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

of course, this site is a great way to get help. however, if it’s a recurring problem that you are feeling down, you may want to see someone if you’re feeling down often

it is helpful to use it as baby steps until you learn how to calm yourself down, and it is okay to take a while to figure yourself out and take everything slowly.

yes. we will be here to listen for as long as you need it. everyone needs someone to talk to sometimes.

You should not always depend on this site as you may not have access to it one day. You should figure out a coping or support system for yourself and use this only as a crutch.

There's nothing wrong with looking for someone to talk to here on 7 Cups of Tea. We listeners will always be here for you but we also hope that you'll have someone to talk to, someone who's physically present and who can really hug you tight or someone who can just be there with you. Just chatting helps but if you really need professional help, be brave and go for it! You need not suffer in silence and we'll always be here to listen.

It's ok but not entirely..you could become overly dependent on one of your listener. Use this site for what it is..as a supporting relieving environment for when you have no one to talk to.. but in the meantime look for people who'll be there for you in real life as well.

try practicing small mind exercises. for example, you feel panicked practicing talking your self down in your own way and maybe come on after to celebrate ^_^.

Of course it is, behind the site are people who care about you. I may not know you personally but i care about you because i know how it feels.

Never "always" depend on anything or anyone, but most of the times, we are here for you - to help, to listen. We care.

7 Cups is a great resource and you're always welcomed here when you feel down but remember that professional help is important and sometimes necessary. It's important that you seek help from a Therapist if you want more specific care which we have but sometimes we just need someone in person to listen. Also you never know if you might need medication to help with a mental illness that you never knew you had.
