Everyone is right, most of the people on this site are total TROLLS! Plus, they are also mostly between the ages of 13-18 and can't help with any real problems! I have had so many users disconnect after just saying hello. This site causes more anger and depression than it does in letting people vent. Hire a volunteer staff of people who have actually graduated high school to address people's needs! AWFUL SITE!
I went there to get help about having to exist around an old bully after years. At first all I got was bots and people asking about my gender/ age, telling me what to do. But seriously the last listener $#*!ed my mood for the day. Except from judging everything I said, trying to prove me wrong and my problem unworthy, he outright said I am an attention whore and I like to victimize myself. He was being agressive and sarcastic all the way. I only said as much as my problem in 5 words and he immediately started downplaying it. The irony is same person said how better the side used to be and that he is really sorry it has turned out way. If you ever read this, just know that you are toxic
I've been on the site a couple of times. The listeners are the key of course. If you're lucky enough to find a good listener, they'll give you good advice. I do recommend the site. I've personally benefitted from this site. Apt for anyone who wishes to anonymously (for free) and expert advice (for a fee) vent their feelings. No problem is too small. No sadness is too hard to overcome. This site is helping people. No doubt about that.
A few hours back, I was really 'frustrated and angry' with something that happened quite often in my life... but thanks to a member/listener on blah therapy I finally feel like I have some perspective. It took about 3 hours, and the listener was still as kind and patient as ever. You were great, really, thanks!
I felt like I had to do something in return so I decided to do a shout out.
A wonderful site with great people doing great things.
Really, kudos to them all!

This site was created for a good purpose, to help people. I have found that if you find a "listener" on the site that is truly willing to help you out, that its an awesome experience. I found the site while in a dark place and a listener really helped me with that. The unfortunate part is that it is available to anyone with internet access. So you will run into trolls and people that have bad intentions.
I've had a really bad day and needed to vent. The first person I got was just some dumb kid looking for instagram followers, but then I got Emma. Thank you Emma if you are reading this. I vented, let out my frustrations and moved on. I needed this tonight. You may have just saved a life. Thank you
I absolutely love this site and being a listener and a lot of the reviews say the site is bad because the people are bad but thats not the sites fault i have been on this site for two years and yes every now and than there are creeps you just tell them to go f**k them selves report them and leave
The site itself is very good, the developers themselfs know that random accidental disconnects do occur and made sure that there are ways to reconnect to the person you were talking to. The negative reviews are all about the people, not the site, i have many psychologicals problems myself, yet i fail to see how rude people are a problem with the site, out of my 10 chats at least 7 were positive, as the site is growing, more helpful and harmful people join, thats just how it works, give this site a fair try if you feel like you need people to talk or vent to.
I joined this site to talk to someone anonymously because I'm to afraid to talk to the people in my life about my problems. So I thought joining a chat would help me because it would be free of judgement & I could vent. Do not use this site, the 1st listener I connected with was nice but they just randomly disconnected with me right before I was going to tell them what was wrong. So I then decided to get some courage and connect with someone again, they started by asking what was my good traits I thought the question was random so I just said I'm sweet & funny. Lol they then proceed to tell me those aren't good traits a serial killer can be sweet & funny, I instantly disconnected the chat. Seek real therapy with a license therapist please.
I would have expected that the listeners go through a process of some type of psychological security clearance, but that is just pure irresponsibility on the part of the developers of BLAH not to do their due diligence with their platform. I'll be avoiding them now after reading all of these bad reviews. I actually wanted to be a helpful listener on there and help people who needed someone to listen to them...
I came to this site because I was having an issue with my husband. This site was a place that I thought I could go to vent when family, friends, therapists are not available. After pouring my heart out, the listener said, "take a hint you dumb f*ck, your husband does not want you!" and disconnected. It was a terrible feeling to get from a place that is supposed to be for support.
Blah Therapy has a great idea behind it, but it's a total crap shoot of who you'll be connected with and unfortunately many of those people suck as human beings or are WAY too young to be using the website. After chatting with a friendly enough seeming listener for a bit, I typed in something pretty sensitive and not something normal people laugh at. The response I got? "Go f*** kill yourself, dumb b**** hope you get raped." Definitely made me feel a lot worse--which is the trolls' intention. Just stay away and talk to 7cups or a real person.
So i'm mostly a listener on here and the last time before i left this website, i volunteered as a listener like i usually do. I started off with a simple greeting and I introduced myself (keep in mind i have an optimistic view and a more cheerful personality and I am willing to listen to what's bothering someone and help by offering solutions or encouragement or empathy.)
"lol you're too enthusiastic, i'm sorry" then they disconnected.
I'm confused? I used to vent on here but I'd get cussed out and dragged for the stuff i'd spill my feelings about, so i stopped.
So I've been to this site several times before as both a listener and a center and its a joke. I keep hoping that when I go back I will have a different experience but I'm always disappointed. As a listener I've felt better about it because I actually was able to speak and help someone with real issues... as a venter not do much... everyone I encounter is 14 with no life experience or the listener is only concerned with my asl or hooking up. This site could be amazing. People helping people and saving lives. Instead all I have is anger and frustration to pile on top of my sadness and suicidal thoughts. Thanks for nothing.
There wasn't anything genuine about the exchange I had with a "listener". They gave me super short, generic responses and then abruptly told me to just break up with my partner and disconnected. I say it's a coin flip because I am sure there are good folks out there who actually want to help. It's not worth the risk of feeling worse afterwards.
This is a $#*!ing stupid site. I would give a zero star if I could. The people on this site are not genuine, unprofessional, have no actual empathy and emotional capacity of handling people who are frustrated or vent. I had a vent about certain things, and guess what? I felt even more frustrated after talking to one of the listeners because they disconnected in the middle of the conversation as my vent gets more detailed. It's so rude and unprofessional and it would just be better if they tell me that they cannot handle the amount of vent and they have to leave. These people are so terrible and don't even have a basic social sense.
Most of them DO NOT have any social insight, or emotional intelligent. Their response are so robotic and ingenuine. They have so little empathy sometimes I wonder if they are really "getting" the reason why feels something! This is absolutely a trash site and I would argue it should be taken down because it's misleading people and make them even feel more terrible afterwards. $#*! this site and all you incompetent and stupid listeners! Take down the site!
I used blahtherapy for a while both on my computer and my phone as a listener.
I got involved with someone who seems to use this website quite a lot, and who could exactly tell my location every time. My keyboard stopped working correctly after some days. I also heard that some other listeners/ venters on blahtherapy went through the same. So please take extra-caution before using this website.
I have used it a few times and there has been a few times where I actually get decent, nice, and understanding people. But 90% of the time lately its been bots that are posting suspicious links asking for inapropiate things or real people just trolling and not giving a crap about you. This site was meant for support, NOT trolling. Really needs to be fixed my the creators of this site.
I was going through some things with my relationships and needed to vent. I vented to the first person, who seemed okay at first, but then just rudely and abruptly concluded that the other people involved did not like me. Whether they're right or not, they made me feel much worse. I didn't even get to finish my vent either. I didn't want to risk another rude listener so I didn't connect to another one.
TERRIBLE! I give up on this website! Every single listener is a teenager pretending to be an adult and a troll who disconnects and doesn't give serious advice!
Only the very first listener I got was good, every single other one has been terrible!
