Reflecting on Zero Discrimination Day (March 1st): A Call for Compassion and Inclusion
by CheeryMango
Last post
 1 day ago
...See more Hey everyone, March 1st was Zero Discrimination Day, a day to reflect on how harmful discrimination can be and how important it is to treat everyone with kindness and respect, no matter their background or differences. Even though the day has passed, the message is something we can all carry with us every single day. At 7 Cups, we know that a little compassion can go a long way. Whether it's offering a listening ear or standing up for someone who feels overlooked, small acts of kindness can help create a more inclusive world. Today, let’s remember: * The power of empathy: Sometimes, just listening without judgment can make all the difference. * The impact of inclusion: Even simple gestures—like offering support or standing in solidarity—can change someone’s day, or even their life. * Our shared responsibility: We all play a part in creating spaces where everyone feels safe and valued. Zero Discrimination Day might have been on March 1st, but the goal is to live out its message every day. How do you carry the spirit of inclusion with you in your everyday life? Have you witnessed or experienced a moment of kindness that made you feel seen?

...See more We often time come to 7 cups in search of something: -Someone who understands -Someone to talk to -Someone who will listen -Someone to keep us company Many of us find that - which is awesome! However, there may come a time when as a member, you are ready to leave. And that is okay. It doesn't have to be forever or even an awfully long time. Maybe you are leaving to go out to eat with friends for the first time in weeks or months. Let us know so we can send you off with warm regards!

I will keep these promises and I will do everything in my power to promote mental health, healing, and wellness within myself, my fellow members and my world.

...See more Hello guys i would like to ask some opinion or advice... I am a 20, yo girl and i found myself very introvert.. i even doing some psychological test and got INFP and found 89% introvert... Sometimes i feel okay and love myself and what i've got.. and now i am currently moving into a new apartment and found the feeling that 'i should introduce myself to my neighbors and explore the vicinity' but i am afraid to even do small talks to my neighbors such as 'oh nice sunday isnt it' i found small talks is irrevelant in my life and just waste of time.. dont get me wrong but i do have some friends i love my friends and we click. I just, sometimes think is it okay to be introvert like this? I just hate small talks and dont know how to start proper conversation , as i dont usually ask about random daily life but more like.. burst of idea? I would prefer discussing about something particular with earnestness rather than just 'how was your day' convo... Am i weird? Is my social skill zero? I want to have friends but in the same time i found many people is just engaging themselves with fake conversation and i found that as a fake interaction :( if you have any advice please do tell me xoxo :3

I overanalyze and care too much about people

Last post
 February 22nd
...See more Every time I am in public and I bump into someone, it instantly mentally hurts a little, whenever I hear them talking something bad about something, I instantly subconciously fear they're talking about me, when someone talks to me online and it isn't inherently nice and positive, I feel insulted.  I talked about that to multiple mental health professionalists, all of them did nothing but, in short, tell me that I should "not care that much about others and what they think" How??????? Does anyone know, like, anything I can ACTUALLY and straightforwardly start doing to stop overthinking/fearing/having a traumatic response/just feeling bad when I interact with strangers, or what i perceive as strangers?  (worth mentioning that i have ASD)

Small tasks appears as impossible tasks
by Beautifullife66
Last post
 February 12th
...See more Lately, I’ve been feeling overwhelmed even by simple tasks. My heart races over small things, and even setting up this 7 Cups account felt exhausting. Sometimes, my anxiety makes me clumsy—like spilling water just by holding a glass wrong. I also have frequent nightmares of being chased or trapped. As a child, especially during fevers, I used to have similar “impossible task” dreams. Could my current struggles be linked to that? Or is this a mid-life issue (I’m 42)? A past event still haunts me—missing a flight during a family trip due to my mistake. Since then, my anxiety seems worse. I also dwell on smaller setbacks, like an employee leaving years ago. Could these past incidents be making me more anxious now? Lately, I’ve started snapping at my daughter over minor things. I don’t want my anxiety to affect my family. Am I experiencing panic attacks? Should I cut down on my tasks? I also practiced meditation and deep beathing in the meantime (though not consistently), but it didn't appear to help. Any advice would be really helpful. Thanks

