Hello! I'm a trained active listener lending a compassionate ear to those in need. As a volunteer listener, I aim to create a safe space for individuals to share their thoughts with a stranger, providing a confidential outlet for their emotions. Let's embark on this journey together, where your words find a welcoming space to be heard and understood. Please feel free to ping me whenever you see the green dot 🟢 (denotes online status) lighting on my profile.  You can ping when its red 🔴 (offline status) also but the respond will be delayed.  If you have urgent need of 1 on 1 discussion, please Browse listeners from below page.  https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/ It would be great for me if you could please write a review after completing our chat.  See you Around!! 🤗 ------------------------- Topics I support: Mainly General Mental Health, work stress, student stress, women's issues. I take topics such as casual chats but don't do personal chats. Chats are always member centric. Hence I request please avoid asking me about my personal life. Please respect Boundaries 🙏.  Topics I don’t support: Sexual health, Men's issues, Financial stress, self harm, suicidal thoughts, parenting, bipolar, schizophrenia, panic attacks, relationship stress, domestic violence, loneliness. I don't take these topics as I dont have expertise in these and wont be able to provide desired support. Lived experience: Anxiety, Depression, Panic attacks, Binge eating, weight management, relationship stress, family stress. You can contact me for these but I can provide only limited support because my experience could be different than yours. Am I open to taking on members for long-term listening support? I can provide support until we feel there is need. I am not a psychologist and just a volunteer in this platform. Hence I have my own limitations.  My availability (in EST time) and day(s) if applicable: Any time between 1 am to 1 pm EST, I come online for some duration. Green dot means I am available for chat. You will receive instant response if I am online. Else you can drop message and I will respond when I see it.

I am  Verified and Trained Listener on 7 cups since 2015. I'm 49 year old father of two children. During my life, I had overcome motorbike accident when I was child, and experienced PTSD for long period in my life. I decided to help and support as many people as I can. I prefer serious deep chat, with members who really want to make change in their life. My focus during conversation is on member, his current awareness about situation and the CHANGE he/she want to experience in the life. On 7 cups, I support members over 30 which survived traumatic experience and have PTSD symptoms. My life philosophy is that the current life situation is a result of our thinking pattern, our believes and our current behavior. If we find a way to change our thinking pattern, which is mostly unconscious, we will change our whole world. With a big effort and a strong will I had experienced change in my life. I want to chat with you and guide you throw the process of solving problems related with anxious, depression, negative emotions. These are negative life conditions which can be overcame. Few years ago I was very anxious/depressed and put much effort to overcome that personal situation. Than I decided to give support and help to other persons who are in similar situation.

I'm one among you! I have my share of ups and downs in life too. I guess, that is how life is designed to be. So, let's live each moment when things are going our way and fight back hard in the more difficult situations. Let's talk through how to do these together :)

Reaching out is a great thing, a strong thing. Sometimes just talking helps. Listeners are eager to acknowledge what's said without judgment; to empathize; to encourage self-reflection, honesty, and mindfulness. There are always choices, no matter how small or undesirable, and those choices can be explored safely.

Hello! My name is Alexia, and I'd love to be your listener. I've been listening to people my entire life. As people spoke to me about their issues, I've kept my own behind an emotional dam and slowly resented others for never asking about me. As I grew up, I realized it was a selfish way to live, and I couldn't forgive myself for how I treated others while also struggling with my problems in the past. Now, I've found 7 Cups of Tea. While I am still fighting those old habits, I now have a chance to release some old memories. There are other people like me, wanting to find some closure, acceptance, or even a way to freedom and start fresh. I may not understand every single problem a member may be going through, but I promise that I'll try my hardest to be someone to support you. I want to become the person I needed in my life and I want you to be yourself.

I am currently not available, I have a tight schedule to run through. Sorry for the inconvenience. Maybe we could fix it. Together.  I am always here to help. With love ~Deep<3

I am currently doing a career directing course to help people with their career choices. I also really love the Lord and spend alot of time serving. If you have questions about your faith, just need someone to keep you accountable or just need listening to, then message me.  It is very important to note that I do not give any advice. I am just here to listen to you.

/// Please send me personal request or personal message while I am away, I will get back to you as soon as I can. \\\ Hi there, I am NS and I am a verified listener on 7cups since 2020, if you are feeling low, if you are in pain and you want to rant out and need someone to hear you out, you can talk to me.  This is a safe place, I don't judge, I don't give advice, whatever happens between us stays between us, you can let yourself out, and I'll listen to you. I personally have gone through many issues alone when I didn't want to because I didn't have anyone, I try to be a person who I could have relied on when I went through my dark episodes in life, and I want to help you in the same way by being someone whom you can rely upon with your deepest and darkest problems. I know how it feels when life seems to be going in a downward spiral, but I can reassure you that while things may not seem fine, they will be better in long term. Its hard going through the hurdles of life alone, when faced with tough times, you don't have to go through it alone, you can rely on me, on us. Being a listener, don't hesitate to approach me if you want to talk about any topic you'd like. We can talk about anything you are going through to anything you are passionate about. Everyone is welcomed here, even listeners who might be going through something they wanna rant or discuss about but make sure to use your member account for that. I prioritize comfort, boundaries and listening above everything, if you do have any topics or any boundaries you feel uncomfortable discussing, let me know. I'll make sure not to cross any of them.  A note to myself and others who might be going through their own problems: You are a human, a flawed one. You make mistakes like everyone does, you aren't different from others. We all are different, all our problems are different but no matter how small they seem in your eyes, they are valid nonetheless. Happiness and Suffering and two sides of same coin called life. There will be times so tough you want to give up, and there will be times where you cannot contain your happiness. No matter how tough life seems right now, don't give up. You are valid. Your problems are valid. Your experiences are valid. Don't let people who say otherwise, influence you into thinking you are worthless, because most of the times, its self projection. Talk to me, ill listen. Don't let your negative self influence you into thinking everything's worthless and there's no point in talking about it, at a cosmos level, nothing really matters. But right now, in the moment, you are living, you are experiencing, so it does matter, at least right now. Its going to be alright, even if it doesn't in the moment feels so, let talk and open up and try to make things alright. pfp by wooma from shama- Shama - Utattemita/Miyashita Yuu - YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpuyx_Y_Hw0] PS- I like to give huge and tight hugs, ill give you too, as much as you want :p​
