Not really, because you have to possess the ability of understanding situations on your own and finding a solution for them because you don't have someone to help you all the time

Absolutely! Listeners are on here for a reason: to be here for people who need to talk it out. This is a really great and loving community and we're always here to give an ear.

While this site is a wonderful resource and a great place to go for help or a listening ear, you should also learn ways of coping on your own over time. If you feel you are relying too heavily on this site, finding a therapist may be an excellent option for you. They will be able to teach you new ways of coping when you feel down. You don't want to feel like you are completely reliant on this website. That being said, don't feel like you can't come here, as well! Keeping a balance between seeing a therapist and visiting 7 Cups is a great thing! It's good that you are reaching out to others for help rather than isolating yourself! Chin up! :)

It is ok to do anything that you feel will help you feel better. No matter what that is. You are choosing to come here for help, and that is awesome.

I believe its ok. This site helps. Talking to people and letting this out, it helps. But having other things to help you when you are down also help.

While it is helpful, it can not always be the most reliable thing. Depending on what is the issue, it may be better to seek professional help.

It depends on what always means. It's perfectly fine to come to this site when you need to vent, but it might be good to come up with some other options as well. What if you don't have internet or can't access the site? So yes, this is a helpful resource, but you might want to think about developing some other coping strategies as well.

Of course! Turning to a proffessionl all the time isn’t a bad thing. It makes you brave for telling someone you don’t know about your struggles.

7 cups is a great site to simply put your feelings out there when you feel overwhelmed. Its non judgemental and can point you in some helpful directions.
But its important to remember that at some point we all need to depend on ourselves to make us feel better, otherwise we learn that only other people make us feel better when we are down. Its important to develop that self-love and worth which is where this site can come in. But at the end of the day, you are the expert in you; so you are the best person to depend on when you feel down! 7 cups can simply help you along the way.
