Hello lovely humans! ☀️ I'm Ava, it's wonderful to meet you. Please read the "My Chats" and "Topics" sections of my bio before messaging if you are a member seeking support! . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁My Roles on 7cups: ✧˖°. 🌱 Adult-Teen Listener (ATL): I am trained and approved to support both teens and adult members on 7cups. 🌸 Peer Support: I can provide support to fellow listeners after a difficult/triggering chat. 🌱 Chat Support: I can provide additional support to listeners struggling with chats that are still ongoing. 🌸 Listener Welcome Committee: I am on the LWC team. We welcome new listeners to the platform, answer questions and provide resources as needed. 🌱 Quality Mentor: I help fellow listeners improve their active listening skills, give practice chats, offer resources and more. Send me a message if you're a listener in need of a mentor! 🌸 Listener Coach: I am on the Listener Coaching Team. I provide short-term coaching to fellow listeners regarding active listening skills, quality, and effectiveness. My 7cups Experience: I have been a listener since April 2019. I first stumbled onto 7cups 9 years ago, seeking support for what I was going through. I am passionate about supporting you with what you may be going through! My Chats: My chats last 30-60 minutes. I will let you know how much time I have at the beginning of our chat. Due to my inconsistent work schedule, I am often unable to schedule live chats, but I am online (almost) every day to respond! Feel free to send me a message anytime and expect a response within 48 hours. About Me: I have my B.A. in English and minored in Clinical Psychology. My favorite courses in school were forensic psychology and personality psychology! When I'm not online, I enjoy hanging out with friends, finding new music, and exploring the outdoors! I also enjoy learning about other cultures, and especially languages. I am currently learning Spanish (but am not yet fluent enough to take chats in Spanish). Topics I Discuss: (⭐️ - I have this/have personal lived experience with this topic): ⭐️ ADHD ⭐️ Anxiety ⭐️ Autism Borderline Personality Disorder ⭐️ Bullying ⭐️ Depression Dissociative Disorders (DID, OSDD-1a, OSDD-1b) ⭐️ Family Stress ⭐️ Grief ⭐️ LGBTQ+ ⭐️ Loneliness ⭐️ Panic Attacks Schizophrenia, SzPD, STPD ⭐️ Social Anxiety ⭐️ Student Life ⭐️ Women's Issues As a recent college grad, I am comfortable providing support to students and recent grads who are going through a tough transitionary period. I know starting school, leaving school and even starting a new job can be scary. I'm here to support you. 🌱 ------------------------- I am not comfortable taking chats regarding alcohol/drug abuse, OCD, domestic violence, eating disorders or sexual health. Thank you for respecting my boundaries.

❤️💛💚💙💜 My name is Heather (my nickname is H), and I head the 7 Cups Community Management Team. Please drop by my PMs if you have any questions or safety concerns! Fun fact: I have a bird! His name is Flip: https://imgur.com/a/7CE0WQG ❤️💛💚💙💜 NOTE: I am unable to take member support chats as a listener. To find a listener click the Browse Listeners. Listeners indicate if they are taking on new chats in their profile. The green dot indicates they are currently online. For urgent needs please join the general queue ("Start new chat" on the app) and the first available listener will connect.

