Bio

Hello there! I'm super happy you've found me on 7 Cups of Tea. I'm a trained active listener and I like to support people struggling with depression, anxiety, chronic pain, alcoholism, drug abuse, self worth, and family issues. I enjoy music (especially live concerts and festivals), movies, card games, art, cooking, and crafts. I've had a lot dealt to me in my life and understand a lot about guilt and overcoming negative self-talk. I would like to help by listening to you. If I'm online, then please start a chat with me, I'm here to listen. If I'm offline, then send me a message and I will set up a time to chat with you as soon as I can. I'm glad you're here and I can't wait to listen to you. I believe you can overcome negative feelings and feel better.

Like a lot of people, I found 7 Cups of Tea through Tumblr.

...See more I've had a Tumblr page for years, a couple actually. Throughout the years I would search things like 'alone', 'sadness', 'depression', and 'anxiety'. I even looked through the 'thinspo' tags because I had heard that phrase mentioned and had no idea what it meant. Within the last year or so I started getting the "Are you okay?" message from Tumblr when I would search these certain tags. The first time I saw it I actually cried. Tumblr cared enough about everyone on their site to say 'hey, are you okay? do you need help? here's some info that might help you'. I had never experienced that on a website before. I had been part of LiveJournal for over tens years at that time and they never had anything like that, I know 7 Cups probably didn't exist that far back but it meant so much that a site I was on all the time cared enough to say something.  For a long time I just closed the window asking if I was okay and kept searching the tags that would have pictures or posts describing my feelings. I eventually was diagnosed with major depressive disorder, general anxiety disorder, and fibromyalgia. It was relieving to finally know that I wasn't just sad or dramatic or imagining the pain I constantly felt. But with the fibro diagnoses I fell back into a dark place again. I started searching the tags for pain and anxiety and that familiar message popped up again. This time I read it all word for word and click on the link for 7 Cups of Tea. I was linked to a listener named Aleeza and she helped me feel so much better about what was going on in my life. I've talked to other listeners when I needed it and it's been a life saver. Aleeza mentioned to me that I could feel better by helping others and volunteering. I decided to become a listener here and it's been so rewarding. I finaly feel like I'm making a difference and helping people. I'm glad I found this place and I'm glad for anyone that's helped me through a tough time. Everyone here that's here to help is just amazing and I wanna give you all far-away-high-fives.
