Bio

Hello! I'm glad you've found me, I will do my best to listen and help in whatever way I can. I am a 50 year old woman, who lives in the Northern United States. I work in a school and enjoy my job. I love spending time with people I'm close to and my pets, doing crafts, reading, and being out in nature. I made the decision to become a listener here because I have struggled with issues like alcoholism (I'm sober now for several years), depression, trauma and anxiety (including panic attacks). I'm doing much better with all these issues now. One of the things that helped me when I was in a very dark place was a website for depression support. I'm grateful to have come through all that and would like to do what I can to help others.

Bella helped me so much! She is such a kind soul and helped me heal from past relationships and was present throughout the whole conversation. I would love to talk to her again :>
Thank you. You are helping. I need this.
Bella is incredibly kind and caring. Definitely one of the best I've talked to on this site. She listens thoughtfully and is also fun to chat with about light hearted things. I truly appreciated her time. 10/10, would definitely recommend!
Bella so Awesome I love it
She is a very good listener and gives suggestions after understanding the suitations
Very good listener really seemed to understand, asked great questions and offered helpful advice. Thank you Bella
She really listened and helped me understand the situation I was in better. I thought asking if I had supportive people to talk to was pointless though, since if I did I probably wouldn't have signed up here.
I wish I could describe the experience in words. your work shows in your patience. Thank you so so sooooooo much for being so generous with your time, and your kindness. I don't think anyone else could have done such an amazing job being so attentive throughout the conversation, and checking in everytime for clarification. Thank you so much! You are a blessing to this site.

Thank you for lifting up a huge loan away from me and making me stop overthinking and helping me with my problem. No words except thank you, all the best xoxo
Feeling better already for talking with someone.
Bella1970 was very encouraging and reassuring. It was helpful that she was familiar with addiction & recovery and knew to recommend Alanon as a resource for more help. This is a great service and I'd talk to Bella1970 again!
