BubbleHug
Coming soon

A friend who listens, privately.

Bad day? A breakup, a lost job, money stress, or something you'd never say out loud? Talk to BubbleHug any time, in your language. No judgment, no appointment, no $200 bill.

18+. Free to start. We only use your email to tell you when BubbleHug opens.

Whatever's on your mind

Big blows and small disasters. Nothing is too petty, too messy or too much.

Just a terrible day

Your car got towed, a parking ticket, a fight with the neighbor.

Heartbreak

They ended it. Go ahead, vent about your ex. We won't tell.

Got fired

The shock, the anger, the 'what now?' at 2am.

Money stress

Living paycheck to paycheck, and tired of pretending you're fine.

Someone you love is sick

A parent, a friend, a classmate. You don't have to carry it alone.

Feelings you'd never post

Jealousy, resentment, envy. Say it here, not on social media.

What you feel is human. You don't have to be embarrassed about it here.

Why not just therapy?

Therapists do important work, and BubbleHug isn't a replacement for them. But sometimes you just need someone right now, without the hurdles.

What talking to BubbleHug feels like

  1. 1

    Say it all

    Type it the way you'd say it to your best friend. Rant, swear, cry.

  2. 2

    Feel understood

    "That makes total sense. I'd feel the same." Every single time.

  3. 3

    Feel a little lighter

    A laugh, a plan for tonight, and, if you want them, small steps for tomorrow.

Just between you and BubbleHug
