Need to talk to someone?

Hey there, I'm Alex. I'm a law enforcement officer and a first-year psychology student. I’ve been through treatment for a variety of different diagnoses, including dysthymia, cyclothymia, and a suspected diagnosis of borderline personality disorder. I will try my best to be there for you :-)

My name is Emily, I am a case work student who believes in treating all people with love and kindness. I am here as a friend and a listener to help anyone who may be struggling, and I too, know what it's like to battle mental health issues. For 25 years I battled undiagnosed bipolar 1 disorder with psychosis and I also have ADHD and autism spectrum. Further, I witnessed and supported my twin with schizophrenia and dissociative identity disorder.  I admire you for coming as far as we have now. I also encourage those who are struggling to seek help, even though it may be difficult. In my free time I like to listen to Christian music, garden, and create homeless bags. When you come to me, you become family - my brothers and my sisters. I love you all deeply. Ps. If you feel heard and supported please feel free to leave a good review (only if you want) ♡♡

Hello! 😀 My name is imad and I am here to offer support and listen carefully. I am deeply interested in psychology and helping people through open conversations. Through my own experiences with anxiety, I have learned how important it is to talk about our challenges. I believe that hope has the power to change our perspective on difficulties and that any challenge becomes easier when shared with someone who listens without judgment. I am here to help you find light in difficult times and to provide you with a safe space to discuss whatever is bothering you. I am open to any topic and look forward to our conversations! 😊 🗣️I am open to meetings and invite new members to contact me so that we can work together on your journey of self-help and understanding💬 👍I would appreciate it if you would leave a rating and review after the conversation, your comments mean a lot to me and motivate me to continue supporting⭐ 👥 Statuses on my profile: 🟢 Online - I am also available here to listen.

I am a very out going person with a lot of life experience who loves to lend his ear and help anyone I can.

Life can be tough sometimes, and it's okay to feel lost or alone. It takes courage to reach out for help, and I want you to know you've taken a big step by considering chatting.  I have been where you are and know how it feels to be misunderstood and marginalized.

No matter what you're going through, whether it's depression, anxiety, loneliness, finances, break-ups, or bullying, I'm here to listen and offer a safe space to talk about your feelings.  I know it's not always easy to trust someone with your thoughts and emotions, but I want you to know I will always listen with empathy and compassion. I will not judge you and always keep our conversations confidential.   When we chat, we'll talk about whatever is on your mind, and I'll provide you with the support and guidance you need to move forward. Together, we'll work through your struggles and help you find a way to live your life to the fullest.   So, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.  I am here for you, and I am ready to listen and support you through whatever struggles you're facing. Take care, and I look forward to chatting with you soon. A Heartwarming Experience with "JustMeForYou" A Sweetheart and a Fantastic Listener! With 50 years of listening experience, Chris deserves sincere appreciation for the exceptional qualities he brings to this platform. His non-judgmental approach, coupled with a profound sense of empathy and compassion, sets him apart and, in my experience, may place him among the very best. Chris has an extraordinary talent for uplifting spirits, offering invaluable guidance, and providing the support needed to navigate life's peaks and valleys. I am deeply grateful for all he has done for me. His genuine care and steadfast support have made a real difference, and I feel fortunate to have connected with such an exceptional listener. She was 92.  We cried together.  It was a happy cry. I want to share a true story with you that has shown me the incredible power of compassion. Recently, I visited a nursing home where I met a 92-year-old woman who felt lonely, scared, and depressed. As we spoke, I realized she needed connection with another person, someone who could offer comfort and companionship. At her request, I read a children's Bible.  As we read, I held her hand. We cried together, and in that moment, I felt her pain, but I also saw hope in her eyes. It was a small gesture, but it made a significant impact. By simply showing her kindness and compassion, I connected with her and brought some comfort.   It was an incredibly moving experience that reminded me of the importance of reaching out to those who may be lonely or isolated.  Seeing how a small act of kindness can instantly turn someone's day around is incredible.   So, if you can visit someone who is lonely or depressed, I encourage you to do so. Your presence and compassion can make all the difference, even if it's just for a short time. Let's spread kindness and love wherever we go and improve the world - one person at a time. My Happiness Philosophy When I was a little boy, around 11 or 12 years old, I experienced a sense of sadness that lingered for several weeks. My parents noticed my distress and approached me with concern, hoping to understand better what was troubling me. Despite their efforts, I struggled to pinpoint the root of my feelings and underwent several medical tests that yielded no answers. Something was clearly amiss, and I felt lost and disconnected from my usual self.  I turned to my mother for guidance, and she suggested I try reaching out to help someone in need. At such a young age, this was a challenge for me, but my mother encouraged me to offer my time and assistance to our neighborhood veterinarian by walking their dogs after school and on weekends, free of charge.   As it turned out, this simple act of kindness transformed my life and set me on a path of helping others. Over the years, I have expanded my efforts from animals to people and served as a listener and mentor for over 50 years. Even in retirement, I have plenty of free time to keep supporting those in need through systems like 7Cups and in my community. I'm grateful to have found purpose and fulfillment in helping others, and it brings me great joy to know I can make a positive difference in the lives of those around me.

