...See more For example, The Perks of Being a Wallflower really helped me. I really liked how even in an unknown strange place there are people who are willing to accept you and help you. I love Heroes song from that movie. It gives me hope.

...See more hello, i'm 19F and identify as South Asian. I've been struggling with depression and anxiety the past years since covid and I'm not sure where to find support spaces that share the same struggles as me. i find that most of my struggles come from my minority background and how i have dealt with it. i've depended on friends for support and to an extent, family members, but i feel i've exhausted the support of my friends that they're tired too. i am seeing a therapist, however i am also looking for others who are on a similar journey. i wonder if there's anyone out there. if it is possible, can anyone link people of color mental health resources, support groups, etc? i've done a few searches and only found nami's asian american support group to be active so far. i do know there are social media like reddit who have subreddits to post and read in, but im not sure if i want to lean into social media sites for support (If reddit counts as one). thank you for reading.

Racism & Suicide

...See more I finally found something as proof that racism is damaging on suicide.org http://www.suicide.org/racism-and-suicide.html Usually when I bring up racism here on 7cups, Im brushed off because its not that big of a deal right? WRONG! WRONG WRONG!!!!! I have suffered from social anxiety first and foremost because of the racist country I was raised in and still live in today. The fear of being different and being hated for it. This fear has affected my relationships to the point where I developed depressed. This ofcourse occurred when I was around 10 years old. Now that im 25 and totally alone due to my issues, the least I can do is bother the people whos intolerance has led me to be so unhappy.

...See more Greetings community! The realm of "Thinking - Cognitive Skills" involves critical aspects such as Critical Thinking, Complexity Awareness, Perspective Skills, Sense-Making, and Long-term Orientation. Let's explore how these skills contribute to our ability to process information, make decisions, and view the world with a broader perspective. Discussion Questions: * How do you practice critical thinking in your daily life, especially when encountering diverse perspectives or information? * Share an experience where a long-term orientation or visioning mindset has influenced your decisions or goals. Let's engage in a thoughtful discussion about the cognitive skills that shape our understanding of the world!
