Bio

I'm an older woman (she/her) with lots of compassion, and I'm comfortable talking about a variety of mental health issues.  I've been through a lot with my own bipolar disorder so I can offer real empathy. 

Please note: I don't take social chats. Also, I will not tolerate any explicit or inappropriate sex talk in any chat.

When I am unavailable (red indicator) and you need immediate support, please refer to our 'browse listeners' tab to find another Listener who feels like a good fit for you. If you would like to schedule a time to chat, please leave me a message and I will get back to you.

Green status indicator = Available to chat.  Orange status indicator = Online but busy. I will respond as soon as I can.  Red status indicator = I am currently unavailable. Feel free to leave me a message.

What's "too much"? Share your thoughts and preferences
General Support / by JustSophia
Last post
 July 1st
...See more I heard someone use the phrase "too much" recently. It made me wonder about people's experiences here and what would feel the best to them. I think awareness of many perspectives is important. Please be respectful. There are no absolutes. Your experience is yours, and other people deserve to have theirs. If it's hard for you to express yourself, try "Personally, I feel [insert emotion] when..." When you come here, what are you looking for? What helps you find that? What feels overwhelming to you? What makes you want to avoid (even if temporarily) a forum or chat or even the site itself? (Again... be respectful! Own your own personal experience. Generalizations aren't fair.) What does help you or would help you?

Journaling as an Invitation
General Support / by JustSophia
Last post
 February 9th
...See more I love the feeling of a good pen gliding over a blank page. There’s something about that that feels like an invitation to my own thoughts. I don’t have to know where I’m going or what to think. I just write and see what comes out. It’s very often not what I expected. That’s important, and it’s also important that I can’t edit. On a computer, it’s easy to take for granted that I can just hop back and change a word or two, or “correct” my direction, but sometimes I need to see my thoughts unedited. There have been many times that I’ve tried to write about x, but found myself writing about y instead, and it was y that I really needed to pay attention to. Journaling also changes the way I think. Because it’s hand-written, it forces me to focus in a way nothing else does. My thoughts slow down and get more deliberate, and my ability to explore those thoughts opens up. I often get new, unique insights this way. If you feel like it, give journaling a try. Find a pen and paper you really like. For me, the tactile part of journaling is part of the invitation, but it doesn’t have to be. Write whenever you feel like it and see what happens. No rules. Just write about whatever you want, whenever you want and see what happens.   Let me know how it goes!

Horror and affirmation
LGBTQ+ / MOGII Support / by JustSophia
Last post
 January 23rd, 2025
...See more Allow me to say, first of all, that I am not LGBTQ+ MOGII.  After this post I intend to leave this space for those who are. I came here, on this day, to express support and affirmation. It should not be an issue that you as a community face threats to acceptance, dignity, respect, safety, or civil rights because of how you identify, present, love, see yourself, feel, who you are attracted to and how, or what you feel the need to explore. Hateful bigotry should not be acceptable, let alone encouraged or emboldened. I may be just one voice, but I will gladly use that voice to affirm that you have a right - you deserve - to exist as you are. You deserve to be loved as is. No matter what anyone else says, I will see you as a human being and I will respect you as such.  -Sophia

The best of the best
I have never met a listener quite like Sophia. She has helped me through a very difficult time, and without her support I wouldn’t be where I am now. There are not enough words to describe how much of an amazing person she is, but she is undoubtedly the most kind, gentle and understanding person I have ever spoken to. I felt fully heard and safe talking with her, and was able to trust her enough to open up about my issues. She is professional but also easy to talk to and genuine. If I could give her a million stars, she would have every single one. I feel lucky to have had the pleasure of speaking with such a wonderful person. Thank you so much Sophia
great!
