Hey, I know sometimes life can get so difficult that we bottle things up, explode all at once, or just stuck between which path to take. I get sometimes being frozen and not feeling like you can move . I understand. I want to be able to offer support and listen the best I can , it’s ok to open up and it’s ok to express emotions

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.

you can rest here, you're safe with me 

When you've been fighting for it all your life You've been struggling to make things right That's how a superhero learns to fly Every day, every hour, turn that pain into power

Hello there! So glad you stopped by. I'm here to listen and support you however I can. Just one thing I want to be upfront about: I'm not comfortable discussing "adult" or explicit topics. I hope that makes sense, and I appreciate your understanding! I especially enjoy chatting about student life and anxiety. I understand it well and it's something close to my heart. But no topic is too big or too small. I'm all ears. Feel free to just say hello, share what's on your mind, or even just vent. I'm happy to chat!( i'm only almost 19 and here to help people who need to feel heard. so i expect respect in turn too)

Hi I'm Mohamed أنا دايما ببدأ كلام بالإنجليزي لو محتاج/ة تتكلم/ي عربي ابعت/ي عربي علطول و أنا هفهم ♥️ I'm a 25 year old guy who loves to see everyone happy! I'd like to help you no matter what problem you have I'll do my best to draw a smile on your face because you deserve it I like physics, philosophy and theatre! Also I'm currently learning how to play a guitar and video games development/design If you're interested in talking with me we can become friends :)

*ON A BREAK* Hola, sweet friend! <3, I’m Andrea! You can call me Andy(^o^)/. I’m here to be a safe, caring space for your thoughts, worries, or just random life rambles. Think of me as your soft landing  someone who listens, supports, and doesn’t judge.💖 A little about me:  🎶 I play the Piano & guitar | 📚 Book lover, occasional daydreamer | Cat parent🐾 | ✨ She/they 🏳️‍🌈 proudly queer, holding space with care🤭 I don’t chat about sexual assault it’s a hard boundary for me, but everything else? I’m all ears. When you reach out: 🔴 Offline — leave me a message, I’ll get back to you 💌 🟠 Busy — but I’ll hop to you as soon as I can 🟢 Free — let’s talk, vent, or just sit in comfy silence together Life’s messy, confusing, and sometimes exhausting. If you need a soft space to breathe, laugh, cry, or just be yourself 🩶🫶🏼you’ve got me. You deserve a listener who actually gets it, and I’m here to be that. 🦋✨️ P.S. You’re allowed to take up space. You’re allowed to feel everything. And you’re allowed to have a little fun while we talk about it. A Little Note For You ❤️!!! Hey, you! Yes, you. Drink some water. Stretch your arms. Do that weird little dance when no one’s watching. Tell the moon a secret. Wave at a random cat. Bake cookies (even if you eat the dough instead). Life’s too short to be all serious — so make today a tiny bit ridiculous. 🌟💛 My amazing friend! 😎: @Nobleseeker My listener twin✨ : @CaringNightingale — literally the human version of comfort + beauty + emotional safety🩶! and yeah, she’s in my corner. Everyone wants a friend like her. Too bad, i got her first 🤭✨

Hello! I'm Eyes. Thank you for checking my profile! I am officially taking new chats now!  - I have a chaotic family, so it might take me time to respond. - I use she/her - I am not comfortable with topics related to LGBTQ+, Schizophrenia, Autism, Bipolar and BPD, due to a lack of experience/knowledge in them. - I am a *new* adult listener who just aged over from teen side. As a result I lack experience with listening to adults and may not understand some of the issues you bring up. In such cases, I will refer you to listeners better suited to help you. I understand that this might be disheartening but thank you for being patient with me 🤍 ------------------------- Quote(s) I believe in: “When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.” ― Henri Nouwen ------------------------- I think love comes in many forms. Loud, quiet, rash, gentle. I think humanity is loving, in its own way. And to me, this act of listening, of sharing a moment with another, be it a moment of pain, hope, sorrow or elation- this is another form of love, perhaps the most important: the act of being with another, utterly, completely, and willingly.  That is why I am here.

Let it out. Let it heal. Let it process