Hello Lovelies! 🌸 Thank you so much for stopping by my bio! It’s absolutely lovely to meet you and have you here. 🫶  I know that reaching out for help can be one of the toughest things to do, especially when life feels overwhelming and you are facing all of life's struggles. So, I just want to take a moment to tell you how incredibly proud I am of you for being here today. It’s no small feat. 🌻 I want you to know you are doing great, no matter if everything else makes you think otherwise! You Are Amazing! 🌟  ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── About Me: 🌟 My name is Ezra, and it’s an lovely to meet you. I’m here to offer you a safe space to share whatever is on your mind. Whether you're going through something big or small, please know that you are never a bother to me. We can talk about anything at all. 🌷This chat is a place where i hope you will feel heard, supported, and never judged. Sometimes life can feel so lonely, like nobody understands, but please know—you don’t have to face it alone. We’ll get through it together. All the small steps we take matter and step by step we navigate the most challenging problems that are faced. I’m here for you, always. 💫 Please, if I’m online, don’t hesitate to reach out. If I’m offline, feel free to leave me a message, and we can find a time to connect. I'm so glad you’ve made it here. 😊  ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── In case you have forgotten today… You are beautiful✨, You are seen👀, You are loved💕, You are worthy🏆, You are amazing, You are enough🌱, You are irreplaceable, You are important🌟, You are strong💪, You are capable🎯, You are needed,🧩 You are wanted🐶, You are enough🌈, You are amazing🎉 just as you are🌸  ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── For my LGBTQ+ friends🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈: You are loved and celebrated here, exactly as you are. This is a space where you are accepted, welcomed, and cherished without any conditions. No matter your journey, your identity, and who you are is valid, cherished, and respected. Whether you’re exploring who you are or have known for years, you are perfect just as you are. ️‍🌈💛  ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── 💛If you are currently having crisis thoughts *wraps you hugs if okie* I want you to know that I care deeply about you.I know it may feel like you’re in a hopeless place, but you are not alone.  You may not believe it right now, but you are worthy of living, you are not a waste of space, and you are so much more than what you’re going through. The world is a better place with you in it. We’re hanging on together, and one day, we’ll see how things get better, even if it’s hard to imagine now. You’re so incredibly brave and strong, even in this moment when you may not feel like it. Please reach out for help because you deserve support—you owe it to yourself to be here. 💛 While 7 Cups isn’t a crisis site and listeners dont have the right training, I want to share some resources that could offer you some help or support: Please take a moment to read this: https://metanoia.org/suicide/ Once you read that please reach out to someone anyone, Family, friend, mentor, school, counselor, church, hotline cups crisis page:https://www.7cups.com/crisis/   List of international hotlines: https://blog.opencounseling.com/suicide-hotlines/  ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── Friendly Reminders: 🌻 Maybe some things don’t get better, but we do. We grow stronger. We learn to live with the messiness and adapt to what we can’t change. We may not always be fully okay, but we’re here, trying our best—and that’s worth celebrating too. 🎉 🌻 Your feelings are valid, and you have every right to express them. It’s okay to feel deeply, and remember that you won’t always feel the same way you do right now. 🌻 Mistakes are part of being human, and every choice you make, every feeling you have, makes sense in the bigger picture of your life. Someone else, in your shoes, would likely feel just the same. 🌻 And most importantly, love yourself, speak yourself, because: 🌻"Life gets hard, and it gets messed up, When you give so much, but it’s not enough, When the highs are too high, and the lows are too low, Don’t let it kill you—don’t let it break your heart." ❤️ 🌻 Healing does not mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives  ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── Let’s Walk Together: Sometimes, being human can feel heavy. Life can feel overwhelming, and the weight of our thoughts can be too much. Whether it's panic, sadness, anger, frustration, or numbness—you don’t have to face it alone. I will not have all the answers, but dark places are so much less scary when you’re not alone.  ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───  With love, Ezra, (Ez, essie, estre, Z, zar, zaresoaus, fai, starsie, stars, cool grandma) #hopeforhappyfeet #meepmeep #ByeByeCliques #EdGang #UnicornsForSienna  ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

We all carry a story within us—one filled with laughter and tears, romance and tragedy, thrill, mystery, and poetry. As a humble human being, my wish is simple: to read from the pages of the stories shared with me, and perhaps be remembered as a comforting, happy chapter in a few of them.

🌸 I regret that I am currently unavailable to take new member chats. If we have chatted in the past, you may leave me a message, however there may be some delay in my reply 🌸 Hi, I'm Faerie, 🧚‍♀️ & I'm glad you found me here on 7cups I would like the opportunity to "hold your hand" through whatever subject you need help with, whether light or heavy. I will take the time to listen, without judgement. I'm a verified listener here, in the "35+" age group, & I have experience working with adolescents & adults, (including LGBTQIA+), professionally, & in volunteer positions. I have experience with a wide range of topics, including family issues, relationship issues, dv, rape, abuse, painful breakups, disabilities, homelessness, chronic pain, addictions & other speed-bumps/road-blocks that life throws us, often when least expected. I enjoy cooking, reading, painting (watercolors and sometimes acrylic), writing creatively, being independent, having picnics outside, music (of all different genres) & sci-fi, among many other things.

 We do not do schedule chats or chats when we're offline, sorry! This means that we ONLY accept personal requests when we're online, and general requests when we have time. Hello, we are the Abyssal Collective, a fully endogenic (spirigenic specifically) system. We are also a gateway system, so we have a lot of walk-ins. We are primarily made up of real deities/entities. We will try to keep our status updated to show who is fronting and who you are speaking to.  We are quite a large system, with over 200 headmates!  While we do have Dissociative Disorders checked as a topic we have lived experience with, we are NOT a disordered system. However, because we are a system, we do still have lived experience to help other systems here. We are accepting of all systems regardless of origin!