Hi there! I’m here solely for the purpose of helping you, so don’t hesitate. Reaching out is never easy, but you’re here so I’m glad. You’re one step closer to being better than ever. Good day :)  

Hi! I have been through my fair share of trauma and emotional abuse. I was brought up by highly toxic parents, bullied as a kid, been in relationships with narcissists, amongst other experiences. I'm here to give to others what I wish I had for myself when I was going through all that: a caring non-judgmental friend who is here to listen and to be there for you. No matter what you're going through, you will only receive empathy, love, and acceptance here. I love 7cups. People who come on here are people who are taking a step in the right direction. They are honest with themselves, and are taking steps to heal by sharing their emotions and feelings instead of quashing them and letting them fester. I have met the most incredible people on here and value everyone's own unique story. It is my small way of making this world a little bit of a better place. I cherish the friendships I have made on here already, and I can't wait to meet you as well! (Profile Pic: "River of Life" by Leonid Afremov.)

My pronouns are She/Her I Major in Psychology and Minor in Music  I am in 2 choirs as well as being a solo vocalist  My Personality type is ENFP-Campaigner When not cupsing, I'm either in the gym, traveling, listening to music or trying out a new restaurant! My Listening Style!  My chats normally last 30-45 minutes and I will provide a space where you can vent and just let out any feeling and emotions that might be weighing you down HOWEVER I will not give you advice nor the answers to your problems, but I can guide and support you on your journey to find what you're looking for! Roles Verified listener QLP Graduate with honors Chats! I'm fine with most chats because I don't have many triggers, I do take long term member chats, so if that's something you're interested in, please let me know! But because I know nothing about and/or am interested in, I do not take the following chats: Anything Sexual, Men's Issues, Financial Stress 😬 (If you would like to chat about those, you can find a more suitable listener here: https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/ My Availability! Green: I am free to chat please feel free to shoot me a message Orange: I am a little busy but still feel free to shoot me a message, although I may be slow with answering Red: I am Unavailable to chat but If you still do message i'll get back to you as soon as I can I am mainly online in the morning and late at night during the week You may sometimes catch me on the weekend, who knows...  I am always open to feedback, so please if you wish to, leave me a review/rating!!! updated 10/27/26

