(Inactive, on a break. Expect very slow responses please. ) https://www.7cups.com/forum/generalsupport/General_2440/Lavsupdatesthread_266226/?p=3 *spots a nice human* Hey there! I've dealt with a lot, and I want to let you know that if you are dealing with a lot too, you are not alone. It helps to just talk about stuff!!! Feel free to reach out and talk to someone-it helps. Please see- I am sorry if I am unavailable while you are reading this, so please talk to another listener [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/] if you want support now. Or if you want you can drop me messages and I'll reply within 48 hours. I am here for you! 💜I am now an ATL so both teens and adults can message me💜 Please note- I am generally unavailable for casual chats. 💜   💜💜Let's make it a happier place for everyone!!💜💜 Quick note- I am no longer an ambassador. For any VL related queries, please reach out to @ASilentObserver [http://7cups.com/@ASilentObserver] I can talk about most topics. Chats I am uncomfortable with- Self harm, a member under influence, parenting (like I'm uncomfortable talking about things from a parental point of view. If you want to talk about your parents, that's okay) Members- Please go through the first part of my bio before sending me a message/request (I've indicated till where). If that seems like a lot you can simply read the highlighted and underlined portions I chat for not more than 45 minutes at a time. I am here to listen compassionately and without judgement. The chat will be confidential.💜💜 I can talk about all topics except self harm and parenting. (You can talk about your parents, but not about your kids please).💜 I am uncomfortable chatting about self harm (due to personal reasons) If you want to talk about it please contact another listener. Also if you are thinking about doing it now then please contact a crisis resource 7cups.com/crisis [https://www.7cups.com/7cups.com/crisis] I am uncomfortable talking to members who are under the influence (of alcohol or any other narcotic substance) I am comfortable chatting with neurodiverse members and DID/OSDD systems. I do take chats about sexual assault, PTSD and LGBTQ+ issues💜💜 I do take chats on sexual health (but I am very selective here). Please don't ask me to control your urges or for any inappropriate "help". Please keep in mind that this website is for emotional support, and I would appreciate it if you can be respectful and considerate. I may be unfamiliar with some of the topics you may want to talk about, but I can read up on them during the chat or in-between chat sessions...since sadly I can't know everything (though I wish I did). However if I didn't mention a topic, I am comfortable talking about it. My triggers- Self-harm (and related descriptions). For all members- before reaching out to chat, please check my status- Red(offline)- I am offline and not replying. However you can still drop messages and I will get back to you later. Response time 48 hours Green(online)- I am online, free and open to your chat requests… Orange(Busy)- I am here but I already am talking to too many people here or busy somewhere on 7cups so I am unable to give you the attention you deserve. I recommend you to look for another listener by clicking here [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/].... Response time 3-4 hours max.  Note for all members Please note that if I am in the chatrooms and my status is offline, that means I am not currently available for chatting in the PMs.(Usually it means I am about to log out soon and therefore can't chat). In that case you can send me a PM and I'll get back to you in 48h. I do care about you a lot because you are an awesome person...I'll do my best to support you!! If I am unable to do so for any reason, please feel free to reach out to another amazing listener here [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/]. You may not be comfortable with me, and I totally respect that and want you to get the best help possible. My PMs are a safe space where you can talk about things, and I am here for you. I care for you all💜💜 I have been facing memory difficulties (due to dissociation), so I may not always remember details about what you tell me, or sometimes I might lose track of what you are talking about. I sometimes might also miss out on tags or messages for the same reason, in which case you are very welcome to follow up with me or tag me again within 2-3 days. Please bear with me on that, and remember that I am here for you, and I am trying my best. My sincerest apologies for the same. Also I'm slow to reply to tags so if it's urgent, message me the link to the post as well💜 *💜sends lots of love for you💜* Please note that I do not check in regularly (since I find it hard to keep track of that), so my listening style is more like you can peek in anytime you need support. Members whom I've spoken to before are welcome to drop a message when they need support as well💜.  