Need to talk to someone?

Hello Lovelies! 🌸 Thank you so much for stopping by my bio! It’s absolutely lovely to meet you and have you here. 🫶  I know that reaching out for help can be one of the toughest things to do, especially when life feels overwhelming and you are facing all of life's struggles. So, I just want to take a moment to tell you how incredibly proud I am of you for being here today. It’s no small feat. 🌻 I want you to know you are doing great, no matter if everything else makes you think otherwise! You Are Amazing! 🌟  ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── About Me: 🌟 My name is Ezra, and it’s an lovely to meet you. I’m here to offer you a safe space to share whatever is on your mind.

Sometimes life can feel so lonely, like nobody understands, but please know—you don’t have to face it alone. We’ll get through it together. All the small steps we take matter and step by step we navigate the most challenging problems that are faced. I’m here for you, always. 💫 Please, if I’m online, don’t hesitate to reach out.

I'm so glad you’ve made it here. 😊  ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── In case you have forgotten today… You are beautiful✨, You are seen👀, You are loved💕, You are worthy🏆, You are amazing, You are enough🌱, You are irreplaceable, You are important🌟, You are strong💪, You are capable🎯, You are needed,🧩 You are wanted🐶, You are enough🌈, You are amazing🎉 just as you are🌸  ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── For my LGBTQ+ friends🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈: You are loved and celebrated here, exactly as you are. This is a space where you are accepted, welcomed, and cherished without any conditions. No matter your journey, your identity, and who you are is valid, cherished, and respected. Whether you’re exploring who you are or have known for years, you are perfect just as you are. ️‍🌈💛  ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── 💛If you are currently having crisis thoughts *wraps you hugs if okie* I want you to know that I care deeply about you.I know it may feel like you’re in a hopeless place, but you are not alone.  You may not believe it right now, but you are worthy of living, you are not a waste of space, and you are so much more than what you’re going through. The world is a better place with you in it. We’re hanging on together, and one day, we’ll see how things get better, even if it’s hard to imagine now. You’re so incredibly brave and strong, even in this moment when you may not feel like it. Please reach out for help because you deserve support—you owe it to yourself to be here. 💛 While 7 Cups isn’t a crisis site and listeners dont have the right training, I want to share some resources that could offer you some help or support: Please take a moment to read this: https://metanoia.org/suicide/ Once you read that please reach out to someone anyone, Family, friend, mentor, school, counselor, church, hotline cups crisis page:https://www.7cups.com/crisis/   List of international hotlines: https://blog.opencounseling.com/suicide-hotlines/  ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── Friendly Reminders: 🌻 Maybe some things don’t get better, but we do. We grow stronger. We learn to live with the messiness and adapt to what we can’t change. We may not always be fully okay, but we’re here, trying our best—and that’s worth celebrating too. 🎉 🌻 Your feelings are valid, and you have every right to express them. It’s okay to feel deeply, and remember that you won’t always feel the same way you do right now. 🌻 Mistakes are part of being human, and every choice you make, every feeling you have, makes sense in the bigger picture of your life. Someone else, in your shoes, would likely feel just the same. 🌻 And most importantly, love yourself, speak yourself, because: 🌻"Life gets hard, and it gets messed up, When you give so much, but it’s not enough, When the highs are too high, and the lows are too low, Don’t let it kill you—don’t let it break your heart." ❤️ 🌻 Healing does not mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives  ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── Let’s Walk Together: Sometimes, being human can feel heavy. Life can feel overwhelming, and the weight of our thoughts can be too much. Whether it's panic, sadness, anger, frustration, or numbness—you don’t have to face it alone. I will not have all the answers, but dark places are so much less scary when you’re not alone.  ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───  With love, Ezra, (Ez, essie, estre, Z, zar, zaresoaus, fai, starsie, stars, cool grandma) #hopeforhappyfeet #meepmeep #ByeByeCliques #EdGang #UnicornsForSienna  ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

 I am a kind and compassionate person who is willing to listen. My goal in life is to help as many people as possible and "Pay It Foward."

