Need to talk to someone?

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.  

Hi, my name is Ed. I'm here to listen and support you as best I can.

...the story goes on...

Will do my best to listen and support. I have been listener for quite long time.

🥀 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 🫂

🌸🫧 Hi there, I’m Lex 🫧🌸 Welcome — I’m so glad you found your way here 💖. Reaching out takes courage, and I want you to know you don’t have to go through things alone anymore. When you chat with me, you’ll step into a safe space that’s filled with gentleness, patience, and care. ✧˖°⌖⊹₊ ⊹₊⌖°˖✧ 🌼 Availability 🌼 ☀️ I’m usually around 9am–9pm (weekends included). ☁️ Sometimes notifications don’t come through, so if I don’t reply right away, don’t worry — I’ll get back to you as soon as I see your message. 🌙 I take personal requests/PMs only — so even if I look offline, you can still send me a note. 🌸 Chats are usually 30–45 minutes, but if you’d like to connect long-term, I’m more than happy to be a steady listener over time. 💌 Feedback means so much to me — if you feel supported, leaving a review helps me grow and connect with others. ✧˖°⌖⊹₊ ⊹₊⌖°˖✧ 🎧 My Listening Style 🎧 🌿 My style is soft, validating, and steady. I don’t rush you or push you to share more than you want. Instead, I’ll hold space for your feelings, sit with you through the heavy stuff, and remind you that you matter. 🌿 I believe in walking beside you — I won’t “fix” things for you, but I’ll help you notice your own strength and resilience. I’ll ask gentle, thoughtful questions to help you reflect, and I’ll always lead with empathy. 🌿 You’ll never be “too much” here. No matter how messy, foggy, or heavy things feel, I’ll be there to listen without judgment. 🌿 I also know that sometimes the best support is guiding you to someone else — if I think another listener could help more, I’ll be honest and kind about that. 🌿 At the heart of it all, I want you to leave each chat feeling a little lighter, a little safer, and a little more seen than before. ✧˖°⌖⊹₊ ⊹₊⌖°˖✧ 🌷 About Me 🌷 🌸 I’m 21 and currently in college, studying psychology, education, and human development. Helping others is something I feel deeply called to do, and 7 Cups is one of my favorite ways to offer support. 🌸 I’ve been listening on Cups since March, though I’ve been offering support for around 4 years now. 🌸 I’m bubbly and lighthearted (hence my name 🫧), but I also bring calmness and grounding energy to my chats. I can be a little shy at first, but I warm up quickly and love meaningful connections. 🌸 Outside of Cups, you’ll usually find me watching Grey’s Anatomy, The Resident, The Rookie, or Station 19,playing sports, or catching up on some much-needed rest 🌙. 🌸 The areas I take include: anxiety, depression, breakups, PTSD, eating disorders, self-esteem struggles, bullying, self-harm, and weight management. ✧˖°⌖⊹₊ ⊹₊⌖°˖✧ ✨ My Roles at 7 Cups ✨ Along with listening, I’m also active in the community in many ways: 🌼 Verified Listener & Peer Support 🌼 ATL & Chat Support 🌼 Listener Chatroom Supporter & Chatroom Mentor 🌼 Teen Chatroom Mentor & Community Mod  🌼 Community Leader & Listener Verifier These roles simply reflect how much I care about supporting both members and listeners here at 7 Cups. ✧˖°⌖⊹₊ ⊹₊⌖°˖✧ 🚫 Topics I Don’t Take 🚫 Just so you know upfront, here are the areas I’m not the best fit for: ❌ Sex, sexual health, or relationship-related topics ❌ Financial struggles ❌ Disabilities ❌ Chronic pain If you’d like to talk about these, I’ll gently point you toward another listener who may be more equipped to support you. ✧˖°⌖⊹₊ ⊹₊⌖°˖✧ 🌸 A Gentle Reminder 🌸 This is your space. You don’t have to have the “right words,” and you don’t need to apologize for your feelings. I’ll meet you right where you are — with empathy, patience, and care. Healing takes time, and you don’t have to walk through it alone. ₊˚ ‿︵‿︵‿︵୨୧ · · ♡ · · ୨୧‿︵‿︵‿︵ ˚₊ 💬 Quotes I hold close to my heart: 🌱 “Healing doesn’t mean the damage never existed. It means it no longer controls you.” 🌙 “Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is just show up.” 🫧 “Even the tiniest bubbles can lift the heaviest waves.” Twin Listener: @compationaterainbow64  Some listeners that have truly impacted my 7cups journey, @ChillingRain @Sunisshiningandsoareyou @Jenna @AnnaSilverberg @SelfCareMatters @daydreammemories  With warmth and kindness always, — Bubbles 🫧🌼✨