...See more I think i should just say everything here, i was in long distance relationship for 1.5 years its been a year since breakup, she used to talk about guys from her classes, all the attention she used to get, at one point in the end everything started to surface, all the likes she gave other guys on ***, everyone whom she followed on snap or talked, her self told that she have had talked and said "ilikeyou" to someone else while being in relationship may she later had felt guilt and shared it, but all these things were too much, she lied a lot even when i was overthinking, said that my overthinking was only that but all came out to be true, we broke up she tried many times to dm me back apologize but i didnt let her. After this it all went down the drain for me i started consuming porn, started to get into ***, nsfw roleplay, new fanatasies like femdom, then it got worse where i was getting aroused from this memory of her talking about other quys and it became a cuck fetish, and i masterbated to those thoughts and captions of this thing related with her. i want to get rid of this fetish or fantasy, i want to get rid of this memory, i did quit not masterbating to these cuck captions that i created myself but did it recently again after a week, im going insane now, i really want to quit i am struggling a lot, i dont know where to go, please help me here

Healing

...See more Healing is natural, when you start to align with yourself. When you start to connect with yourself. When you start to choose mental peace before chaos. You start to say no to things that hurt you. You start to care for yourself. Thats when healing happens.

Depersonalization/derealization/dissociation
by orangeCherry98
Last post
 January 3rd
...See more Hi fellow members. :) I was wondering if any of you also experience depersonalization/symptoms of depersonalization? I have had it pretty much 24/7 since around 2011. If you have never heard of the term before, the Wikipedia article is quite easy to read. There are the articles Depersonalization and Depersonalization Disorder. It is extremely lonely feeling like there is a veil between you and your environment, including people. It has affected everything for me from my health, social skills, relationships, memory, sense of time, and of course school. (You can read more about my story in the comments) So tell me about your experience, did you have a phase or do you have the disorder? What is it like? And feel free to share your story.

How To Get Anonymous Help (English and Formatted Post)

...See more Why 988 is Important? It is a non-judgmental, confidential way to receive emotional support during panic and crisis. Panic and crisis referring to a deep sense of danger, trouble, doom, or at risk of endangering yourself. They do not discriminate those who struggle with substance use. But I’m Worried It Will Make It Worse! Then keep details or names obscured. You’re allowed to be safe and find support. This is me giving you permission to get help and to protect your well-being as much as possible. Your life matters. Here’s a link to their website: https://988lifeline.org/ , and here’s the browser-powered application for those HoH and Deaf, available for smartphone: https://vibrant.aslnow.io/app/8/10004

...See more I know its hard,  I know it hurts,  It’s ok to feel like its too much, I understand. Just allow it. Allow it to hurt, Allow it to not make sense,  For as long as it takes. You’re going to be ok. Not today, and maybe not tomorrow,  But eventually, you will come out stronger,  And things will make sense again. * noeleensaid

...See more I’ve just watched a channel four documentary about how social media affects us with our moods and anxiety and what not and it’s really interesting. I just want people to know if you need someone to talk to I’m here. I know how stressful it is if you also lose access to them because a lot of people like me can’t get out much and it’s our only forms of communication. Social media can be a good tool when used properly I just hate how people feel like it’s always negative when it can be a good tool like this site here. It’s so sad what’s happening lately.

My Reflection on My Mental Health Journey
by ZenArashi
Last post
 December 12th, 2024
...See more In our darkest moments, we don’t need answers or advice - we long for a connection. A quiet presence or a gentle gesture can be the anchor that steadies us when life feels overwhelming. Please don’t try to fix me or take on my pain. Don’t push away my struggles. Just sit with me as I navigate my own storms. Be the steady hand I can hold as I find my way forward. My pain is mine to carry, my battles mine to face. But your presence reminds me that I’m not alone in this vast and sometimes frightening world. It’s a quiet reassurance that I am still worthy of love, even when I feel broken. So, in those dark hours when I feel lost, will you simply be here? Not to rescue me, but to walk beside me. Hold my hand until the dawn breaks, helping me remember my strength. Your silent support is a priceless gift. It’s a love that gently reminds me of who I am, even when I’ve forgotten.