💙 Please read the “To Members” and "Expectations" section before messaging. 💙 To Members Hey there — I’m really glad you found your way here. This is a judgment-free space where you’re welcome to share, vent, process, or just breathe for a bit. I’ve been an experienced listener on 7 Cups since June 2016, and when we chat, the focus stays on you. 🗨️ How chats work * Live chats are available when I’m online and typically last 30–60 minutes * I’ll always let you know upfront how much time we have * Because of work constraints, I also offer an “offline” option: Think of it like a calm, back-and-forth message exchange You can send me messages anytime, and I’ll respond when I’m around Cups Both options are equally valid — choose what feels safest and most comfortable for you 💙 🌱 What to expect from me I’m here to listen with empathy, respect boundaries, and create a space where you don’t have to filter yourself. I won’t share much about my own life because this space is yours. I offer emotional support and reflection, and while we can gently explore ideas together, I don’t give advice. I specialize in the topics listed on my profile, but I’m open to most conversations except: Sexting, Active/Passive suicidal ideation, Active Self-harming during chat, or Homicidal thoughts If you’re feeling in crisis or unsafe, please check out the crisis resources at 7cups.com/crisis — you deserve immediate support. You may also see me around the site moderating rooms or posting in forums. If I’m online, feel free to reach out — and if I’m not, you’re always welcome to leave a message. Oh! One last thing — my favorite color is blue 💙 What’s yours? 🫖 To Listeners Hi fellow listener! I don’t do random casual chats, but I am here for all things 7 Cups–related. You’re welcome to message me for: * Mentoring or guidance * Peer support (especially after tough member chats) * Chat support questions * Help editing or polishing forum posts Just let me know what you’re reaching out for, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. 🎧 My roles on 7 Cups I currently serve in the following roles: * Chat Support * Quality Mentor * Peer Support * Chatroom Mentor * Community Mentor (Forum Moderator) * Community Reflections Moderator * Community Mentor Leader for the Listener Learning Journey Subcommunity * Global Group Moderator * Anonymous Evaluator If you’re unsure where to go, need clarification on listener roles, or just want a steady human to point you in the right direction — I’ve got you.

Not taking new chats. ------------------------- Coming, going, the waterbirds don't leave a trace, don't follow a path. I'm Charlie and I'm trained, verified and experienced as an active listener for both adults and teens. I like to support people who are struggling with something. Also people who aren't struggling with anything. And people who aren't sure whether they're struggling with anything or not. Please do not message me hoping to start a chat. I am not taking new chats. The poem is said to be by Eihei Dōgen, a Japanese poet who wrote it around eight hundred years ago. I don't know why I like it. I just do. My photo is the moon shining on the sea. There's some darkness and some clouds there but the light of the moon shines on everything. I like this too. Thank you for reading my profile. I'm glad you are here! ------------------------- In an emergency or a crisis: If you are in an emergency or a crisis—for example, if you are at immediate risk of suicide or other serious harm—7 Cups is not the right place, because we cannot deal with emergencies or provide crisis counselling. Click here for information about getting help: Get emergency or crisis support [https://rarelycharlie.github.io/howto/crisis] Listener support: I'm happy to support other listeners with issues related to listening, although I don't have any official role. Please do not message me from a listener account to chat about personal issues. Use a member account for that. To understand why, see: Listener and Member Roles [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenersOnlyForums_38/GlensThoughts_143/ListenerandMemberRoles_210/1/] Schedule: I don't have a fixed schedule. I'm online some weekdays between about 4:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. US Eastern Time. In the UK this is 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. On other days and at weekends I'm often online too, but at times that are not predictable. If you message me or tag me in a forum I'm usually able to respond within a day or two. Miscellaneous resources: For some other resources, mainly for listeners, see my unofficial companion site: The 8th Cup [https://rarelycharlie.github.io/]

Salut! ¡Hola! Здравствуйте! 你好! Sawubona! If you want to chat with me, ask questions or even want to clarify something don't hesitate to text. I am more than ready to answer questions and clear misconceptions 🤍  I have my own project on 7cups 📍HORIZONS SERIES 🌌🌄(https://www.7cups.com/forum/countries/General_2439/Horizonsseries_380020/).

