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'm 13, almost 14. I just feel... I don't know, depressed. I don't have much of a reason. I've had a good life so far. I even want to create a bakery but my mom and grandma tried to talk me out of it. I also love singing and reading and writing. I am also trying to lose weight. I found 7cups by looking up 'someone to talk to' on Google. I've seen what people say about it within the first few minutes of being on here. I am already going through therapy on zoom but I kinda needed to talk to people sooner than that. I am currently feeling lonely and I just got done crying and feel like I need to cry again.
@Angelicevie54 I'm glad thay you are able to find this place where you could just vent out to people. Allow yourself to feel whatever you are feeling and don't fight it. It's okay to cry, but make sure to pick yourself up after because you are the only one that can help yourself. But there will be people out there who will support you. Whatever reason why your family is talking you out of your dream, try not to let go of them. It's important that you do what you want to do for the rest of your life. Sometimes our family will have a hard time understanding this, but eventually they will learn to accept who we are and what we want to do in life. Keep holding on to life. You're still young and you have so much more to experience and learn!
I believe I was born to be a counselor. I've had lots of experience talking one on one with my customers as a stylist, for a 50 year career. I've always wanted to help people get past an emotional or mental block. I'm 66 and wish to have a career as a mentor or counselor. 7 cups gave me an outlet to immerse myself as a listener and supporter. I enjoy being here. It's really rewarding to share my wisdom as a daughter, mother and grandmother, partner. I feel confident that I can serve the world in this way.
@CaringSharon I'm so happy for you, ma'am! I hope that while you're at it, you won't forget to take care of yourself. What you're doing is really amazing! Thank you 🤗

I have been having a hard time struggling with anxiety and depression, and it all got worse due to the corona situation.. I had the occasion to find some amazing listeners here, that spent time listening to me and my problems, without getting bored or irritated. I become a listener because of my desire to help others. I feel like I grew up as a person a bit 🤗
@brightBeauty9343 Yes, this pandemic really has been taking toll on our mental well-being. I'm glad that you are here and you're taking steps to making yourself feel better. It's really amazing that while you're going through things, you're still out here trying your best to help people. I hope yoh won't forget to take care of yourself! 🤗
