Need to talk to someone?

I have gone through some difficult times in the past which are behind me now. During my struggles I found that communicating with someone that cares is a precious gift so I hope to provide the same for someone else. I have personal experience with emotional abuse, depression, social anxiety, complex PTSD as well as having a family member with Borderline Personality Disorder. I also dealt with a person very close to me who took their own life.

Hi, my name is Josh. 💜 If you'd like to chat with me in real-time, you can use my booking form HERE (https://quietmagic7cups.youcanbook.me/) to schedule a 60-minute chat. Alternatively, if you'd like to chat via offline messages, can send me a PM and I’ll try my best to respond within 24-48 hours; my responses may be slower over the weekend.

I’m here to listen and have real, meaningful conversations. Whether you need to vent, think out loud, or just have someone on the other side who actually pays attention. P.S. My communication style is direct, honest, and straightforward. I value openness and constructive conversations, but I understand that this approach may not resonate with everyone. If you're looking for a different style of support, another listener may be a better fit.  

I am an “older adult” woman, (don’t like the term “senior citizen!”), who knows how important it is to be truly heard and figuratively held when going through a tough time.  We are all in this boat of life together.  And, I have experienced a lot in my life.  I have done best when I had support from other people.  I listen totally non- judgmentally to family, friends, and strangers, because I believe the human connection is what helps us get through the trying times in life.  Whether the "little" problems or the larger traumas - and everything in between-  we cope best when we feel heard, understood, and hopeful about being able to weather life's challenges.  Compassion and Kindness are my watchwords.

Hi my name on cups is paws.  I really like helping people out so I thought being a listener on cups would be a good fit for me. What I like to do in free times is eating , films , sports , hiking, being out in nature and a lot more. i am a big fan of psychology and I a big life long learner, i am huge cat person.

My purpose in 7c is being there for those who might need me for a while, as I myself, for a long time, knew how it felt having no one to talk to.

In case no one told you today: You're beautiful. You're loved. You're needed. You're stronger than you think. You are going to get through this. Don't give up.

"I am a compassionate and kindhearted listener dedicated to supporting others through their tough times. I believe in the power of empathy, healing, and positive conversation. Here to offer a safe space where you can share your feelings without judgment. Together, we can find light even in the darkest moments."

🥀 I do my best to be present in the chat with you and respond in a way that feels caring. We can just sit together with the feelings that you're having, and focus on helping you know that you're not carrying them alone. I'm available for casual chats and long term support. I strongly believe that a trusting connection can create space for positive healthy growth, and I would be honored to be someone you can talk to and lean on along the way.   🥀 ------------------------- Honored to wear the Tulip Badge Formerly an Adult-Teen Listener Proud to have earned Verified Listener status Former member of the listener Peer Support group  Former member of the Anonymous Evaluations team Grateful to have graduated the Quality Listening Program - with honors ------------------------- 🫂 Thank you for stopping by my profile, I'm proud of your courage to seek out support, please take a hug with you before you leave 🫂

Hello, I'm glad you've found me on 7 Cups of Tea. I'm a trained active listener and I like to support people struggling with. I've overcome a lot in life and would like to help by listening to you. I’ve been through the heart of the storm and endured conditions that would break most people. I’ve witnessed things no human should ever have to face, battled both inner struggles and external forces that were truly dark, and somehow found my way through it all. I’ve come out the other side of the storm stronger. Even though the sea may feel calm right now, I know how quickly the tides can turn.  If I'm online, then please feel free to start a chat. If I'm offline, then send me a message and we can set up a time to connect. Glad you are here! 😊
