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).

Some years ago, I was in a very dark place. I wish I had someone to talk to, at least so that I could feel less lonely in this world. I've overcome a lot of struggles completely alone, but now I'm here to be the help I've never had. Everyone should use some help fighting their struggles, and that's why I'm here: I want to help you by listening to you and giving you all the support I can give. 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 contact. Glad you are here! Please don't ask me for sex chats, my personal phone number or social media profiles. I've been asked too many times and I always refused because of some past experience, so I'd rather you didn't ask. Thank you.

(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?

Giving is receiving in life. I tend to prioritize human relationships over anything else & have a hunger for understanding how our complex brains work.

I’m a scientist and globetrotter. I’ve lived in many countries, traveled far and wide- I speak 6 languages and I love cooking/baking. I’m a new mom so I know the struggles of early motherhood and I’m here to help other moms navigate the challenges or to just listen to them vent when they need. 

🙏🙏🙏🙇‍♂️🌻 । जय जिनेन्द्र । 🌻🙇‍♂️🙏🙏🙏 🙏🙏🙏🙇‍♂️🌻 Jai Jinendra 🌻🙇‍♂️🙏🙏🙏 🕉️ You are important and you have got this! 💙 And today is the first day of the rest of your life! 💖🪻🌸🌻 Don't get so involved into anything, that you forget to be ready for inhibitions... Inhibitions always be welcomed.... There is no way to control things to be so accurate that they get beyond the effect of karma on them... The more we are ready for inhibitions, the more open minded we become... ✨🌺🌻🏵️🌸✨ Everything is temporary so let it go, that bad feeling and negativity is worthless which doesn't let us observe, test and discover the good virtues in ourself and others and doesn't let us refine ourself! 💖 Pain is the final level of a game which is ofcource temporary and those who manage to live through it with spirit, THRIVE!! 💖 And ofcource in very simple words but very strong message - 💪🏻 No Pain No Gain 💪🏻 ~ My favourite Quotes ~ 🧡💛💜❤️💙 "If you want to walk fast walk alone, but if you want to walk far, walk together" Ratan Tata "Your beliefs become your thoughts, your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions, your actions become your habits, your habits become your values, your values become your destiny" Mahatma Gandhi  🏵️🌻🌺🌼🌸🪷🌷🌹🌻💠 "The average person thinks 60,000-70,000 thoughts every day, and 90% of those thoughts are the exact same thoughts as the day before. If you believe that your thoughts have anything to do with your destiny, if 90% of your thoughts are the same as the day before, then your life will stay the same. The reason that your life will stay the same, is that the same thoughts lead to the same choices; the same choices lead to same actions; the same actions lead to the same experiences; and the same experiences create the same emotions. By the same means, if you learn new information, wire it in your brain, and decide to use that information, you will naturally have new thoughts that lead to new choices. New choices lead to new behaviors, which create new experiences. New experiences produce new feelings and emotions, which influence new thoughts. That is evolution" 🏵️🌻🌺🌼🌸🪷🌷🌹🌻💠

💕Retired, Married, & Loving It 💕  🚨 IMPORTANT 🚨  ♥️Until further notice♥️ 💚NO LONGER taking NEW or LIVE CHATS 💚 ✅Housekeeping Rules ✅Must Completely Read  My Bio Before Chatting with Me  You can leave me messages in between chats and I will check back with you.  All conversations are held in strictest confidence!    ⭐️ ⭐️Listener for members 35+ Preferred⭐️⭐️ 💕💕💕Accepting Long Term Members 💕💕💕 I reserve the right to NOT listen to RUDE or DISREPECTING members. I am just a volunteer verified listener. I may refer you to other listeners depending on TOPIC or AGE.  “Do not lose hope, please believe that there are a thousand beautiful things waiting for you. Sunshine comes to all who feel rain”  If you found our chat to be supportive and helpful, please leave a review! Thank you in advance! Please don’t reach out if you’re wanting an inappropriate chat!   💕There's no need to be perfect to inspire others. Let others get inspired by how you deal with your imperfections. 💕 ☕️☕️☕️☕️Love this analogy!☕️☕️☕️☕️ You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, causing you to spill your coffee everywhere. Why did you spill the coffee? ""Because someone bumped into me!!!" Nope. You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup. Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea. Whatever is inside the cup will spill out. So...when life shakes you (and it WILL), whatever is inside you will come out. The big question is "'What's in MY cup?" When life gets tough, what spills over? Joy, appreciation, love, acceptance? Hostility, anger, judgement, harsh words and exhaustion? Life provides the cup, YOU choose how to fill it. Especially right now, it's so important to make sure we fill our cups with the good stuff - forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation; and kindness and love for others. 7Cups For the Searching Soul FREE Kindle https://www.amazon.com/7-Cups-Searching-Soul-7Cups-ebook/dp/B01BFWMCXY [https://www.amazon.com/7-Cups-Searching-Soul-7Cups-ebook/dp/B01BFWMCXY] ⁉️TAROT One Question One Card ⁉️ 🎆Informs a Question & Shows Another Perspective Through Your Eyes 👀 Only --My Status Information!-- Red: I am NOT likely online, so shoot me a message!  Orange: I am definitely online, and am answering PMs!

