Currently not accepting new member chat requests unless I initiate the chat myself. Exceptions: a direct referral from another listener, responding to a classified listing. If you are need of support, please seek the general chat request or browse through available listeners: (https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/) ------------------------- Hi, I'm Soup 🍛. I'm glad you found this space of support 💛  About me: * My pronouns: they/them/theirs 🌈 * I'm a trained active and verified listener. * Some things that guide me as a listener are: curiosity, openness, and honesty. * I love learning more about others and talking through (not just as a listener, but as a fellow human being) what's on your mind. Chats with me are: * 30-60 minutes long. I will let you know at the beginning of the chat how much time I have available. * Supportive, respectful, validating, engaging, and reflective.  * Chats are for support for yourself, so please provide feedback on if the style, pacing, or other factors work/don't work for you. * Note: I generally only take one chat at a time, so that you have my undivided attention.

Hi! You can call me Lonnie. I've suffered from anxiety and bipolar disorder as well as an eating disorder for a long time, and have learned how to cope with these things in different ways. I love music and have studied at the university level for two years as a singer. My favorite band is twenty one pilots and I'm VERY into them. #1 fan, right? Helping people get through tough times is something I'm passionate about. I know that one of the first things that can be done to help with one's hurting is to have someone to listen. Please let me know if there's anything you'd like to talk about!

(Deutsch: Siehe unten) I only take chats within my topics.  ​Urgency first: If you are facing an acute situation like a panic attack, etc., please message me. There's no need to read the rest of the profile.  Hello and welcome to 7cups. I'm a 29-year-old female from Germany, and glad you're reading this. I had and still have to struggle with some of the things I offer support with. I hope I can help you with some things based on my experience, professional university knowledge, and over six years of experience as a Listener here. I understand you well, and maybe I have suggestions, techniques, or skills to help you. For example, I'm familiar with living with chronic pain, self-harm (stopped a few years ago), and panic attacks. I also have non-epileptic (dissociative/conversion) seizures. I'd like to exchange experience about this anytime to possibly learn from each other in managing or getting them under control better. In the following, I will describe myself as a Listener and explain in what case I am the right one for you. If you select me as your Listener and I think there is a chance that I might be able to help, I will try my best to do so. If I had to describe myself as a Listener, I would say I'm primarily supportive, reassuring, and encouraging. But despite all my empathy and understanding, I still tend to be somewhat challenging. I assure you that you have my greatest support if you choose to work with me, and I will be here for you through whatever struggle you may face. My favorite saying I took from the saw movies, which I enjoy (don't worry, I'm not a creep), is "CHERISH YOUR LIFE," and I hope I can help you do that too along the way. Send me a personal request by chatting with me or leaving me a message if: - you want to learn to live better with chronic (physical) pain/ disease, especially such that gets worse in flare-ups, or you want to know how to best support a person close to you who suffers from this (1) - you want to manage daily life better with a disability that affects you or a person close to you (autism and ad(h)d included) (2) - you want to quit self-harm (3) - you want to cope better with panic attacks and possibly get rid of them (4) - you want to talk about psychological, non-epileptic/ dissociative seizures (PNES) and possibly gain better control of them or talk about any other kind of dissociation or dissociative or psychosomatic disorder (5) - you want to chat about (C)PTSD and how it affects your life and find coping strategies that work for you (6) - you want to chat about parenting: I don't have any own kids and not so much practical experience yet, but I'll probably be doing counseling for parents, especially for children with disabilities, in my future job, so I would like to test my skills on this here and gain some first experience. (7)    - you want to chat about guilt or forgiveness. I am curious about what they involve and I'd be interested in discussing them. Depending on the situation, though, I might decide that I am not the right Listener for you at some point. (8)   - you want to chat about a personality disorder (any kind). I am curious to learn more about it, how it affects people's lives, and how they manage life with it. Yet, I am not very experienced with this topic, so it would be more active listening than suggestions. (9) - you want to learn to manage, accept, and understand your thoughts, emotions, and psychological needs. (I might decide that I am not the right person depending on what they are related to, and the chat would be more focused on the thoughts, emotions, and needs themselves and identifying them rather than what causes them.) (10) - you want to chat about faith, religion, spirituality, etc. If you wish, I might share my beliefs, but I will not force them upon you. We can try to find out what you believe or how you could solve a conflict that, for example, makes you question your faith. (11) - you have general questions about mental health, want to figure out what's going on for you, what the next steps could be, what you could do to improve your allover well-being, or if you want to find out which topic(s) the right Listener(s) for you should cover (12) - you want to discuss something related to communication or violence/abuse (any form, active and passive position) to reflect on yourself generally or regarding specific situations, or you want to discuss how communication and violence are related. Depending on the exact issue, I might not be the right Listener for you. (13) - you want to ethically or morally reflect on or position yourself in general or regarding a particular situation. (14) - you want to change a particular generally controllable (own) behavior by analyzing causing and motivational factors and looking for different ways to manage these. I have the most experience with this method regarding self-harming behavior, but I want to see if I can apply it to other topics and behaviors as well (15) If you send a personal request, please start the chat with (a) code number(s) from 1 to 15 (which you see on the list, next to the thing(s) you want to chat about) to show you have read this. I do provide long-term support as well! Let me know if you wish that, so I can see what I can offer. I offer chats related to other topics like work stress if the focus is on one of the topics listed above, e.g. work-induced PTSD, communication and/or violence, or behavioral issues at work - own behavior only.  Please note: While I have my own and professional experience with some of these topics, I am not a fully trained professional. I am in education for a job where I work with people and help them, for example, through counseling. Still, here I am only a Listener and not a Therapist. That means I can't advise you on the ultimate solution. Yet, I am glad to provide suggestions where I feel it's appropriate and consider your options together if you want to. If I am offline (red), you can still message me, and I will get in touch when I see it. If I don't take your request, feel free to message me because I might have forgotten to log out, but I will get back to you when I see it. ​ Ich spreche auch Deutsch.

