For 🕯️ - I'll be here waiting for you :)

Welcome to My Profile! Bienvenidos, benvenuti, ברוכים הבאים, kaj bonvenon!

A Bit About Me - 
Hey there! My name is Shneur and I'm a 22-year-old college student working on active-listening skills and trying to help out others. I love to bike, play video games, learn new languages, and explore my city! After I graduate college I hope to start an MSW program and become a social worker. I believe that everyone deserves to be heard, so if you're having a hard time, you're more than welcome to reach out. You will never encounter any judgment whatsoever, only a listening ear and empathy for your legitimate and valid feelings. 

Looking forward to hearing from you!

I am experienced in chatting about OCD and general anxiety as someone who has it and understands how it feels. OCD can be an extremely debilitating and frightening disorder - if you feel you might be or are suffering from OCD/obsessive thinking, I would be happy to chat about it with you. In addition to OCD, I also have much personal experience with general anxiety and panic attacks

Important Things to Keep in Mind

- You will not face judgment of any kind in our chats

- I will respect you and your feelings

- I will ensure your confidentiality - none of your details or the content of our chats will ever be traceable back to you, and you can remain 100% anonymous

- You are free to share anything and everything you'd like, except for expressions of bigotry and intolerance, inappropriate sexual talk, and intentionally offensive uses of language

- I will not be providing advice - this is because only you know your situation best. I can ask you guiding questions and we can work together based on them to possibly figure out a proper plan moving forward!

- I will listen to you compassionately and attentively.

- 7cups is not a crisis resource. If you are in crisis (having thoughts/intentions of suicide or are currently harming yourself), please contact crisis resources here or contact emergency services if you are in an immediate medical emergency.

I value you, all of you, with your strengths and weaknesses too!

Shavuot 5783/2023 - Chag Sameach, Gut Yom Tov!
Around the World / by ShneurZ

...See more – Shavuot 5783/2023 – This thursday – May 25th, 2023 (6th of Sivan, 5783) – at sundown marks the beginning of the biblical holiday of Shavuot (or Shavuos, according to Ashkenazic pronunciation). Shavuot commemorates God’s giving of the Torah - the first five books of the Tanach, or Hebrew Bible – to the Jewish people at Mt. Sinai in the Jewish year 2448, roughly 3300 years ago. On that day, God appeared for the first and only time in history en masse to the entirety of the Jewish people fifty days after the exodus from Egypt, and communicated to them directly the Ten Commandments (Aseret HaDibrot). The Torah describes Shavuot using several names, notably the Festival of Reaping (Exodus 23:16 - this is because it notes the beginning of the wheat harvest), the Festival of Weeks (Deuteronomy 16:10 - this is also the name we call it today, Shavuot meaning “weeks” in Hebrew), and the Festival of First Fruits (Numbers 28:26 - this is because one may bring the first fruits (bikkurim) of harvested crops to the Holy Temple in Jerusalem as an offering beginning on Shavuot). According to tradition, the Jewish people overslept the morning of the giving of the Torah (since they assumed that one must be asleep in order to receive prophecy from God). As a contrasting expression of excitement and eagerness to “receive” the Torah again each year with renewed vigor, Jews have adopted the near-universal custom of staying awake the entire night of Shavuot studying Torah and praying at the earliest opportunity in the morning. Other widespread customs exist as well, most notably the consumption of dairy foods (cheesecake is a common and very popular choice!). Many possible reasons surround the origin of that custom, including that the Jewish people’s cooking utensils became unfit for use according to the newly received Torah law (so dairy, which doesn’t require much preparation, was eaten until the utensils could be cleansed); because the Torah is likened to milk, since its study nourishes the soul just as milk nourishes a baby; and because the numerical value of the Hebrew word chalav (milk) is forty, which is the number of days Moses spent on Mt. Sinai writing down the Torah in a scroll following Shavuot. Shavuot is also one of the three regalim (a difficult word to translate – I prefer to say “festival” or “occasion”) during which all adult Jewish males are required to visit the Holy Temple in Jerusalem and offer several animal sacrifices in honor of the holiday. Nowadays, when the Temple lies in ruin, we hope and pray to God for its restoration and the ultimate Messianic redemption in the Mussaf prayer specially added to the day’s prayer services to commemorate the day’s additional sacrifices. I wish every Jewish member and listener of 7Cups a happy, healthy, peaceful, and meaningful holiday and Shabbat (since the second day of Shavuot falls on Shabbat (the Sabbath) this year), and for those reciting yizkor (the memorial prayers) on the second day to be comforted and their lost relatives’ memories to be blessed and cherished. Chag Sameach, Moadim l’Simcha, and Gut Yom Tov!

OCD Chats - Offering Support
OCD & Related Behaviors / by ShneurZ
Last post
October 20th, 2022
...See more Hi everyone! As a long-term sufferer of OCD, I want to offer my support as a listener to anyone who would like to talk about it in a nonjudgmental, understanding, and empathetic setting. I recognize (and have experienced) the unfortunately significant difficulties that can arise when seeking support for OCD/intrusive thoughts, especially when they pertain to subjects that are often considered shameful or taboo. I will never provide conscious reassurance (you can read here why doing so only worsens OCD symptoms: OCD and Reassurance Seeking) out of a genuine desire to not make your OCD/intrusive thoughts worse in the long-run, but you can certainly expect unconditional support, a listening-ear, and very likely lots of “I’ve been through that too!” as well. Wishing everyone all the best in your journeys and progress. @ShneurZ

A genuine listener who goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable and validate your experience. One of the best listeners on this platform by far. I couldn’t speak more highly of him.