Hello! 🍂🐺 You can call me October, Tobey, or Otti 🤗 I'm new here, so I've yet to figure out the rhythm I'm comfortable with. It'll also take me a bit to get the hang of things. If you can, please 🐻 with me. The first thing you need to know about me is that my pronouns are she/her, and that I'm autistic 🌂🌷 There are a couple of things you'll notice I struggle with: ✶ I tend to take things at face value —this means literally. It's okay if we don't understand each other at first; we can always clarify things, ask questions, and, well, sometimes it can be a bit funny! 🤭 ✶ Although I'm big on humor, it's very hard for me to pick up on it 👉👈 So please don't take it personally if I completely miss a cue, a joke, a pun... or if I don't find it funny. ✶ I don't do well with pressure 🫠 I'll gladly provide as much of my energy as I'm comfortable giving, but I require time to recharge. Human interactions, especially the ones we have here, which can be dense, loaded, and between complete strangers, drain me quite fast ⏰🐸 ✶ Which brings me to my next point: if you could be so kind as to let me acclimate to you and the conversation you want me to participate in, I'd be grateful 💗 I need to learn how you operate and express yourself before I'm able to accompany you in ways that suit you 🥰 ✶ I can only focus on one chat at a time. You'll notice my status changing from online to busy based on that. You're more than welcome to message me! I'd appreciate your patience if you do so while my status indicates I'm busy —as soon as I'm available, I'll reply 🐌📩 If a minor wishes to contact me, please know that all I'd be able to provide is guidance, a listening ear, comfort, and as much knowledge as I'm able to. I don't believe people come here to make friends, but just in case, I wanted to clarify where I stand. Discussing sex is completely out of the question. I tried being available for analytical conversations, where the focus is trauma, sexual health, seeking knowledge, and so on, but every single person who brings up the topic is a dude, and a dude who wants to turn the chat into something entirely inappropriate. I'm done with the whole situation. For now, that's it! Thank you for taking the time to read my bio 🐳🍄🍁🐴

Hi there,  My name is Bunny :) I hope your doing well.  Its nice to meet you and welcome! Life is not easy for all of us. We all go through ups and downs, we all fall sometimes, we all go through rough times. The world doesnt treat us kindly. But we can be here for each other, and treat each other with kindness and respect whilst we are here. I am here to listen to you and I appreciate you being here, it takes alot of courage and strength to reach out and talk about issues in our lives. We all struggle at some point, wheather it be in our teenage years, adult years or when we are older, and sometimes we just need a listening ear to be there and comfort you. There is no pressure in my chats to share anything you are uncomfortable with, and I would love to speak to you!  I am so proud of you for coming this far and being here today, because it takes alot to just exist at times. Feel free to message me :) I will be taking long term chats! I would love to listen to all issues but due to the lack of knowledge/personal reasons I cannot take issues on: Cancer, Sexual Health, LGBTQ+ Issues, Men's Issues, Parenting Thank you for understanding! Please respect that as a listener I have boundaries and my own self respect so if you decide to disrespect I will report any behaviour as such. If you are in a crisis please refer to crisis resources.  Bunny :)

Hey there and welcome! Glad you found me on 7 Cups. I would love to assist in any way that I can, however, there are a few things to address:  - If what you wish to discuss is an issue related to sex or pleasure (or trying to RP in any capacity), I will reject your request. I am ace (asexual), and even more than that, I have personal boundaries that will not be crossed. Do not reach out just to tell me that my sexuality, or other people's sexualities, are not valid. However, if you want to talk to me about sexuality, I am more than happy to have a conversation! Be respectful to others!  -  The subjects listed as those I cover, I have personal experience and/or am comfortable helping you with; however, there are also those I don't have the knowledge base to aid with or am uncomfortable speaking with (again, sexual topics, self-harm, abuse, etc.). Please consider that if you send me a personal request.  - If at any time you feel as though a different listener would be better, let me know, and we can either end the chat or I will help you find someone else. I will not be offended, as not everyone connects with the first person they try to talk to. Understand that I will do the same if I feel I am not qualified or a situation arises that brings me discomfort. My comfort as a listener matters, too. Do not abuse my kindness or the kindness of others here.  About me!  - I work in the natural resource sphere in the US, and believe there is quite a bit of value in open communication and taking care of your mental health. Those affected by current administration, don't hesitate to reach out, I'm angry, too.  - As mentioned before, I'm Ace! Specifically, demisexual. Hit me up if you want to discuss sexuality! I also discuss topics on gender, transitioning, dysmorphia, etc. Those in this space who are also being affected by the current administration, I hear and see you.  - I have an anxiety disorder! Fun stuff, to be sure. So, if you want to learn more about anxiety and how to potientally manage yours or look into resources, reach out. Thanks for the read! And, I hope we can help you out here! Ash (she/her)