“The strongest of us sometimes have the hardest time fighting what’s on the inside.” - Po Hello and welcome!

***** Not taking any 1-1 chats right now please use https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/ to find a Listener. ***** Will not take any chats with sex of any nature  I am sorry ***** ***** Current Roles *****  Adult and Teen Listener Forum and Room Supporter - for Mindfulness and 50+ Community Mentor - 50+ Needs reply Charoom Supporter - Listener support room 24/7 Mentor for new Listeners Peer supporter  I joined in December of 2017, to help those who have nowhere  to turn. I am here for new listeners also to mentor because beginning a role like a Listener can be scary and want to give back to them. to help guide them and supply the appropriate tolls ( forms, links ) to help them succeed in their role. I help also with any concerns a new listener may have. I have real fun making forum posts for topics that help in my groups Mindfulness and 50+. I think of topics and write a forum post either to educare us more or just to update on a topic of choice. I enjoy writing the post and hearing feedback from others on how a person feels about the topics . My experience on 7 cups makes me love the roles I have and new roles I may apply for. I have grown so much with 7 cups and use certain chat strategies in my friendships offline.                  

Status: I will be away from 7 cups for a little while and will not be able to take chats until I return. I expect to be back in October. Feel free to leave me a message though and I will get in touch with you when I am back.  I am an older woman (she/her) with lots of compassion, and I'm comfortable talking about a variety of mental health issues.  I've been through a lot with my own bipolar disorder so I can offer real empathy.  Please note: I don't take social chats. Also, I will not tolerate any explicit or inappropriate sex talk in any chat. When I am unavailable (red indicator) and you need immediate support, please refer to our 'browse listeners' tab to find another Listener who feels like a good fit for you. If you would like to schedule a time to chat, please leave me a message and I will get back to you. Green status indicator = Available to chat.  Orange status indicator = Online but busy. I will respond as soon as I can.  Red status indicator = I am currently unavailable. Feel free to leave me a message. "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."  - Thomas Edison

Hi! I'm here to listen and support, but I'm less active than I was in the past: if I'm not online, send a message and describe your issue, if possible I'll get back as soon as I can!   Please note that I prioritize these types of chat: - users with LGBTQ+ related issues - women affected by gender-based violence - people affected by war or humanitarian crises

Well, there are just few things to say. I wish there was no problem in anyone's life and there were just moments of happiness and joy. But we all are different. Two people in the whole world don't have the same set of finger prints, so how can we have the same set of thought process? I am here to share my difference, and to learn yours.I am here to make ourselves realise that it is peace and love that binds our diversity. Where there's human, there's freedom. So, for once, think of yourself as a free light feather which flies in the direction of the air(me) and trusts the air to let it land at a safe, secure and happy place. Trust me to talk out your heart. Let me walk with you and still make you feel better and happier :)

Hello lovely people, Currently I do not take topics regarding: depression, suicidal thoughts and self harm. Favorite topics of discussion: Conscious,Subconscious, Awareness,Mindfulness,Present moments.  i am open for general chats too. :)