Hi! Welcome to my profile and 7 Cups! My name is Sel! I am really passionate about helping others, especially people who have mental health conditions. I've wanted to help people for as long as I can remember.  Even though I identify as a Catholic and have she/her pronouns, I am respectful of all cultures, religions and pronouns. I love to learn about these topics as well! This is a SAFE SPACE for everyone of all pronouns, sexual orientations, religions, and ethnicities!  Honestly, I'm doing this because I genuinely care and I want to make a difference in people's lives. This is your sign to give it time. Life is always changing. Unfortunately, I do not feel comfortable talking about sexual health and casual chats. There are many listeners who are though! If you sent me a personal request and I'm busy, leave me a little message if you can and I'll get back to you! If you are in a crisis, please call these numbers Canada: 833-456-4566 USA: 1-800-273-TALK (8255) (If you are in another country and these don't work, send me a personal request and ask for the number, I will do my research and give it to you). 

Letter to Every Shattered Soul: There's a strong bounding between Body and soul... If Body effects by something, it causes us to do abnormal behaving by a physical appearance... We take medicine treatment and therapies for recovering... But if a soul get effects by any incident or reasons... It may effect also our mental health... It needs a soulful treatment to managing it, and religious supplications really helps to empower soul and body both... Inner and outer peace of our lives.. We are human we are connected with nature.. And the biggest connection of ourselves..is with our Own Creator... Allah subhanahu wa tala Created His creation in a really beautiful mannar... Allah (God) knows best , what are His Servants needs ... Remembering Him in a time... When no one hears, help, and support... But Allah does... It make us feels that we aren't alone in this whole world... The connection between Creator and His creation really means alot. It really helps to recover our sorrows, saddnes and un balanceness in our life .. There's no beautiful feeling more thn this that a broken person speak to Almighty... With love and emotions, and a person must know ..that His Lord , listening... Understanding..and answering ..by changing the worse things of my life into good... ♥ 1 of My Favorite Verses of the Quran: Change Bad with Good, Surah fusselat 30. Surely, those who say: “Our Lord is Allah,” and then go straight, the angels will descend upon them: “Do not fear, and do not grieve, but rejoice in the news of the Garden which you were promised. 31. We are your allies in this life and in the Hereafter, wherein you will have whatever your souls desire, and you will have therein whatever you call for. 32. As Hospitality from an All-Forgiving, Merciful One.” 33. And who is better in speech than someone who calls to Allah, and acts with integrity, and says, “I am of those who submit”? 34. Good and evil are not equal. Repel evil with good, and the person who was your enemy becomes like an intimate friend. 35. But none will attain it except those who persevere, and none will attain it except the very fortunate. 36. When a temptation from the Devil provokes you, seek refuge in Allah; He is the Hearer, the Knower. This is my Favorite poetry fromm Allama Muhammad Iqbal, What effects my Life: لکھنا نہیں آتا، تو میری جان، پڑھا کر، If you don't know how write, Thn O' soul do Read, ہوجائے گی تیری مشکل آسان، پڑھا کر، Your all Difficulties will be solved, Do Read, لاریب، تیری روح کو تسکین ملے گی، O Sparkling Star, Your soul will be satisfied, تو کرب کے لمحات میں ،قرآن پڑھا کر ، When you feel distress, there is Qur'an, do Read, پڑھنے کہ لیے گر تجھے کچھ نہ ملے تو، Nd yet, You don't find else to read, چہرے پہ لکھے درد کے عنوان پڑھا کر، Then see the painful faces of poor , do read. اے انساں، آجائے گا تجھے جینے کا قرینہ، O Human' you will get learn the best way of living, تو سرورِ کونین ﷺ کے فرمان پڑھا کر. Just the Sayings of RasulAllahﷺ, do read.

Hi, I welcome you on my profile. I am an ear you can trust on about your stories. I am here to support you by hearing. Have a great experience on 7 cups.

✨💫For members💫✨ Hello my valuable members, it’s my pleasure to have the opportunity to listen to and support you. My role here is to help you make decisions that feel right and meaningful in your life. I’d really appreciate it if you could take a moment to read the information below to get to know me better 😊 🔷 I am a trained and verified listener. 🔷 I had 3 years experience in Customers Service. With this experience, I believe I can be a supportive and understanding listener. My empathy and life experiences also help me better understand different perspectives and what you may be going through. Please note that I won't take these types of chat: ❌Sexual health    ❌Addiction    ❌Self - harm   ❌Break up  ❌LGBT My online schedule is from 10:00PM to 5:30AM, Monday to Friday (EST time). If I’m not online, please feel free to leave me a message. I’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you for your time and consideration. 😊 🔹💙For listeners 💙🔹 Dear my all fellow listeners,  I was once new too, so I truly understand how challenging it can be to get everything flowing smoothly at the beginning. And life can be overwhelming sometimes. That’s exactly why I’m here, to offer you support. As a Peer Support, there are certain things I can and cannot help you with. Please take a moment to read this before messaging me: 🚩What I can support you with: • Providing a safe and confidential space for you to express your feelings if a chat or situation on the platform has made you feel triggered or upset. • Sharing self-care ideas when you need a break.  • Giving relevant resources. • Offering encouragement and motivation. 🚩What I can not support you with: • Personal matters (this should be addressed using your member account only). • Pointing out mistakes or helping you improve your listening skills (this is the role of a mentor). • Triangulating or sharing information with other users. Everything remains confidential between you and me unless you indicate that you are in crisis. • Assisting with ongoing chats (this falls under the responsibility of Chat Support). In the end, we are all human, and we choose to be here to make the world a little lighter. There’s no right or wrong, just what fits and what can be gently adjusted. And I’m grateful that, among so many paths, you chose kindness. That choice matters more than you may realize. Please hold pride in who you are and the path you’ve chosen. And whenever doubt appears, remember this: choosing kindness is never a mistake. 💖
