Bio
On hiatus 

Hi, I'm glad you've found my page. I'm not the most active anymore, so expect my response to take a while unless my status is set to online. 

My usual chat topics include LGBTIQ+/gender and sexuality, self-perception, various social and relationship dynamics, maladaptive thoughts and behaviour, coping, relapse and recovery, living with chronic mental health conditions, psychosis, as well as bipolar disorder and other affective disorders. 

I myself enjoy reading, writing, digital art, music, tabletop games and hiking. I'm a cat and a dog person depending on mood, and happiest when spending time in nature and relaxed company. 

Here's a song I like. 
 
Feedback & Reviews
Very helpful and empathetic
Hi,
if these were the Olympics, he'd be Phelps. Kia ora!
Really good listener, professional, helpful, feeling really good talking with them.
He was very nice and helpful
Thank you! You're the best!
Awesome listener!!! So insightful . He really understood me :)
I came to Ben after being hurt in the worst way possible. He was very supportive through it all. He is honestly one of the best listeners and he was very validating of all of my ordeal. He made me feel safe even though I didn't feel good. Thank you, Ben, for being my angel.
Ocyboo is amazing!!! He is one of the most calm minded soul I have come across on 7c! He is the one you can completely depend upon, while in distress. He instantly connects with you (mentally) and tries to help you in every possible way!
I hope God bless him wherever he stays, and make his life easier soon. :)
- Person.
Ben was very kind and patient, spent many hours to talk to me. Was very insightful and made me felt really validated. As I already have been feeling a lot of emptiness and grief, he was gentle and understanding with my emotions. Sometimes when you are feeling so small and shattered, there's no instant fix indeed, but talking to someone who is so understanding as Ben, would make you feel less alone and someone is being there for you. Thank you so much.
Caring
A good person that means what he writes and cares. Thank you for being a friend for my brother E.
Ben was genuinely supportive. persistently impartial and fair-minded. super compassionate as well. Offered an insight and genuine interest in my case. Listened to my situation and approached it with as much professionalism and tact as I could need. His messages were beautifully written and comforting. I highly recommend this calm and collected individual :)
Balsam für die Seele, dankeschön OceanChild.
best listener, really understood me and was such a big help!
Very uplifting while sensitive and conscious to my current feelings and emotions, I felt that I was in good hands from the start.
great person all round
After many ups and downs with listeners Ocean was refreshing and invigorating to talk to, as his name says!
I appreciate Benjamin he was very charming and helpful!

Perfect! Great thought-provoking questions and infinitely understanding and nonjudgemental attitude
An amazing listener. Thank you!
Attentive, focused listener, non judgemental, always makes me feel deeply cared for and understood!
Ben is such a calming, warm, loving presence. Like a friend you've known for a long time and met again. He is gentle and caring, but knows how to use words in the right way.
I'm dealing with drug abuse and people treating me with respect and care without being judgemental, scoldig or condescending are rare... I got teary when I realized that my issues are symptoms of something deeper... He provided insights that worked for me and I feel so hopeful now. Thank you love

Ben is the most kind and intelligent listener Imve ever experienced on this site. He provided me with support while helping me through some difficult feelings and remained calm and collected throughout the entire conversation. He's absolutely wonderful.

Ben is a magician of smiles ^-^ he fished me out of the requests pound and doused me with care and support and made me feel so much better that I made a members account after our chat! I don't know how you do it but keep doing it! xx T.
