Need to talk to someone?

Greetings, I am here to really listen to you. It is often difficult for us to reach out, talk to someone about our problems, or really just open up about how we've been feeling. Which is why I'd love to help you, even if its the tiniest bit of help, to improve your mental health. I aim to do so by listening to you empathetically, treating you with respect and showing professionalism. I will not give you advice but will rather work together with you and brainstorm till we find a solution that works best for you. After reading the above lines, if you feel like our chat might go well, please feel free to message me. I may not respond instantly but you can expect a response within 12 hours. We can then coordinate a time when we're both available and then have a nice chat. My roles here: 1) Verified Active Listener 2) Safety Patrol Flagging Team (If you stumble upon a user with an inappropriate username/bio/profile photo, feel free to message me their profile's link so I can flag them).

I'm a single mom of adult kids. I'm a Teacher. I'm divorced. I have anxiety. I love sports

Hey, my name is Katie and I'd love to get to know more about you! I'm willing to have a chat about any issues that are on your mind but there are certain issues that I know less about. These issues that I don't have personal experience in are issues that I will talk with you about but there might be a different listener that is a better fit for:  Adoption/foster care Breakups Chronic pain Men's issues (duhh) Religion/spirituality Sexual health Relationship issues ---------------------- On the other end of the spectrum we have issues that I have personal experience in: Autism Depression Dissociative disorders General mental health LGBTQ+ issues Loneliness Panic attacks Self harm ---------------------- I am also willing to have casual chats if that helps you. My general listening style is based on trying to ask questions and understanding your situation. If you would like me to listen to you in a different way or not ask so many questions please let me know! You never have to apologize to me about anything. About me: I am a verified listener and went on here to help people that are in mental pain and need a listening ear. I'm 16 years old and live alone in a 1 room "summer" house that I pay for by working as a teacher assistant after school. I want to become a therapist in the future and will go to uni for it.  On 7Cups I am a teen quality star which means that I help mentor other listeners. I am also a part of the anonymous evaluations team which means I have a separate members account which I talk to listeners with to check that everyone is following the rules and also give feedback to the listeners so they can improve. Last but not least I am also a part of the safety patrol which means I flag any profiles that I see breaking the rules. ---------------------- If you think I'd be a good listener for you then please send in a personal request. And if you want to let me know that you've read my bio then write to me "meow." Looking forward to hearing from you!

I am sorry but can't take any new chats right now. If things change I will edit this again Welcome to 7 cups. I believe in treating everyone with respect. If you need to vent or want support, I am here for you. I have been depressed for decades, but have found 7 cups to be an awesome site full of kind people. Leave a message if I am offline and I will get back to you as soon as I can, or you can also go to www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners if you need support right now.

Head of Content and Product Team Member  I am unfortunately unable to take member chats at this moment. I strongly believe in psychology - as a psychology student - I view our Psyches/psychology to be a key for all success in life. I believe that soulfully, we are all butterflies - we suffer from trials and misfortunes, and bit by bit, we are purified by our sufferings, until we are able to soar like a great butterfly. But the greatest thing amongst the chaos of this world, is that we can unite in the face of darkness in order to grasp the light. Conquer your life today, and reach out whenever needed! 🦋I am a verified, trained active listener with experience on several leadership teams here. I believe in the power of listening and motivating one another for success. Apart from my work here, I am a bookworm, poet, and lifelong learner. I enjoy advocating mental health and have leadership experience and training. 🦋 My journey at 7 Cups started as an intern. I graduated my internship here with honors, and put together a project on Social Media Depression (link found at the end of my bio). 🦋 My current roles include being the Programs Coordinator - I oversee the Content Volunteer Team and the Translations Project. I also enjoy being a Peer Supporter, Moderator/Room Supporter, as well as a forum-worm). 🦋 In the past, I have loved being the CML for the Veterans and Military Support Community and the Family and Caregivers Support Community as well. I have worked with great teams including the 35+ and 50+ subcommunities, and have been a discussion writer and feed team member as well. 🦋 I have not been raised or born in Pakistan and am only just recently adjusting to the culture/norms associated with the country. My first and primary language is English and I am not fluent enough in Urdu. Kindly respect that. 🦋If you are interested in learning more about the Community Projects and the Honors project, discussed above, please click the links below. Thank you!

Hi and welcome. My profile isnt usually this vacant idk im trying to think

Hey there, I consider myself peer support on 7cups. I have experience with a range of mental health concerns and I am a regular member here as well. Currently you will find me in group support rooms. I prefer learning a bit about each other and situation in the chat before going into a 1on1 session.  I am a volunteer here and will not always be available, even if I am online. So you will see an orange or red dot when I'm unable to be in "listener" mode. In chat you may ask if I am available. I prefer to take on chats that have some goals in mind. My strong suit is helping already willing people to advocate for themselves, reframe their perspective to help them through their circumstances and to encourage finding new coping skills and unlearning any unhealthy ones.   

Hello! My name is Christine and I am a Community moderator. I'm unfortunately not available for 1-1 chats.

