Hello, my name is Abigail, an active listener here on 7cups. Welcome, glad you are here. There are many positive aspects to having someone to talk to/chat with. Your struggles and situations are valid and valued. Please feel free to chat with me while I am online. If I am offline, inbox me and we will create a time to talk. My purpose here is to compassionately listen, not give advice. There have been challenges that I chose to face alone and the outcome was not great. I've since learned the importance of communicating with others in a healthy setting and the benefits of having someone to relate my circumstances with in order to improve them. In life there is always going to be uphill battles and difficult things to endure. My hope is that you will not face them alone.
