Hello everyone and welcome to my bio! You can call me Jaz! As you take flight please buckle in to ensure safety as you go along your mission to read my bio. You have a choice. You can stop halfway if you're afraid of heights or you can go higher and get to know more information about me! I'm afraid of heights so I see you and hear you if you don't want to go further.
I am always here to support you and let you know that you are loved, you matter, and you belong! I will be here for any general mental health related topics and even a casual chat. I'm one message away π
My fellow listeners please reach out to me if you need help around the site or a resource! I'm a doopkeeper, I'm on the care team, and I can verify you if you meet the requirements!
I go by EST as my time zone. You can use this time converter here if you would like a specific time to chat https://time.is/compare
I'm not able to assist with crisis situations but you can find the crisis recourses here https://help.7cups.com/hc/en-us/articles/360026238093-Crisis
If you're looking for clarity on a specific topic you can find topic training guides here https://www.7cups.com/supportGuides/selfHelpGuides.php
I enjoy playing the flute, reading, building puzzles, doing diamond paintings, listening to all of you on 7 cups, singing, listening to music ( Ed Sheeran is the best!) and petting my doggos. Harry Potter is my favorite movie series and Matilda is my favorite movie!
I am pansexual and non binary. My pronouns are they/them! βΊοΈ
I would describe myself as kind, compassionate, non-judgemental and open minded.
I will not be on green status due to me preparing for marching band next year, so feel free to PM me and I will get back to you as soon as I can. I will be rarely responding to PM's from July 9th- August 13th for a long needed self care break and that is also going over the span of my first days of high school and band camp.
I will take all personal chat requests if I'm online and not busy.
Food of the week: πππππππ
Things I have personal experience with: Self harming, Depression, Family stress, Trauma(PTSD), Getting unstuck, Anxiety, Eating Disorder and other things stared below
I don't like to get into detail about SA topics so if you are struggling with that please find another listener. Please if it's a sexual issue of any kind, just find another listener.(it's a trigger for me and I would appreciate not to get into these topics.)
You are amazing and don't let anyone tell you different.
Topics I do not take: age regression, self esteem, SA topics, drug/alcohol related addiction and topics that aren't listed below
Please do not see me as a parental figure either. I have had some people who would call me mommy and request for me to call them sweetheart. I need to focus on other members that actually need an ear to listen.
β€οΈπ§‘ππππEveryone is welcome hereβ€οΈπ§‘ππππ
Being descriptive about Self Harm and Eating Disorders may be a trigger for me. As long as you're not giving me a graphic description about these topics feel free to PM me about it.
Status code:
π= I'm active and ready to listen (I have a lot of time on my hands. Lucky you π±)
π§‘= I'm busy and it may take me a little while to respond (what I will be on most of the time if I remember)

Please let me know of any triggers ahead of time. I do like to use emojis a lot to help you read the tone of my message and I ask a lot of open ended questions. I tend to type in short to medium paragraphs so just let me know if some of these things trigger you and I will be more than glad to accommodate you. My keyboard automatically capitilazes the beginning of sentences and sometimes abbreviations. Let me know if you are triggered by capital letters and I can take them off for you.
Good job on making it to the end of my bio! If you have any movie/show suggestions I would gladly take them!