(Updated, current month 2026) ❤️ *on a break* ❤️  ------------------------- Response Time/ PM-land access:  🌻 Members:  New Member Chats: I'm completely unavailable for new members. (Members I've never talked to before whether new or old on cups)  Regular/ Recurring/ Old Member Chats: People I've talked to/ supported over a committed time frame, I love to hear updates from you, and am happy to see your messages. But please know that I'm unavailable for LIVE chats and can only reply offline, when I'm able to. (Responses may be several days delayed) So whether you're a new member or someone I've talked to before, if you need Live/ Immediate/ Urgent/ Regular/ Long-term support chat, please reach out to another available listener in cups.  You deserve prompt support, which I cannot offer, for an unforeseeable time! ❤ 🌻 Listeners:  I'm available for Peer Support and Chat Support only when I've accepted your request either through Chat Support/ Peer Supporter request forms or in the LSR, so please before messaging me for any of it, ask me in the room, as otherwise I may not be available to respond timely! Mentees/ Coachees: I'm so proud of you for trying your best to improve as a listener, and happy to hear any updates from you!  I'm typically unavailable for Live chats, and offline responses may vary, feel free to drop your questions though, if not too urgent, and I'll respond as soon as possible! If you need a live chat, let me know a little in advance, mentioning the topic for the chat/ kind of support needed, your time/ availability in ET or cups-time and hopefully, we can schedule for a live chat sometime!  Not available for any personal chats/ PMs unless stated/ agreed to otherwise. (Due to a high influx of messages, I'm unable to prioritize replying to messages with just a "hey/hi/ greeting", thank you for greeting me, but please do share a bit about "what" you're reaching out for, whether as a listener or a member, as it helps me understand how to respond better and faster. You may not hear from me unless there’s some context mentioned.)   I'll be around, in the forums and chatrooms when I can though, feel welcome to tag me in your posts or replies, happy to see you! 🥰 (I know) Extremely slow response rate: I'm on a break from several activities/roles here, but have been catching up with PMs and tags as much as possible. Responses will be slow and delayed, your patience is appreciated. Send a follow-up, if I missed your important message or if you need an urgent reply. <3 Support shouldn't be delayed, so I highly recommend browsing for other listeners when you need some emotional support. Please remember you are awesome and not alone here. ❤ ------------------------- Hello, Amazing Human, Welcoming hugs and high fives and cookies for you! (Take what you need hehe) I am Sun, Thank you for finding me here, I understand life isn't always smooth sailing, we all have our ups and downs. I know I won't be able to solve all your problems, but problems shared are problems halved, right? Or even if not halved, I do feel sharing can help reduce the burden of overwhelming thoughts and feelings in your mind ~ your mind is not a notepad, it shouldn't be a place to "store" thoughts and feelings ~ share away, your mind deserves to feel lighter and better and so do *you* ... Besides being a trained verified listener here, I can offer you a kind, empathetic and non-judgmental ear and help you guide through these dark times. Feel free to Talk/ Share/ Vent and I'll be more than happy to listen to you, provide you with a safe and comfortable space and help you feel better in any way I can. Please do keep in mind that I can't and won't advise you, I can help you guide through the roads, but the steering wheel will always be in your hand and the direction to choose will always be your decision solely since you know your journey and your destination, the best. Rest assured, you've got your passenger seat covered for any support and encouragement always!  I am a persun who believes in the power of sharing smiles, happiness, kindness, encouragement, hope and positivity And I would love to share these with you too if you allow me to (always at your pace and comfort of course).🌻 I am pretty respectful and polite to everyone and personally do not use any offensive language including any kind of passive-aggressive/ provoking remarks, so would certainly expect and appreciate the same from you. Everyone deserves basic respect and decency! 💛  People looking for inappropriate sexual chats and/ or interested in making any sexual advances towards me~ this is an emotional support platform ~ and we do *not* entertain such kinds of conversations here. Please refrain from sending any messages, if you're here for any reason other than seeking emotional support, thankyou. 💛If you are currently having crisis thoughts (active or passive, or actively harming yourself) *offers hugs*, I know how terrible it can be to be in this hopeless situation, please however respect our boundaries as a listener, our limits and that 7 cups is not a crisis platform, we do care and therefore ask you to reach out to relevant channels of support. You can find resources here:-  7cups.com/crisis, please do connect with a hotline. You may not believe it at the moment, but you are *not* unworthy of living, you are not taking space unnecessarily, you are not your current situation neither your current thoughts. Nobody exactly knows, but we gotta keep hanging on tightly, to see for ourselves when and how it gets better because it does, *someday* and you need to be here to experience it.  Brave it in this very moment, reach out for help. You owe it to *yourself*. 💛 Feel free to send a message if you see me online (green status) and I will get back to you as soon as I can, we can then schedule a time and day for a chat or agree upon offline messaging, whichever is more comfortable and suitable for us. 🤗 At Last, remember that you are not alone, your mental health is important, you are a brave person to seek support,  you are here and I am proud of you for that.  If you give me a chance I'll try my best to be there for you, to be there with you and remind you that even if the clouds appear to be very dark at any point in time,  the Sun Is Shining And So Are Youuuu. 🌻🌞🌻 You are one Amazing human, you are important, you matter and You are deserving of kindness, happiness, support, love and all things amazing in life! It's cool to be kind, people!🤗 ------------------------- MY ROLES @7 CUPS- The most important and my favourite one is to provide everyone with a  friendly, supportive,  inclusive and cheerful environment along with sharing some cookies and hugs. 🥰 🍪🌻🤗 # Trained and Verified Listener to provide quality listening to members  # Safety Patrol  (profile flagging ) Team member to try and keep the community safe for all.  # Peer Supporter (for listeners needing support after a hard or triggering chat  or in general not feeling good about their listener role and needing a space to vent about "mild" site-related issues)  # Chat Support  (I can provide support with ongoing chats to listeners)  # Listener's Verifiers Team member  (I take mock chats for listeners under the verification process)  Want to get verified?