Hello! My name is Cory. I am 29 years old. I enjoy sports, reading, writing, music, and politics. Being a college student, and a recent high school graduate, I know what's it like to experience the pressures of school, and the trouble that can come with these types of environments. I suffer from anxiety. My anxiety started in the 5th grade, and progressively worsened, throughout middle and high school. I have experienced times of peace, as well as distress, and suffering caused by own thoughts, and mind. I have dealt with those who don't understand what those of us who experience anxiety go through. I have tried, and will continue to try, and battle with anxiety, however it manifests itself. I want to help anyone who needs someone to listen to them, whether you deal with anxiety, or even if you deal with something different than anxiety. We don't deserve to go through life fighting every single second against a mind that seems to work against us. We deserve hope, and we need hope. I want to give people hope. You don't have to fight alone. You're not alone. There are people here for you, and I'm one of them.

"Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light". - J.K. Rowling Happy and sad are perpetual feelings and we all are born with it, there is no escaping from it. When you feel sad, remember this feeling is a part of you, and only a small part of your life. Its Okay. It's okay if your parents didn't understand you. That fight with your sibling disturbs you. Or your friend made a joke that hurt you. Remember, people you grow up with, they have your best interest, even when it seems twisted. It's okay if you feel you've no one to tell a funny story to, to not have a friend over for a sleepover, to not have a 3 am bestie. Keep a journal, fill this emptiness with your creativity. Or sleep through your problems. I get it if you're tired of being a nice friend who listens to everyone's problem. You don't owe your life to people you spend your time with. You can just be with yourself and listen to your favorite songs or watch the movie which is your guilty pleasure. It's okay if they didn't text back. Try not to overthink things. Sometimes you got to be patient and give them space too. Even if it's your best friend or the person you like so much. Love doesn't always love you back. There is nothing wrong with you or them. You can only love someone so much. Sometimes, acceptance of rejection is all you need, to love again. Breakups are hard, for you and the other person too. Sometimes the person loosely coupled with you will easily move on, but you feel stuck. And you are not alone, almost every other half of the relationship has to go through this. You need to accept that to start the process of moving forward. It's okay if you couldn't complete that book you'd been excited about if you're lagging behind your studies or your career isn't going as you expected. You have disappointments and regrets. I get it, some things are eating you from within. Write about this feeling, write how you could endure it, and how you can win it over. Things suck, you fail, people leave but life goes on. Things get worse to get better, and then it'll get worse again. Your happiness didn't come to stay, neither your sadness. As they say, this too shall pass, as all things do. This world is a happy-sad place. We all are wanderers in this abyss, and Not all those who wander are lost. "It is beautiful, it is endless, it is full and yet seems empty. It hurts us" - Jackson Pearce “Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it’s yours.”  - Ayn Rand You're unique. No piece of literature can encapsulate you, your stories, or your feelings. You deserve to be heard. So, bring your stories, share your pain, and express your happiness, I'll listen. Let's start the ripple of kindness by hearing each other out. I am not a professional but I can try my best to make you feel heard. So, text me if you feel like talking.
