*:・゚*:・゚˚ ༘ ⋆。˚*:・゚*:・゚Hello!!*:・゚*:・゚˚ ༘ ⋆。˚*:・゚*:・゚

Welcome to ✨Kristynsmama's✨ Profile Page!! 

✨I am a verified listener here on 7 cups!✨

 ✨I am so glad that you have stopped by!!✨

✨I am in CST.✨

I currently am not able to accept personal requests.


✨Fun Facts✨

✨I live on a farm.✨

✨I love animals✨

✨I have 6 dogs, 2 indoor cats, 6 barn cats, 2 horses, 4 chickens, 2 saltwater fish tanks, 2 fresh water fishtanks, 1 donkey, 1 llama, and a partridge in a pear tree.✨

✨I can turn any conversation into a conversation about dogs✨

🌻I grow all of my own fruits and vegetables and they are all organic.🌻

🌻I may grow fruits and veggies, but I still believe that Chocolate should be it’s own food group🌻

✨My favorite colors are blue and purple.✨

✨I have an alarmingly large collection of keychains from around the world.✨ 

My hobbies include horseback riding and jumping.  And I used to be a barrel racer.  I also enjoy painting although I’m not great at it.  And I’m an avid cyclist.  In my spare time, I enjoy riding a motorcycle.

✨I have a chronic autoimmune disease that sometimes makes my energy plummet.  I usually update my profile at the top of my profile if I’m going to be taking a self care day.

✨If you really knew me, you would know that my passion in life is to support other people through challenges that I myself have been through.  I have lived experience in grief and loss, eating disorders, addiction, depression, anxiety, and much more.✨

💛What is 7 cups?💛

⭐️It IS a place for you to come where you can share life’s challenges in a safe, confidential and supportive environment!

⭐️It IS a place for you to discover your own solutions to your problems with the help and guidance of a non judgmental person.

💛What 7 cups IS NOT💛

⭐️It is not a place for crisis intervention.  If you are actively suicidal, please understand that I will not chat with you.  Instead, I will send you a list of resources.  You are welcome to reach out to me again once you are feeling better!

⭐️It is NOT a place to discuss sexual desires, fantasies, or role plays in any capacity.  I will not take sexual chats.


💛What is the role of a listener?💛

⭐️A listener is NOT a therapist.  

⭐️They are simply volunteers who want to support you and guide you to discover your own solutions to your problems.

⭐️A listener should never give you advice!


💛My Chat guidelines💛

✨ Please follow the community guidelines in any chat with me.  I will always do the same.

✨Please do not chat with me about sexual topics.  This includes pornography, fantasies, asking me to role play a fantasy, and asking intimate details about my own sex life or fantasies/desires.

✨All of my chats are about 60 minutes each and my time is valuable and limited.  I will do my best to give you adequate time to chat, but please know that sometimes I’m just not available.

✨Please do not ask for my instagram, Facebook, email address, phone number, etc….  I will not give out any identifying information for your safety and for mine and because it is against community policy!  Equally I will not reveal where I live, my gender or my age.  If those things are that important to you, then it's probably best you find another listener.

✨ I follow a 3 warning system.  If you choose to disregard my boundaries, I will disconnect the chat on the third warning.


🛑 Chat Topics I DO NOT TAKE: 🛑

✨Men’s Issues (sorry guys, I’m a lady and I just don’t have knowledge).

✨Sexual Health


🔔Green: I'm online, feel free to send me a message.

...See more * These are the top 5 reasons that young adults practice in sept harming behaviors.  Which of these rings true for you?  It can be one of them or all of them.  Understanding why we practice this behavior is a key in long term recovery. * 1.  To release emotional pressure (In one study, 85 percent [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2723954/] of participants said this was their biggest reason for self-harming.) * 2.  In order to control how they’re feeling * 3.  To get away from intolerable emotions * 4.  As a way of punishing themselves or expressing anger at themselves * 5.  Being triggered by exposure to self-harm relapse in others or in the media.

Very friendly and supportive to talk to
She's wonderful to talk with and I felt like I was talking with a close friend. It was fun chatting with her and she helped me to feel more at ease during a difficult situation
She indeed was one of the best listeners I've ever talked to. She tried hard to understand me , considering my condition having schizophrenia, and she gave me one of the best companies I've ever came across with.
Very helpful listener - willing to both sit back and listen and also offer helpful comments and productive suggestions.
Will be great if can talk to again
Fantastic! Very helpful and a very good listener——

Good Job! Keep it up. Thanks for listening
It is great to talk to someone like you who actually seems to care about what I say
I am so grateful for having a genuine person to listen. I've tried other websites and found that the listeners and the subscribers are fake. I really appreciate the help and advice I've been given. I feel better knowing that I have some advice to act on now.
I found Angelwings2 to be a very good listener, I felt she had things in common with me. I didn't feel so alone, like the things that have happened in my life has only happened to me. I appreciated her listening ear. Thank you Angelwings2
Wonderful listener, seems like the genuinely care
I don't really know what to say. I guess I'm glad that you put time aside for me. Thank you

It's good to be heard from deep inside. Thank you

I love her. She is very lovely and kind and supportive.
Wonderful and empathetic listener