It is enriching and such a wonderful opportunity for reflection and enjoyment.  I am glad to help with school work, academic question....I can help you learn a new language or know about a specific topic. Personally I had suffered with my mental health. I had been through difficult losses, periods of deep isolation, betrayals.... However, those challenges only made me stronger and wiser. Thanks to Allah's mercy i had survived them. الحمد لله الكريم حمدا طيبا مباركا  Patience is the key. I am now persuaded. سورة النحل (126-128)، وَلَئِنْ صَبَرْتُمْ لَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لِلصَّابِرِينَ (126) وَاصْبِرْ وَمَا صَبْرُكَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ ۚ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا تَكُ فِي ضَيْقٍ مِمَّا يَمْكُرُونَ (127) إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا وَالَّذِينَ هُمْ مُحْسِنُونَ (128)" Moreover, I would love to share my around the world passion with everyone; travelling, culture, history, science, literature,sports, discovering something new and enlarging my knowledge✨ It is my pleasure to listen and lend a hand!  I am doing my best to support as much as I can, as soon as i can.  I may sometimes have issues with internet 🛜 and this bothers me also. * I DON'T TAKE CHATS ON LGBTQIA+🚫🚫🚫 * Do not approach me if you are islamophobic.  * Do not approach me with unclear/inappropriate intentions.  AReine 🌹✨

Hi my name is Charlie! I am a Community Moderator and I am unfortunately unable to take 1-1 chats.

Hey, there! 👋☺️ I'm so glad you've made one of the biggest (and sometimes the most difficult) decisions when in times of trouble: reaching out for help! It takes a great deal of self-awareness and strength to recognize when you can't go through something alone. I know it used to be for me! Day-to-day, I work as a care manager for people dealing with mental health, substance use, and housing struggles. I work at a peer-run agency as a Certified Peer Specialist, also! My day job brings such meaning and purpose to my life. That said, I like to be here to lend an ear to whoever I can. In my experience, I've found anonymity can be helpful in really allowing people to connect in the most fundamental ways, free from assumptions and judgement. I'm here to ensure whatever you share falls on open, compassionate ears! Let's work through this together! 🤗🤗🤗

Hey! My name is Callie! I'm 18 and a listener/peer supporter here on 7 Cups. The reason I decided to become a listener is because I find no greater joy than in helping others when things aren't necessarily going great. If you need to chat for whatever reason, please don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to talking with you! Listeners! I am also a peer supporter, so if you've just had a difficult chat or need to talk at all about your experience as a listener, I'm more than happy to support you in whatever way you need. Whether you need a hype person, just a place to vent, some encouraging words, or anything else, I'm here for you! <3 Alternatively, if you're looking for a mentor, I've got you covered there too! A little about me: I am currently a senior in high school. Throughout my life (so far), I've been to thirteen different schools and lived in eight different cities across five countries. I love musical theater, writing, reading, sketching, face paint, and makeup. Additionally, I have a keen interest in psychology and human behavior. My favorite subject in school has always always always been math, but I think I just love learning in general (except for Physics, but more power to you if that's a subject you enjoy). Can you guess my favorite animal? It's a giraffe. ...I'm kidding.  If you are looking for someone with lived experience, here's some of the stuff that I believe I qualify for: * Bullying * Emotional Numbness * Neglect * ADHD * Autism * Depression * Anxiety * Panic Attacks * Domestic Abuse * Social Anxiety * Adult Child Syndrome * Dissociation * Self-Esteem Issues * Relationship Issues * PTSD/CPTSD * Religious Trauma * Familial Issues * LGBTQ+ Issues * Grief * Loneliness * School Stress * Loss of Friendships * Breakups * Existentialism * Women's Issues Here's a reminder that, no matter what you're going through, you have someone standing behind you and cheering you on. You're doing great, keep it up! :)

You can vent out, think out loud, talk about anything you like and I will be here to listen to you without judging you at all as I know how hard it is to open up. I want you to feel safe with me while you talk and know that I am here for you. I am: * A Safety Admin on 7 Cups * A Teen Ambassador * An Adult - Teen Listener Just know that I’m here for you :)
