*** I am not currently taking chats! ***

Welcome! I like to support people struggling with abuse, self harm, mental illness, miscarriage/baby loss, or related issues. I've overcome (or am on a recovery journey for) all of the above, and would like to help you take another step on your journey by listening.

Since "mental illness" is such a broad category, I just want to clarify that the particular mental illnesses I have personal experience with, and a formal diagnosis of, include Major Depressive Disorder (MDD - in my case recurrent with psychotic effects), Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Depersonalisation Disorder (DpD) and Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). I am willing and able to talk about a variety of things though, so don't think you can't message me if you haven't been diagnosed with one of those.

Please don't message me for chats about violent intentions towards others/animals, or sexual problems/issues as I'm both unfamiliar and uncomfortable with those. I also don't take chats about abortion, although I do take those on forced abortion. Please don't message me regarding Ritual Abuse as I absolutely will not take these due to personal triggers.

I believe that pain is relative, and that if you're in pain, that's real and valid, no matter what your experiences leading up to today. Please don't hesitate to message me because you're afraid your pain isn't "big" enough -- all pain matters.

On the lighter side of things, I enjoy writing (poetry and flash fiction), reading, creating/crafting and cuddling animals. I'm the kind of person who'll cross the road to say hi to your dog and ask if you mind me patting him or her, and I'll make silly faces at your child to make them smile.

If I'm online, then please feel free to start a chat. If I'm offline, then send me a message and we can set up a time to connect. I'm looking forward to meeting you and offering some support.