Important note- I am a trained listener but I am not a professional therapist so I will be unable to give you advice and/or therapy-like support. You can still drop me a message if you want to talk about what you're struggling with, I'll be here to listen to you. If you are looking for professional therapy (paid) here at 7Cups and you are an adult then please click here [https://www.7cups.com/online-therapy/?ob=1] Unfortunately 7Cups doesn't offer therapy for teens but I hope you get the support you need and deserve. Please note- I am unavailable for casual chats with anyone- be it listeners, members or friends due to time commitments. If you want to talk to me, poke my PMs anytime and I'll surely get back to you!! *💜sending comfy vibes💜* If you are willing to live chat with me, but can't spot me online, please drop me a message so we can discuss availabilities and schedule a chat. Looking forward to speaking to you! Please go through the part of my profile above this before sending me a request!   Some Quick resources for emergencies Crisis link here [http://7cups.com/crisis] or you can chat anonymously for crisis support here [https://nycwell.cityofnewyork.us/en/get-help-now/chat-with-a-counselor-now/]. For Self harm urges, alternatives here [http://7cups.com/forum/SelfHarmRecovery_65/InformationandResources_1079/DistractionsandAlternativeCopingStrategies_221562/] For panic attacks- here are grounding techniques [https://www.7cups.com/forum/TraumaticExperiencesCommunity_60/TraumaRecoveryResources_481/GroundingWhenTriggered_42512/], more grounding techniques [https://www.therapistaid.com/therapy-article/grounding-techniques-article], breathing exercises (Youtube [https://youtu.be/vXZ5l7G6T2I] or Gif [https://i.imgur.com/bg6J9md.gif]) and muscle relaxation [https://youtu.be/I0wVZIxoe-Q]  A little bit about me ;) If you have lots of extra time, then maybe you may want to read my full bio- You could call me Lavender but everyone just calls me Lav. Some people like to call me cool nicknames like Little Lav, Lave, Lavy, Lavvie, Law(?), Empa, or even Lab (short for laboratory- I love lab)- so if you are too lazy to type Lavender and are bored of Lav then you can call me all that.   The lovely @courageousheart96 [http://7cups.com/@courageousheart96] dedicated an emoji to me (I'm so honoured hehe)- the lav heart💜💜 💜💜You can use pronouns they/them for me💜💜 I am an ace (asexual) and an ally for the LGBTQ+/MOGII community. I am currently a full time uni student in a STEM field (Biotech), which means time is tricky at times. But I try to be here as much as possible.  Some mental health issues that I live with are depression, PTSD, OSDD and chronic anxiety. Members please feel free to message me if you want to talk about these with a listener who has experience. Languages- I speak English, French (well I don't "speak" French well, it's kinda rusty) and I am trying to learn basic Korean. I also speak (but won't be chatting in) Hindi My trigger- self harm 💜Hugs are no longer a trigger for me💜 I said a lot already so I would prefer it if you don't come up with very personal questions (and please don't ask any personal questions for a second time). Please understand that is because I love my privacy and you should love your privacy too!  Also I run a snack-shop here at 7Cups, so there are cookies and cakes and all sorts of awesome stuff for everyone💜 As of now my primary focus is on supporting listeners on the site. Due to personal reasons it is not possible for me to be available regularly for live member support chats. I do live member chats on-and-off and I always update my bio accordingly. I am, however, always open to new members via slow pace chats. Members are always welcome to seek support from me by exchanging offline messages with a maximum response time 48 hours from my side. My favourite place on 7Cups is the PMland- so feel free to text me anytime and I'll surely get back to you within 48h. And my PMs are a spam-friendly space for all :) 💜💜 A quick note- My country shown changes from time to time, since it reflects the country I am currently in. This is to ensure transparency regarding the timezone I am in. I generally reply to all PMs within 48 hours. If I'm on a break or unable to reply timely for any reason I'll surely add that to the top of my bio. If I did not reply within this time, it does not mean I'm angry or anything, because of memory issues or technical glitches I may sometimes miss messages. My sincerest apologies for the same. So in that case please feel free to send me another message. Also response time may be a bit delayed on weekends but I'll try to ensure it's within 48 hours. 💜 You might know me from my previous username (empatheticLavender2924)- changed it since this one is simpler:) My roles here- 💜First and foremost- I am a verified listener [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenerLearningJourney_149/QualityProjectsVerifiedListeners_144/IWanttobeaVerifiedListener_46935/1/] which means I am someone who will try their best to listen to you.

