Need to talk to someone?

Bio in Portuguese and Spanish - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fNTypEG5qrD1NjnFMrE7PdDV5frFHGqhTSZk1Jx7u9s/edit?usp=sharing I am unable to support topics about breakups, relationship stress, or sexual health. I am unavailable Saturday and Sunday.  Availability Monday - Thursday after 4 PM ET Friday between 10 AM ET - 6 PM ET I'm glad you’ve reached out. Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and having someone to listen without judgment can make a difference. Whether you're feeling lost, anxious, or need space to share your thoughts, I’m here to support you. I aim to create a safe, empathetic environment where you can feel heard and understood. We all battle things, and thankfully, we don't have to do it alone, even if it's just someone on the other side of the screen offering support. Topics I support Bipolar Disorder, Domestic Violence, Grief, LGBTQ+, PTSD/Trauma(Sexual Abuse/Assault), Self-Harm, and Terminal Illness What to expect I focus on being a compassionate listener, asking thoughtful questions, and helping you process your emotions. My goal is to help you feel lighter by the end of our conversation. I believe in the power of kindness, honesty, and mutual respect in every chat. My chats are 1 hour long and I support repeating members once a week. Feel free to reach out when you're ready to talk. Let's walk this journey together, one step at a time.

Hi there! Welcome to my profile! *I am not taking 1-1 chats at the moment* I very recently graduated university. I studied psychology and now I volunteer as Internship ambassador here at 7 cups. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions regarding the Internship Project.  If you are reading this, send me a hi! :D  I might not reply immediately, but I try my best to reply as soon as I can (can sometimes take a couple of days) My Listener twin: @KeenEar96 

IMPORTANT- I am currently not taking chats at this time, seeing as I am barely on cups anymore. Please, feel free to vent into my dms, however, I cannot offer 1-on-1 support <3  Greetings Weary Traveler! I am so happy you stumbled upon my little page <3 I am proud of you for how far you’ve come. Why don’t you rest for a while, I am sure you need it? *offers blankets and a drink* Since you are here, why don’t we get to know each other a bit.  I am Bunny. I began my Listener journey over a year ago. I’m 17 years old, I am Homeschooled but in 12th grade (Year 13, Senior). I use He/They pronouns, but I know some of my members don’t feel comfortable with a male listener so I will say I am AFAB (assigned female at birth) My favorite color is Yellow. I don’t like making my bed because I like to sleep inside the blob. When I am not on 7cups, I am reading, crocheting, painting, or playing my clarinet! What about you? What is your name? Pronouns? I want to get to know you, hear about your life, the good, the bad, and the hairy. I mean scary xD.  What kind of chats do I offer? =>Support Chats on allowed Topics  =>Lighthearted Chats, for some comfort or a friend =>Book recommendation/ramble chats =>Chats with Age-regressed members  =>Jeffy chats  So you are probably wondering what all of those chats mean. Well let me break it down:  Support Chats on Allowed Topics: I do not take chats on Men’s Issues, Weight Loss, Exercise Motivation, or Cancer, due to personal triggers. I have lived experience in : Abuse, Adhd, Anxiety, Abandonment issues, Breakups, Bullying, Chronic Pain/illness, Depression, Disabilities, Dissociative Disorders, Dysphoria, Eating Disorders, Family Stress, Financial Stress, Forgiveness, Getting Unstuck, Grief, LGBTQ+ Issues, Loneliness, Managing Emotions, Panic Attacks, PTSD, Recovery, Relationship Stress, Self-esteem, Self Harm, Sleeping Well, Social Anxiety, Spirtuality, and Student Life. I do take chats on other topics, just not the ones in red.  Please Note that while I take chats on Sexual Health, I do not wish to be asked on advice for self-pleasure, and or talk about that, as it is a personal trigger for me. I hope you understand<3 While I take chats on spirituality, Please don't ask about my religion. I am an Atheist, who believes everyone can make their own choices, and I support Religion.  Lighthearted Chats:  I take lighthearted chats! Want a friend? Want a cookie? Want to just talk to someone? I am your pal <3 Just note I prioritize the support chats <3 Book Recommendations/Ramble Chats-  Need help figuring out what to read next? Read an amazing book you want to tell someone about? Do you want to just ramble about how your favorite character ever did something so mind exploding you can't handle it? I am here! I would love to listen to your favorite genres and favorite books and offer some recommendations, or just to talk about books!  Jeffy Chats- Message me ‘Jeffy Pic’ for a picture of my rabbit Jeffery!  My mental health journey:  Many members ask me about my journey, and what led me here. So I will share a little bit here. I live in a mentally abusive house. I have various health issues, which cause me to be in constant unbearable pain. I am hoping to have surgery this summer to help. I also have problems regulating my blood sugar, so it will drop randomly, which might cause me to have to leave our chat, I don’t want you to have an unconscious listener xD. I was in a sexually abusive relationship for 8 months last year, and I am recovering from anorexia. Rules for my chats/Things to keep in mind:  =>Swearing is okay, please don’t cuss me out  =>I allow age-regressing, but please try to make the messages comprehensible  =>Please don’t just say ‘Hello’, let me know what you'd like to talk about  =>I have PTSD, so if I randomly ask you to refer to another listener, it is because i am triggered. I want you to get the best care possible <3 =>Please don’t send messages in all caps <3 Roles on 7cups (past, current, and on break) =>Verified Listener (current) =>Newbie Hub Mod (current) =>Trauma Support Mod (current) =>Trauma Support Forum Supporter (On-break) =>LGBTQ Mod (on-break) =>LGBTQ Forum Supporter (on-break) =>Door Keeper (current) =>Anxiety Chat Host (past) =>PAT Smile Spreader (past, although i may come back) =>Safety Patrol (current) =>LRS (past) =>Peer Support (current) Thank you for reading my bio, you amazing lovely wonderful person, and I hope to hear from you soon <3

