Before you send a request, please read my bio. Thank you.
And before you read my bio: Due circumstances, mostly a lack of time and time-management skills, I am not going to be spending as much time on 7cups as I used to. This is really hard for me, since I adore 7cups and the members, guests and listeners. But I can't fit 7cups into my day... or night for that matter. I am very sorry. I have quit being a listener for now, but I will be online again if I get more free-time. Which might take a couple of months. Thank you for understanding :)
Hello, I'm Ember and I'm here to listen and help you when you need some emotional support, to vent, or when you're considering something drastic and want to talk to someone about it. I know what it's like to feel like there's no one you can talk your problems over with, or to feel judged. But rest assured that you can tell me about your problems without worries and I will respond to you.
If you think I can help you, even if I'm not online, please leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible, which I'm ashamed to say, won't be very soon. My areas of expertise are Anxiety, LGBTQ, Managing Emotions, Family Stress and Coping with Schizophrenia. I'd prefer to take requests from people who are in their early 20's or younger (LGBTQ excluded), seeing as I'm in that age group so I might be more of a help.
One thing you should keep in mind, I do not give advice on personal matters. As the training guide examples say, 'You are the expert on you'. No matter how many detail you provide me about you, your family or the personal situation you want to discuss I will never know the situation as well as you. My advice might not work for you, or even make matters worse. So if you are looking for advice regarding personal matters (relationships, for example) I am not the right person for you.
Also, I only take 'I'm bored, can we chat' type of requests when I'm bored or I'm dealing with one or less chats, which is a rare thing. Sorry.
