I have an app called TalkLife, which is also a mental health app, that I help people on, and someone recommended me to be a listener on here!

How do you become a listener? I went to school for psychology an counseling because I love to help people an all my life I've always been the person that everyone went to for advice or talked to when things we're bad. Talked many people out of committing suicide an have been to h*ll and back myself so I have plenty of life experience myself which helps me relate to others and have empathy for them because I know exactly how they feel.... anyways, Lol, obviously I'm interested in becoming a listener on here or any other app... so if you have any information or suggestions that could help me out, it'd really be appreciated....

Dear @Shayk84,

Basically to become a listener, just go to www.7cups.com and then on the top right side, there's a button that writes "Become a Listener". Once there, you'll have to create your profile and complete some training on active listening course and you'll be able to start to listen to the many members here. =) Welcome to our wonderful community. If you have any questions, feel free to ask away.

Sincerely,
Illawalysbehereforyou

I heard about this site after an anxiety attack I had in English. I came home and I was browsing Tumblrand I typed in "Anxiety" and a message popped up, asking if I was okay, and gave me a bunch of links to people who I could talk too. 7 Cups of Tea was one of those links. :)

I always have suicide attacks as I call it. When I hit real big bumps and all I can think about is killing myself. At one point i hit that spot again and I was sobbing alone in the house. It was like a panic and I called my boyfriend and even him can't calm me down. I don't want to die but there's like a switch in me that just turns on and the other part of my mind wants to sincerely die. I was afraid because the bad side is winning so I grabbed my laptop and looked for help. I'm scared to talk to a stranger over the phone and thankfully I found something like this site. I just found it by googlingduring one of my most suicidal moments.