Sometimes the weather is not good- sometimes it is sunny and sometimes cloudy and rainy. Sometimes the rain is a storm that destroys everything. The storm felt never-ending and overwhelming. However the storm has calmed down, and is not scary and risky anymore. The sunlight comes back, but all you can see is the damage from the storm (post-trauma effects). The damage looks terrible but you can't look away from it.  Here- I'll remind you- look how far you've come- you've survived the scary storm. That's amazing. There will be damage and that's totally ok. Remember you can make it through- since you survived the storms you are strong enough to slowly clean the mess and heal. That is sad as it will remind you of the storm, and the mess is huge. It takes time to clean up, but you can do this. I know you can. And to those friends of mine whose storms aren't over yet- I see you, I hear you. I know you too are doing your very best and did nothing to deserve this. It might feel like the storm will never end- it will be here forever. But the storm will be over. One day things will get better. And after that you might have to do the post-storm cleaning (or post-traumatic healing) and that is hard, but you got this. One day you'll look back on everything and be really proud of yourself- how hard you tried and how far you've come. If you feel like you are trying but tired, and scared and worried, I hear you. It is tiring to manage everything, and sometimes it is hard to talk about it. But if you want someone to be there for you- I am just one PM away. Come talk to me about it (or any other listener here). We are all here for you, and you can do it because you are amazing and brave. The end of my bio;) This bio is so long, smh so I'll stop here. Sending lots of healing beams for you, yes you amazing fairy!! You deserve love and support💜💜 Please see- I am sorry if I am unavailable while you are reading this, so please talk to another listener if you want support now. Or if you want you can drop me messages and I'll reply within 48 hours. I am here for you!! My PMs are open at all times for both members and listeners!  If you are an adult (listener or member) and can't PM me, you can tag me in a forum post anytime (by typing "@LavenderHere ") that way I'll get a notification and reply to you! Also random people lurking in my bio- you're welcome here (I spotted you hehe) *💜sends cookies💜* Also before I forget- 💜💜Congratulations on reaching the end of my bio!!!💜💜 *💜special cookies for you💜*

FEMALE LISTENER  There are awesome community sessions which are scheduled in various rooms. You can check them out here: 7 Cups Community Calendar [https://www.7cups.com/forum/communityCalendar.php] Please read below about what I try to be as a listener: Although i am not a professional therapist I try to apply my knowledge of psychology, mental health on stuff (p.s. - Undergraduate Bachelors Degree in Psychology completed. YAY 🧡🤩). I aim to be unbiased yet compassionate. Not a fairy godmother. If all the above sounds good let me know if you want a chat.   When the circle near my profile pic is green that means I’m available to talk to you now. If you leave me a message and I don't respond this can because im busy (orange circle) or because im offline (red circle).  *1 hr duration chats * Bright7cups former amazing twinning buddy - thank you ❤️

My current response time to messages is currently about 24 hours but I will respond as soon as possible. If it is urgent please let me know. #HopeForHappyFeet Keep on being resilient through these difficult times. We are all here for you and you never have to face this alone. #UnicornLivesMatter Happy National Unicorn Day! 🦄 #UnicornsForSienna Rest in peace you beautiful little girl. You may be gone but you will never be forgotten. We miss you every day. Thank you for showing so much resilience throughout your short life. I am so sorry that it had to be cut short. Fly away with the unicorns and eat as many cookies as you like. 🦄 Rest in peace MusicalMagic. We miss you each day. Thank you for what you did for 7Cups. We never knew eachother but I do know that you were an amazing listener. Rest in peace Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh. Thank you for inspiring so many young people and for everything that you have done for what you did. 🎖 Hello everyone, Welcome to 7Cups if you have just joined or welcome to my bio if you have just come across my profile. I am a 17 year old female who has been through a lot of mental health struggles throughout life. 7Cups has helped so much with coping and realising that I don't have to feel alone so I want to give something back and help out the amazing community. I want to help you realise that you matter, how you feel is valid and that you don't have to feel alone on here. My listening style is to allow you to explain how you are feeling and if anything has been going on to trigger this and I will help to provide support where I can or direct you to another listener if it is an issue that I don't understand very well. I don't mind having chats with members who just want to have someone to talk to but please do not ask me for my social media, personal details or for me to do anything off 7Cups because this is something that I will say no to as it makes me uncomfortable. Please feel free to grab some cookies and blankets. I will help you to feel confident and comfortable during the conversation but sometimes the first listener you speak to might not be the listener that you instantly click with and this is something that I understand and will not be offended by. I am not comfortable with providing support for domestic violence, self harm or abuse as these are things that are very triggering topics for me although there are other listeners who will be happy to help you. Unfortunately, I also am not able to provide support for users going through alcohol or drug use, schizophrenia or sexual health as these are issues that I don't understand very well. Here are 2 very important quotes that I would like everyone to remember. ❤ You will emerge from this nightmare like the powerful, beautiful, resilient person that you are. It can be hard to remember this when you feel like a shell of the person you once were. But trust me: you are capable of overcoming so much more than you think. This letter is to you. The you that's had a rough week. The you that seems to be under constant storm clouds. The you that feels invisible. The you that doesn't know how much longer you can hang on. The you that has lost faith. The you that always blames yourself for everything that goes wrong. To you. You are incredible. You make this world a little bit more wonderful. You have so much potential and so many things left to do. You have time. Better things are coming your way, so please hang in there. You can do it.  Well done for getting to the end of my very long bio. Have an amazing day and remember that you are not alone! This is a lovely quote that I heard from @Emily328 who is an amazing listener that inspires me to do my best. "Do it for you, do what you love and do it with passion, don't do it for others."  Green= Online and ready to chat Orange= Either with another member, in the rooms or in a discussion. I will respond as soon as possible. Red= Asleep, at school, eating or otherwise offline. I will respond as soon as possible.  🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

