welcome @Paul06 to 7 Cups listening!
Hi I'm Dod. A bit older at 44 and have struggled with anxiety for 15 years. Would be nice to chat to people who understand what it's like and maybe make some friends along the way.
@doddysh hey Dod! it's brave of you to open up and ask for help like this, thank you for joining the site and I hope you can get support for your anxiety.
Hi everyone ! I’m Clarity and I’m a new listener at 7Cups. I’ve always enjoyed listening to others whether it be expressing their concerns or emotions, and I hope I can help bring some warmth and comfort to members seeking out support. <3

Hello,
My name is listeningeagle. I have used 7Cups as a member for a few years now. A few days ago, I decided to take a step to become a listener. I have struggled with anxiety, panic attacks, Aspergers, and relationships for my entire life. My goal is to let others understand that they are not alone. In real life, I enjoy being a nerd by playing video games, board games, and watching movies.
@Heather225 been here for a little bit, and I thought this was a place where we could vent, but somebody I talked to in the trauma chat group said I shouldn't be doing that. Does it ever get better and more welcoming here? And why is AI Counselor absolutely insensitive and traumatizing?
@thelindzchronicles
Hi! I am so sorry you had a poor experience in the Trauma Support chat. That definitely doesn't sound right as our community is built on a culture of sharing and support. Everyone is welcome here. If this was a specific user incident, I recommend reporting it (if you remember the name) for us to look into. You can find our reporting channel in any chat window at the top right under the 3 dots. Click it and select "Report an issue." Regarding Noni, I'd ask you to please do the same to flag this concern in case Noni is misfiring in any way.
If you need help or need other questions answered, please PM me anytime. I am here for you every step of your 7 Cups journey and will do my best to ensure it's as safe and comfortable and cathartic as can be. ❤️
hey, hows it goin'?! i'm dave! i recently decided to sign up to be a listener and, although its a bit slow going, its been great! ive always enjoyed listening to people and actively showing im listening by touching on as much as i can in a converstation. becoming a listener just seemed like an obvious choice to make!
@bigstrum hey hey! nice to meet you! I'm Mel, it's such a pleasure to see new listeners joining in, thank you for taking the time to listen to others! anything you need, we're here to help you, don't hesitate to poke any mentor or listener room for help!
Hello, I just joined! I'm Cosmie (they/them) and I self-harm (main reason why I'm here) a bit depressed and possibly bizarre delusional. I don't even know where to start but I want to get rid of all this, but I'm not sure how. That's why I'm here tho, so happy that I discovered this place! 😃
