, I found 7cups 2 months back. I was really down, heavy and alone, and I just randomly searched on Google - "someone to talk to", and this website popped up. I still don't know if I have anything like depression or something specific. I had a lot of issues, and I have found a solution to atleast one of them by talking to the amazing folks here. I am planning to do something in digital art and animation in future, but I am really confused and stuck,
@bubbleSky5248 awe, bunny! That's how I found this website too you know! While I was feeling all low and anxious. I was desperate for help so I just googled stuff.
Hey, it's great that you're here! Most people here are really helpful and have good intentions. I'm glad that you are finding some ways to make yourself feel better. 🤗 I hope that whatever it is that you're going through, you'll be able to face them courageously and that things will be fixed somehow! 🤗
@kywaaah Kc! awe! That's great you found this website too! :)
Yup, I am glad to be here too, and as you said, overwhelmed by the amount of genuine and helpful people here. Thank you so much. 🤗
I wish you luck too, and strength in all your endeavors, and that you face them courageously and succeed! 🤗
Thank You!🤗
I came to seven cups when I started questioning my sexuality back in early 2018. I was looking for resources I could use to figure out my sexuality and I found seven cups. Joining helped me become more aware of my depression, anxiety, and other issues, and I am also now seeing a therapist and psychiatrist offline. During my time here I have developed very close friendships with several wonderful people here. I guess you could think of us all as pen pals. They have been here with me through some very hard times and I have always tried to be there with them when they needed it. Seven cups is still a very helpful outlet for me when I feel that I cannot rant about something to my friends or I want to write or talk about something I haven't opened up to about with my therapist yet. I am very grateful to have found seven cups, overall it had been a positive thing in my life since I joined and I hope it continues to grow and improve.
@ThePizza wow that's awesome Pizza! I'm so glad that you've found some good people in here and that this was able to help you grow wonderfully! 🤗
I came here to get more tips on how to make sure my boyfriend is staying true and not swaying from the path of happiness with me
@IEatListenersForBreakfast It is nice to hear some other people's opinions regarding our problems but advice is really risky to give as it can be constructive or destructive. I understand though that it's hard to confront our loved ones regarding our own worries, doubts, and other agendas as sometimes things might not go the way we expect it to be. However, it is far better to talk to your partner about this rather than finding out what people think you should do or say to him to keep him happy. But all of this is just my opinion too, you can continue to follow the path you've chosen if it's what you want. I hope things will go well for you and your relationship soon~
