Still getting to know all the ins and outs of the seven cups app but a little confused on what's the difference between member and listener .... I also want to become a verified listener and having trouble navigating the app to do the training for it and I have my username but also when I applied to be able to listener I had to have a different username and profile and I got to put my picture on it now I can't find any of that that I started lol I'm a little technology illiterate if I could have some help I would be so incredibly grateful thank you
Hiya @naturesbeauty1234 welcome to the community, it’s so great to have you with us and I’m glad you’re reaching out for support in navigating better.
What I am trying to do, is to understand how to talk in the forums and what is the pecking order. Being new to the usage of this site is over whelming. People type fast and shorten names and words that I have a hard time to follow. So to get a general understanding would be nice, but if not, I will just try to follow as best as I can. Or to the same, just comment on posts for now.

I wrote more than this, but the dumb algorithm wouldn't let me post it lol
@Heather225 how do I work on regulating my emotions during a conversation with my boyfriend
@Cherrylol4201
Hi Cherry! I'm sure Heather will have an answer for you as well, but in the meantime, feel free to check out our module on Managing Emotions: https://www.7cups.com/help-managing-emotions/ It has a lot of useful information!
Hy! I am new in 7 cups.I feel stuck in my life. I do not understand what I should do. I am a homemaker. I am a mother and a wife but I feel like I have lost myself in all this. What should I do?
@ShivaniSharma
Hello! I'm sorry you're feeling like you've lost yourself. You might benefit from taking a look at our self-guided training module on "Getting Unstuck": https://www.7cups.com/getting-unstuck/
You're also always welcome to look for a listener here: https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/ to chat with!
@Heather225
Hello Heather, my name is Annie. I am a listener. I would like to add a couple community groups to my profile, but I do not know how to do that or if it is possible. I appreciate any assistance you may provide.
Have a nice day.
Thanking you in advance.
@sabeyesofblue3535
Hey Annie! Can you elaborate on what community groups are? Do you mean forums or something else?
My boyfriend has random psychosis episodes particularly to his home life. He gets these episodes once a month. He believes everything he is seeing. All I can do is say I'm sorry, I'm here for you. However, he gets frustrated because I don't believe what he is seeing. He has a therapist, but does not divulge too much into specifics with his psychosis because he is afraid of being sent to the psych ward. He has called the cops several times due to his psychosis and every time they have sent him to the psych ward.
It is hard dealing with this, as I am dealing with my own mental issues. I don't know how much longer I can handle it. He is a great guy otherwise, but this is exhausting.
Hello! This might be a silly question, if so I’m sorry for wasting your time. Is this the right app to ask for an opinion if something specific is wrong with me? I am by no means looking for a ‘diagnosis’ with anything, I am just extremely lost and I don’t know what to do! I have been struggling with something very abnormal for a long time now :’) I have social anxiety and autism, it’s too weird/strange to talk this out with someone face to face. I have no one to turn to about this, even if I was comfortable enough. I came to this app hoping to ask someone here but they seem to focus on very different topics, and that’s okay! I just don’t want it to bother any of the listeners incase my issue is off topic or a little weird
I don’t see why not, as long as you don’t take it as Gospel, and talk to a professional about it as well. We aren’t scholars or doctors (or even adults, some of us! Hehe), but we can share our experiences.
I do suggest, however, posting these questions in the forums rather than to Listeners. You can get a better sense of things by hearing a whole bunch of people’s experiences, and no pressure on a specific Listener <3
@boogag Hi there and welcome to 7 Cups. To be fair an opinion and a diagnosis are often the same, that's why doctors give their medical opinion. I can see you just joined so you may not yet be aware of our rules and guidelines. We are not allowed to give advice, or diagnose, and that applies to all areas of the site, forums or in pms. The Listeners that you can talk to will all be trained and will tell you if they do not feel comfortable with the topic, but, I know it sounds rather cynical - have you tried asking google or an AI? But really, your family or a trusted person like a teacher or the school nurse might also be a good place to start. Its horrible to worry over something that may be nothing so please find someone and put your mind at rest one way or another. If it helps you can pm me, just click on the blue butterfly.
How much does therapy cost here? What’s it like? Can you pay for a small amount of time/help, instead of committing? What’s the cancellation process like (is it easy to do and don’t have to jump through hoops)?
Not looking for stock answers. I’d like answers from people who have actually don’t it themselves and experienced it. Tysm <3
Thank you! I think it’s $150 or more per month, based on other posts I read. VERY out of my price range lol
@jesusredeemedme2425 Actually you ask very good questions have you looked here under your Settings https://www.7cups.com/upgrade/
Thank you! That’s way too expensive for me lol
Why is talk therapy crossed out in the talk therapy section lol
Hi,
I'm a newbie. I know about the listeners, chats and forums but I don't know how can I get in touch with someone who is not a listener. Is there an option to add a potential friend, or someone who just wants to talk?
