Is it ok to always depend on this site when you feel down?

I'm going to be honest with you. No, it is not oke to depend on the people here, maybe on some of them, but even the nicest people can just go offline and can't come back, even I have done it. And in all honesty I feel really bad that I did something dumb like that.

Yes it is okay to depend on this site when your down, it is nice to have somebody to talk to and vent to.

It's certainly okay to depend on 7cups when you feel down, because 7cups is considered a healthy and supportive atmosphere where people tend to feel better! In the long run, we hope that many people find their way out of their depression/anxiety/whatever they've come here for, but before they feel comfortable leaving, were always here as a supportive community ❤

Yes! There are always going to be people who want to help you. They want you to feel safe, and talk to you about the road to feeling better.

Yes it's ok to, we are here to help with anything, 7 cups to me is like a big family and we help/support and guide each other through anything

This is a tough question. I would say that it depends on the circumstances. However if you feel you are completely reliant on us here at 7 cups, perhaps looking at other professional supports would be beneficial to you.

It's always okay to depend on this site when you feel down. If you find that it works for you then just do it. It's not wrong in any way. If you prefer using the site then other options then just use it. There will always be people on here to listen to you and try and make things better.

You know yourself best and if you feel that you are helped enough by chats on this site then it might be. However, you may also find that you need face to face interactions, or speak to a therapist - which is also OK!

I think that 7 Cups is a great source, but it can't be your only source. It's always good to talk to someone anonymously and safely, but you need to be able to talk to someone physically. Because there is only so much you can do online. You have to be able to get help in person. And also sometimes it's ok to be sad but you can't always rely on somebody else. Sometimes we get sad, but that is a part of being human. 7 Cups is a great way to communicate and talk but it's not a way to find sympathy and to gossip.

It's great to have a support network behind you and this site is a wonderful place to find that. However, dependency for any reason and in any form is never good. If someone feels dependent on 7cups for support, they may be shutting out friends and family who also have a role in providing support in real life. This is the point at which an individual should seek professional help from a doctor or a therapist. Its wonderful that 7cups can help someone when they're feeling down but if this creates a dependency then its a sign that this method has not lead to improvement.
