Currently not accepting new member chat requests unless I initiate the chat myself. Exceptions: a direct referral from another listener, responding to a classified listing. If you are need of support, please seek the general chat request or browse through available listeners: (https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/) ------------------------- Hi, I'm Soup 🍛. I'm glad you found this space of support 💛  About me: * My pronouns: they/them/theirs 🌈 * I'm a trained active and verified listener. * Some things that guide me as a listener are: curiosity, openness, and honesty. * I love learning more about others and talking through (not just as a listener, but as a fellow human being) what's on your mind. Chats with me are: * 30-60 minutes long. I will let you know at the beginning of the chat how much time I have available. * Supportive, respectful, validating, engaging, and reflective.  * Chats are for support for yourself, so please provide feedback on if the style, pacing, or other factors work/don't work for you. * Note: I generally only take one chat at a time, so that you have my undivided attention.

Hello there! My name is Ever, and I am a Community Moderator. Unfortunately, I'm not available for 1-1 support chats.

Current Leadership Roles: Mentor Leader for VL Team, Chatroom Mentor, Global Mod, Anonymous Evaluations Team, Doorkeeper. **Currently not accepting new member chats.** **Please read my bio before messaging me.** Heya. I'm Rain. It's very nice meeting you! I'm a college student from Turkey. I am diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Despite my young age, I have been and continue to go through a lot journeying life, so I promise to offer a compassionate and judgment-free environment in our chats. I commend your courage and strength: reaching out for support is never easy!  **As listed on my profile, I only offer support chats in English. Although I am fluent in more languages, I have taken my training in English, thus I feel comfortable offering support only in that language.** **Please do not message me asking if I am willing to make an exception.** Topics I am most comfortable offering support with: - Anxiety & Anxiety Attacks - Depression - Panic Attacks - Break-Ups - Self-Harm - Domestic Abuse - Relationship Stress Topics I prefer not to discuss: - Sexual abuse, - Schizophrenia, - Grief, - Politics or religion.  **Please note; I prefer not to discuss these as I don't feel sufficiently trained in said topics.** Graduate of Quality Listening, Leadership Development, Internship, and Inner Development Goals with honors. 

I’m not here to fix nor diagnose. I’m not a friend, nor your guide for the happy ever after. Not giving advice nor the replacement of a therapist. Just a quiet passerby, like those you see in the blur of everyday life. Maybe we speak, maybe we don’t. But if we do, I’ll hold space for your words, without judgment or expectation. (Only in the mentioned topics in categories section.) Important Note: If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, intentions, or attempts, thoughts or acts of harming others, or if you are in any dangerous situation such as sexual assault, self-harm, abuse, or any form of violence, or facing a medical emergency , please know that 7Cups is not a crisis or emergency service. We, as listeners, are volunteers who offer emotional support only and are not professionals trained to handle these situations. I kindly encourage you to reach out to the proper emergency services or crisis lines in your area as soon as possible. Your safety matters.💙 https://www.7cups.com/crisis/ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1111z8brHtY2wphqibHXoxo8t45ExFbm5K_rVimZKwiA/htmlview#gid=1239984559 https://www.7cups.com/forum/listenerjourney/ListenerResourcesMockChatGuides_2381/HandlingMedicalEmergenciesinChats_74187/ Arabic Translation: أنا مش هنا علشان أصلّح، أو أشخّص. مش صاحب، ولا دليلك لحياة سعيدة. مش بدي نصايح و لا بديل للمعالج النفسي. أنا مجرد عابر هادي و بسيط، زي اللي بنقابلهم كل يوم في الزحمة من غير ما نحس. يمكن نتكلم، ويمكن لأ. بس لو اتكلمنا، هسمعك من غير حُكم، ومن غير ما أستنى حاجة. (بس في المواضيع الموجودة في خانة مواضيع الاستماع). تنويه مهم: لو إنت بتمرّ بـأفكار أو محاولات انتحار، أو أفكار لإيذاء غيرك، أو في أي موقف خطر زي اعتداء جنسي، إيذاء نفسك، عنف بأي شكل، أو أي حالة طبية طارئة , لازم تعرف إن المنصة هنا مش مركز طوارئ أو أزمة. إحنا كمستمعين هنا متطوعين بنقدّم دعم معنوي بس، ومش متخصصين ولا مدرّبين نتعامل مع الحالات دي. 💙 من فضلك تواصل فورًا مع الجهات أو الخدمات المتاحة في بلدك اللي تقدر تساعدك بشكل مباشر. سلامتك أهم حاجة https://www.7cups.com/crisis/ https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1111z8brHtY2wphqibHXoxo8t45ExFbm5K_rVimZKwiA/htmlview#gid=1239984559 https://www.7cups.com/forum/listenerjourney/ListenerResourcesMockChatGuides_2381/HandlingMedicalEmergenciesinChats_74187/

***Please note: I am not currently available for 1-on-1 support chats. With my roles as a community mentor leader, group support mentor, and chatroom moderator I will be focusing my efforts primarily on community teams, forums and group support activities.*** It's not a community without 'u'! About me: Others have described me as an empathetic individual who strives to be objective, motivational, and empowering. I do firmly believe that if you challenge yourself to look at a situation from a different angle you will see options you have overlooked, and that sometimes even unpalatable solutions need to be seen for what they are, possible solutions. I aim to offer a respectful and non-judgmental ear, keeping in mind that my personal values and beliefs are just that: Mine and need only apply to me/my life.  I am a member of the LGBTQ+ community, some of the labels I use, or have used, to describe(not define) myself include but are not limited to, lesbian, homoromantic asexual and demiromantic. While I am open to and accepting of all members of the LGBTQ+ community, I feel my personal experience makes me most suited to supporting those who relate to or don similar labels. Now entering my 40's I have had experiences with a variety of issues from early childhood to present. I have found this can enhance my natural ability to empathize while still offering alternate perspectives. I primarily provide support for and am most comfortable with topics I have indicated in my profile. There are certain topics that I do not take chats involving, namely drugs, alcohol, detailed discussion of sexual topics, or any which contravene the rules of 7 Cups. "No matter what we have come through, or how many perils we have safely passed, or how imperfect and jagged our life has been, we cannot in our heart of hearts imagine how it could have been different. As we look back on it, it slips in behind us in orderly disarray, and, with all its mistakes, acquires a sort of eternal fitness, and even, at times, a poetic glamour." – Randolph Silliman Bourne

🌸🫧 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 🫧🌼✨

Hello! I'm Sean. I'm twenty, and I live with my mum, dad and my adorable cat. I love reading, writing, video games and history. I really want to be a historian when I'm older, and to do some writing on the side. Also, I love travelling and seeing beautiful cities. I haven't done much of it, but I'll definitely do more in the future, as soon as I get a car. I hope that we can get along well!
