Need to talk to someone?

Hello! I'm glad you've found me on 7 Cups of Tea. I'm a trained active listener and I like to support people struggling with depression, anxiety and getting over the hurdles of having ADHD. I enjoy 4 wheel driving, bushwalking and anything that gets me into the great outdoors. I've overcome a lot in life and would like to help by listening to you. If I'm online, then please feel free to start a chat. If I'm offline, then send me a message and we can set up a time to connect. Glad you are here!

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.

Hi there! I'm Kate. I am here to listen to you, and advise if you would like. I love when people rant, or just need someone to be with. I will gladly help you with: ~ Eating disorders ~ Loneliness ~ Life decisions Along with many others! I am here to help you. I want to help you.

Lifes not easy, and sometimes we need to talk.

Hello. I am ArticulateValidation. My listening style is very straightforward and down-to-earth, and I am committed to helping you out as best as I possibly can.

/// 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​
