Please read at least all the way to the bottom of my intro paragraph before reaching out to me.

I am a very active and engaged listener. I have a background of education in both mental and physical health. I am not a licensed therapist or doctor. Currently I am taking a break from school. However for a number of years I was pursuing a degree in psychiatric nurse practitioning. I plan to go back and finish this degree within the next year. I have greater than average knowledge pertaining to areas of psychology, pharmacology, anatomy, as well as general physical health. I am not qualified to diagnose, or provide a treatment plan for any illnesses that you may suffer from. However, I try to apply my knowledge and background in my work as a listener. I have a certain affinity for helping those who are suffering form neurological disorders such as schizophrenia, Bi Polar Disorder and similar mental health issues. I also have a strong focus on personality disorders as well. Particularly those that fall into the Cluster B personality types. I do not mind discussing any problems or situations that you may be going through. However I try to limit myself to only dicussing relationship problems that center around the LGBT community or those that are having problems due mental health issues and/or absue. I try to make myself available to those who feel most in need of speaking with me. I am a very serious listener and take a practical approach when speaking to everyone. With this being said, I do not mind talking to anyone about any problem. But please understand that I may refer you to another listener if I feel that there is someone who needs a greater amount of attention at the moment. I can have casual conversations as well and do not mind them. But if something more pressing arises, I like to give my full attention to that. My hobbies include listening to opera and classical music, cooking, reading (mostly academic or non-fiction literature except for classics) musical theater, and playing card games. If you would like to know more, please feel free to message me and ask. I will always try to make time for any type of conversations. I just ask that you bear with me, if I feel the need to refer you to another listener. For any indiviudals who are dealing with dark personality features, or are interested in knowing about my own personal mental health diagnosis. Please read to the bottom of my Bio. As with all other listeners on 7cups, any discussions that we may have will always be completely confidential. I will never reveal anything about what we have discussed, and I will never judge or shame you for anything that you say to me. I am here to offer support and assistance where I can. I believe that the only way I can do so effectively is to have the trust and confidence of those members I speak to.

All members are very important to me. In order to be able to devote more time to all of you properly. I try to limit my active chats to no more than five at a time. If you see that I am available, but for some reason I am not answering your personal request please consider the following:

1. I am happy to speak to any and all of you, please come back and try again with me.

2. If it is something that you feel to be very urgent. Please try sending me another personal request. I will attempt to answer it if at all possible.

3. If you are not a new member to me. Please be considerate of other members time as well. I promise that I will get back to you as soon as possible.

4. I try always to respond promptly and appropriately to all current chats. If for some reason my responses become slow. Most likely there is another member that I am speaking with who I feel needs more special attention at the moment. Such as a crisis or issue that I am trying to address in the appropriate ways. Please bear with me, I will respond as quickly as I can.

You are always welcome to reach out to any and all listeners here on 7cups. All that I have associated with have attempted to speak from a place of what I believe to their best understanding. However if you are looking for someone who will understand from a more personal perspective. You are always welcome to reach out to me in particular. I am a clinically diagnosed Antisocial Personality. Outside of my college educational background, I have studied these features and personalities in particular with a passion. If there are any harmful, manipulative, or destructive impulses/fantasies you are dealing with. You will in no way scandalize or shock me by what you disclose. This goes as well for any individuals who feel they are struggling with some issue that most people would find alarming. I am happy to speak openly and candidly in an appropriate way surrounding your issues. As well as happy to share my prespective and insights.
