Need to talk to someone?

About Me I am a passionate Sociologist with a keen interest in listening to people's challenges and providing support. As a young, eager individual, I am driven by a genuine desire to help others, fostering understanding and empathy. My compassionate nature, combined with a strong academic background, enables me to connect with people of diverse backgrounds and truly listen to their stories. I am seeking an opportunity to become a dedicated listener, offering kindness and encouragement to those in need.

hello, this is NewYorker11, i enjoy chatting with members and listeners here on 7 Cups,  i am hoping that i can take your chat sometime soon! best regards, well wishes and have a wonderful day!

Hi ~Just a human being 🌿 Currently not accepting new members unless I initiate the chat myself. My old members can still message.💚 I only take chats in the categories listed on my profile. These are the topics I'm most familiar with. I will refer you to other wonderful listeners if I sense I can't be of help.❤️ ~ "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if only one remembers to turn on the light." J.K. Rowling. 🌠 Hello dear member! I know how hard it can be to reach out to someone whom you barely know, and trust them with your life, your stories, and your problems. I'm very much honored to be that person, and I treasure it very much. I want to create a space for you where you can talk about absolutely anything! without the fear of judgement (yes, I mean it-- I will never ever judge, I'm not perfect either right?!). And let's be honest, that space is what many of us crave the most. Because I believe sometimes what we really need is a space to pour our thoughts and emotions, to cry freely, and to brainstorm ideas for improvement. I appreciate your strength to have come this far in life, cheers to more years with much more happiness and peace!  ------------------------- " There is still a joker roaming around the world.

I'm a retired hospice nurse, also have home health nursing experience.  Supportive listening has played a major role in my life, even before getting into the medical field.  I have personal experience with and have provided support for victims of emotional and sexual abuse, also those with emotional challenges, including depression, anxiety, personality disorders, and trauma.  Please keep in mind, my role here is as a listener, therefore do not give advice.  

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.

Hi! My name is Diana. :)  I am an understanding, patient and empathetic listener. Whether you need someone to talk to about stress, managing emotions, or just life in general, I’m here to support you.

Feel free to reach out anytime and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. I look forward to talking with you! 😊

Hi! I have to take some time away right now, flying south for the summer. Stay strong. You can do this! 🦋❤️🦋 Right now I am busy with my long-term members and I am not taking on any new ones. So if you have messaged me I urge you to seek another listener using the https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/  link. There you can search using the filter option. I will update here when things change.  ~~~*~~~  "I am glad you have found me here at 7 Cups! I am happy to listen to you on many topics. I have experience in lots of different areas - anxiety, depression, and mental illness, families, and relationships, love, school, college, or work-related problems, financial stress, healthy living, food, and special diets, I can also offer support for chronic pain, illness, and disabilities. I am part of both the adult and the teen listening team, (and yes I can still remember being a teen lol) and I also offer long-term support to those that I can and who are in need. If I am not online then you are welcome to leave me a message -  but please tell me what you want to talk about so we can get off to a flying start. I will get back to you when I am next able, but please bear in mind that I get a lot of messages and I will reply to the most urgent first so if you just say hi, do you really just want a hi back? If you are a teen turning 18 in the near future, or if you have already turned 18 and feel like some more support then you can apply for one of the Teen Transition Mentor Team, including me, to reach out and support you through the transition from the teen side to the 18+ adult side.  The form is here ~~~> https://bit.ly/7CupsTTM If you have any feedback or ideas for the Disability Support Community then please fill out this form ~~> https://forms.gle/EJN1SX74mo6swPwN6  At weekends my response will be slower as that is usually my time off from 7 Cups, and I may not respond to any PMs or new requests till Monday. I  hope you understand that. We all need time for ourselves to recharge our batteries and relax.  ONE STEP AT A TIME "We all have different-sized footsteps that we leave behind on our journey through life. Sometimes we can change the size of our footsteps, the imprint, the impact, the direction. Sometimes our footsteps land on rock and they do not show, or they land on sand and stay for a while, Other times they get washed away by massive oceans or powerful waves. But each and every footstep is important in so many ways. Ways that we may not even know about. Watch your step, think about your steps, plan your next step, and the rest will follow."  Listening ... one step at a time Quote of Acceptance When we don't accept an undesired event, it becomes Anger, When we accept it, it becomes tolerance. When we don't accept uncertainty, it becomes fear, When we accept it, it becomes an adventure,  When we don't accept other's bad behaviour toward us, it becomes hatred, When we accept it, it becomes forgiveness. When we don't accept other's success, it becomes jealousy When we accept it, it becomes an inspiration. Acceptance is the key to handling life well !! Butterflies are a symbol of hope that we can all change from a small brown grub into a beautiful amazing butterfly! One step at a time! "Those who never change their minds, never change anything!" (Winston S. Churchill) "Prepare for the worst, but hope for the best!"  (B. Disraeli) Pearls are a great symbol of the grace we create, for the oyster creates its greatest work of art from an irritant!

I am someone who is passionate about letting people know that they are not alone and I am ready to listen, we all need to know that someone cares, I am not judgemental and my strength is that I feel I have been through alot in my own life and what got me through it, is opening up!

Hi. Nice to meet you. Who are you, and what brings you here today?

Hi there and welcome, 😀 I’m Rosie, a verified listener and I’ve been here on 7 Cups for five years. As I’ve gone through some difficult times myself, I know just how good it is to have someone you can talk to.  As I’m passionate about mental health I’m here to listen and be there for you. Please be reassured I'm non judgemental and want to help make you feel supported and heard. LGBTQ+ friendly 🌈  If I’m not online then please feel free to leave me a message and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. My only ask is that you please share a little about what it is you’d like to chat about in your message, thank you.     PLEASE NOTE:  I’m here to listen and chat…NO sex chat.  I do accept casual chats. I'm not comfortable with sexual health related topics. As I follow the community guidelines, I do expect you to as well. If you need immediate support, please browse for a listener who is online.