Hey there I'm Kerry nice to meet you. I have been an active listener since 2016. 

Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile. I believe every person deserves a space where they can be fully honest about what they're carrying. Too often we're told to stay strong, move on, or hide our struggles. Here, you don't have to do any of that. My support is grounded in empathy, patience, and lived experience with grief, chronic illness, personal loss, and emotional recovery. I understand that healing isn't linear and that some days simply making it through is enough. Whether you're navigating loss, loneliness, stress, relationship challenges, health struggles, or just feeling unheard, I'll meet you with compassion and respect. My goal is to provide a safe space where you feel seen, valued, and understood. You are not a burden. Your feelings matter. And you don't have to face everything alone.

Long-Term inactive. This profile is for record of my work and impact only.  Hello there :).  ​ I'm Katie, glad to meet you!  -💙 I greatly value feedback, please consider leaving a review so I can reflect on our experience💙- Please read through my profile before reaching out to me. ​​​ ⬇️ Availability: I was consistently available from 6pm - 10pm BST, Tuesday to Friday each week, for four years with occasional weeks off!  Though, my availability is additionally signified by the markers in my profile [Green= I am active and in a position to provide support so please reach out to me! Orange= I am online but may be working on other areas of the site meaning I am not exclusively active. Red= I am not online and am not in a position to provide support at the moment].  Expectations of chats and my role within them: As an active listener I take pride in my role of providing support, through maintaining a structure within chats and upholding standards within my therapeutic relationships formed within them. * As such chats are structured to last between 30 minutes and 2 hours with me. * Experiences can be held as a single interaction, inconsistent sessions, or scheduled sessions! Within chats I will take an active role and will exclusively focus on you. * My listening style reflects this!: * I take a person-centred approach to listening, tying in aspects of other therapeutical models to best support everyone. This means that I take a non-judgemental and supportive approach to communicating, so will aim to empower you to be able to help yourself process your emotions and experiences through our conversations.  * Due to this I, unfortunately, do not take casual conversations :) Compatibility/ experiences:  Thank you for considering me to support you :)  In finding a listener it is helpful to seek someone who can provide an insight into your own experiences and outlook, by sharing similar experiences and mindsets.   As such I would like to share some of my experiences to inform your decision.  Many of my experiences fall into these categories :  -Depression -Anxiety -Family stress  -relationship stress -self-esteem -C-PTSD  Though the majority of my experiences fall into those areas they are not limited to the scope of them. I am capable of talking about almost every topic, applying those experiences and lessons to better understand you. As your situation is completely unique I appreciate every chat is a new experience, I'd be very glad to listen to you vent, provide support or simply keep a conversation☺️. It is worth noting during our conversations, though I will try to listen to all experiences, I am not confident in handling some topics so will not take chats with the main focus on them. As such if your topics fall under these (listed) I would recommend searching for another listener who may be better able to respond to your specific needs: -Disordered eating -Drug addiction  -Alcohol addiction  -Sexual health problems   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some loving reminders ( ˘ ³˘)♥ ​​-​​​♡ You deserve respect and care, feeling alone or hurt can is a painful thing, regardless of where you are in life you deserve respect and appreciation. -♡ You are capable and wonderful, insecurity and experiences can make you forget what you're truly able to do. Recognise your abilities :) -♡ You deserve great things. Don't let negative thoughts or people overwhelm you, it can be difficult to believe but you deserve a lot from this life. -♡ You can get better! sometimes when you've felt down or hurt for so long it feels like recovery is impossible. But healing is completely possible, and so many people are here for you   -♡ Take care of yourself -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My Roles within the individual and  wider community:  General Role:  * - My most substantial Role on 7 Cups is that of an Active Listener, providing a listening support service to members with a range of issues. As well as providing support to other listeners and being active in the community forums and chatrooms to organise support on a wider scale. You can see my impact in my profile.            Most Recent Roles:  *  - My role is a Trained Active Listener [I regularly recap training and am always searching for the best ways to support people]. * - I am a verified listener [meaning I passed a mock chat to ensure my quality as a listener] * -I am a peer support [which means that I am trained to provide support to listeners after difficult chats] *  - I am the host of sharing circle group session every Tuesday at 3 pm EST/ 8pm GMT. feel free to come alone :) I have hosted for over two years now!