Restarting! Notice: I am sorry, but I am not currently able to listen to any members at the moment. In the meantime, here [http://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/] are some amazing listeners, and I hope you will be able to find a listener that can support you best :)    To Members If anyone asks me who I am, to be honest, I would not know what to say. I am a cis female that questions her sexuality. I am someone who cares about school, yet there's a part of me that does not. I am someone who loves interacting with people, yet I am not exactly social. My interests are ever-changing, and everything is sort of all over the place. However, despite all the unanswered questions in my head about who I am, there is one thing I am sure about: it is my story.  Every story is special in its own ways, but sometimes our stories are not heard, and stepping outside our comfort zone to share is quite hard. I am very proud to see that every one of you took the first step and made a member account whether it is for support or just for the sake of having one. I may never be able to fully understand what you are going through because I have not been in your shoes and neither have I experienced what you had, no matter how similar our stories may be. I cannot promise you will feel better and that everything will get better because we really do not know. However, from the bottom of my heart, I still hope that I can support you the best that I can with a listening ear. Some topics that I have dealt with are anxiety, LGBTQ+, sleeping well, self-esteem, and many more in varying degrees. I would love to talk about these issues; however, please note that I will not be sharing my personal experiences because I would love to focus on listening to your story. My listening space is a safe place for those who would like to talk about any issues without any judgment (unfortunately, I may not be the best person to talk about alcohol/drug use, men's issues, and perinatal mood disorder due to my limited knowledge on those topics, but feel free to message me if you wish!). My listening style incorporates longer messages, usually 2-4 sentences per message, so my response time ranges around 1-2 minutes. On one last note, each person is different, and my style may not exactly match up with your preferences, which is perfectly alright! There are also some other wonderful listeners that you may want to check out here [http://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/]! Welcome to my profile. I am Day or Dream, and I am very excited to get to know all of you :) To Listeners from my mentor profile but with some additional information! I still remember the first day I signed up as a listener, where I scrambled to figure out how this site worked with listening, the chatrooms, the forums, the notifications, and just everything. It was a lot to process, and listening wasn't quite what I imagined it would be. These first few days are often days when we are amazed by the site yet unsure where to start, yet even as days and months go by, there are days where we don't feel very confident in listening, days where we feel like we should do more, and days where we have questions but do not know who to ask.  Every listener's journey here on 7 cups is different and special in its own way; some focus on listening to our wonderful members, some focus on chatting in the chatrooms, and others focus on supporting everyone through a variety of projects. No matter where we stand, I would like to take this chance to thank every single one of you for signing up as a listener and even checking out this mentor page! That being said, I am very excited to get to know everyone, so feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions, would like a familiar face around here, or anything else! My journey is focused around two tracks: quality and forums ~ Forum Track: Edit, delete, or move forum posts (global community teen star), Questions about forum guidelines (forum flag team), Want to join the Teen Only Zone! (community mentor leader) Quality Track/Project: Mock chats and listening resources (teen quality star), How to respond to certain chats (chat support), How to become a verified listener (verifier's team project agent), Join the safety patrol team (safety patrol and outreach team), Active Listening 3 Test feedback and updates (AL3 grading and feedback team) Please also do note that I may not be the most knowledgable about the academies, but feel free to message me, and I would love to direct you to the corresponding leaders ~ That's about it from me! Hope to see everyone around whether through messages, forums, or chatrooms ~ My Availability: Green - I am online for both member and listener-related chats. Orange - I am only online for listener-related chats but may be in-and-out (response time: 30 minutes). Red - I am most likely roaming the forum area, working on another project, or logged out! Feel free to leave a message, and I'll get back to you soon! To everyone:  My private message response time is now N/A days! If I do not respond within a week, please send me another message, and I apologize in advance. My account is also prone to several 7 cups bugs, so there will be times where I am unable to send messages, and I usually update in my bio when that happens. Additionally, please note that if I am around in a particular area (chatrooms, forums, or private messages), it does not mean that I will be active in another area. Thank you for understanding! ⭐︎ About Me ⭐︎  Pronouns are she/her/hers Personality type is INFJ-T (advocate) Interests are music (cello, R&B), swim, bullet-journaling, google sheets :), daydreaming, tv shows/dramas Time Zone: GMT-5 (EST). Feel free to convert your times here [https://rarelycharlie.github.io/7cupstime]!
