Listeners: I am back! I am working on getting some badges back so I can be a full mentor again! 
 
Hello and welcome to 7cups of tea. I'm excited to see that you're taking the first step to gain some self-care, help, a listening ear. 
My name is Mikayla, some people like to call me Mikayla, Mika, Miki, or Mik. Any are okay with me. I enjoy listening to help others gain a better understadning of themselves as well as gain a new way of looking at things. I will listen to you no matter who you are and what your needs are, my goal as a listener is to be here for you to have. I know most about, and can realate back to topics from the following:
- Abuse
- Body image
- Domestic Violence 
- Drug abuse/ Drugs
- Eating Disorders
- LGBTQ+ (I am lesbian myself, so I know what it feels like about coming out and various things in the LGBTQ+ world!
- Sexual Assault, abuse, survivor. 
- Self-Injury
Please don't feel if you don't see what you need help with isn't on my list that you cannot connect with me. My messages are always opened. You will also see all my topics on my profile list below. 
About me: 
I now live in the Netherlands but I come from the United States. I am nearly done with my Bachelor of Science degree in Criminology with a focus in counter-terroism and International Criminal Law. I have life experience with living with a family member suffering from drug abuse, going through an eating disorder myself, mental health, losing friends to suicide or chronic health conditions, and also being a chronic illness patient myself who has spent long amounts of time in the hospital because of medical health problems. 

I am always open for chats, however my status is most often "offline" this is due to my work schedule at the moment. If at any point in our chat you feel you would like a different listener, that is 110% okay! This is the link to browse listeners.

Other ways to change topics in support rooms?

...See more Hey Guys :) As I've been doing a lot of modding with our lovely members, the ones that make our family whole, I would like to bring to the attention of self-harm.  Self-Harm is defined as the intentional, direct injuring of body tissue most often done without suicidal intentions. I've noticed while in the chatroom that self-harm is a triggering topic for many, and changing the topic is okay! However, I want to make sure that ALL mods might know how to better handle it, change the topic, how to better handle it, and maybe some better resources to have!  For Example: Please imagine:  This is your first time logging on to 7cups, and the first time going into the support room. You're feeling triggered and want some support around your self-harm, and so you go in. However, you're new, and you don't know all the rules to all of this fancy chatroom, or the people or even the mods. As mods, we encourage you to talk about what it is that's bothering you, and when you mention self-harm, it triggers someone else.  STOP. Okay, being someone who deals with self-harm on a daily basis of trying to recover, and knowing how scary urges can feel, I feel like we need a better way to move the conversation along. As mods we are told that no suicide (given) and to let members what's going on until someone say they're triggered. The issue that I've been seeing in some of the reactions I see, or the PM's I get is the lack of transition time. I am wondering if we can come up as mods with better ways to go about topic changes with ALL things (sorry, I just know self-harm best, hence my example) because it makes those who talked about it, feel worse that they talked about it in the first place.  Does anyone else have

MIKAYLA IS THE BEST! I went into our chat scared. I was unsure if everything. And it was pure luck I got her. She went really slow. Asked me what was going on. Made sure she understood EVERYTHING that I was trying to tell her. She didn't judge me. She didn't yell at me, or tell me that my cutting was stupid, or anything like that. She just sat with me, and together, she helped me find a new way to cope (drawing :) and together, we talked about how I could talk to my safe adult. It was amazing. When she sai