He/him and They/them pronouns are fine with me (: Hi fellow Cupser, welcome to my profile! My name is Finn and I am a Community Moderator. I am unfortunately unable to take 1-1 chats, so if you are seeking support, please find a listener here: https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/

⭐️Proud of the fact that I convinced 7 cups to create the autism spectrum support topic and helped create it ⭐️ I'm a shoulder to lean on and and ear to speak into. I love theater art and creativity :-)

Proud triplet of the terrific trio @InternalAcceptance and @Chassymom    Former leader of the addiction support team and have since passed the torch on to @InternalAcceptance. So proud of my amazing tripply <3 Hi there, I'm AJ but you can call me vinyl, viny or fly. Welcome to my listener profile. Glad you're here with us on 7 cups.    I'm a verified active listener. I'm happy to support you on your journey and help you navigate the bumps in the road you may come across. I've driven over many myself and have acquired much wisdom and compassion along the way. Message me if you're looking for a caring, wise and open-minded set of ears. I'm passionate about helping people in need and am heavily involved in disability, mental health, 2SLGBTQ+, and harm advocacy in my local community. I'm happy to chat about whatever's on your mind but I have the most knowledge in the areas of anxiety and panic attacks, drug/alcohol use and harm reduction, autism, ADHD, chronic illnesses and disabilities, coping with strong emotions, sexual orientation and gender identity, and post-traumatic stress.   Please note that I take 1-1 chats in 1 hour time blocks. I do this to make sure that everyone has a chance to be listened to. I'll let you know when there are 10 minutes remaining in your chat so it's easier to start wrapping things up. Looking forward to hearing from all you lovely people. It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help when you need it. Through our struggles, we can learn how to harness our strengths         

Availability: 💚 Taking selected chats! Hello there! I resigned from all my roles on Cups in December 2023 after much consideration and thought. For the foreseeable future, I will not be taking member chats. I may pop in once a month or so to take one-off chats, but I cannot commit to long-term members or offline chatting. If you need urgent help, please visit the 'Browse Listeners' tab to find an active, online listener best suited for you. I wish you all the best, and don't forget to be awesome! 🤍🌸🤍 About Me Welcome to my profile! My name is Lunaire (Luna if you'd like!). I am just but one of the many listeners on this site, who are each trying to make the world a better place, one conversation at a time. I'm a 22-year-old medical student from South Africa. I adore reading and writing, and when my nose is not in a book or the latest story I am trying to finish writing at 3am, you'll find me researching and learning about the most obscure subjects. Education is one of the ideals I am very passionate about - knowledge is power, and makes the world go around.  🤍🌸🤍 My Former Roles on 7Cups Peer Supporter Chat Support  Safety Patrol and Safety Patrol Outreach Team (SPOT) member Quality Mentor Listener Verifier Project Agent for Active Listening Test Outreach and for the VL Team Listener Chatroom Supporter Anonymous Evaluations Team member 🤍🌸🤍 Please take note of the following: * Just like everyone else on the site, I am human and I would appreciate a mutual respect between us during the chat.  * My schedule does not permit me to be online on 7 Cups 24/7. My response time is usually 3 days.  * I do not take chat requests about: sexual topics/health, LGBTQ+ issues, self-harm, breakup/relationship stress/issues and addiction (drugs and/or alcohol usage).  * I do not take chats that request for advice, whether personal or medical as this is against 7Cups guidelines.  * My chat times with members can be between 30 - 60 minutes, however, I cannot chat for more than one hour. Please speak to me if you wish to chat again at another time. I cannot support long term members at this time.  * Please note that I will redirect you to another listener if I feel that I am unable to support you properly as I do not want to make anyone feel like they are unheard.  * I don't accept listener requests for chats about personal support or any non-listener related topic - kindly login to your member account to do so.
