Hello, and thank you for taking a moment to read my profile.

If you’re deciding whether to accept my chat request, here’s a little bit about who I am and why I’m here:

I’m a simple soul with a complex history, and I’ve learned that sharing my thoughts openly is healthier for me than bottling everything up. I come to 7Cups when I need space to breathe, process, and feel understood.

My faith matters to me, but I’ve been struggling with consistency, connection, and understanding. I’m trying to rebuild my relationship with God while navigating doubts, exhaustion, and the realities of everyday life.

A major part of my emotional world changed in June when my father fell and became quadriplegic. Overnight, I became a full-time caregiver, balancing his mental health, my own, and the grief of how quickly life shifted. It’s been overwhelming, isolating, and transformative all at once.

I’m married, but I experience waves of emotional and physical neglect, and I’m trying to find ways to heal, communicate, and work on the marriage rather than give up on it. I also carry a long history of people-pleasing and fawning—habits that formed growing up with a narcissistic mother and an emotionally dysregulated father. Unlearning these patterns has been hard, but I’m doing my best.

Parenting is another area where I often feel stretched thin. I love deeply, but I sometimes struggle with patience, balance, and identity. I’m learning how to show up better while still giving myself grace.

Health and weight management are huge focuses for me as well. Over the past year I’ve lost 120 lbs, but I continue to battle consistency, meal planning issues, bulimia tendencies, and motivation. Honest, supportive conversations help keep me grounded.

In the past, I served as a verified listener here on 7Cups. I’ve since stepped back into a member-only role due to the stress of life, but I still bring the same compassion, experience, and understanding into conversations.

I also have an interest in BDSM and have participated in D/s dynamics before. I’m open to discussing this only in a respectful, consensual, and judgment-free way. If it’s not a topic you’re comfortable with, please just say so — your boundaries will always be respected.

Thank you for considering a conversation with me.

Life is heavy right now, and having someone to talk to truly means a lot.

Wishing you peace and gentleness today. ☺︎
