Hi! Here to support <3

I have hEDS + I’ve had heart problems, so I’m good to talk about physical health

I’m Christian and love to answer questions about Christianity, if you’re curious

🌟 My Listening strengths: brainstorming ideas, making plans, and finding and sharing resources to learn from. I do best on asynchronous/offline chats, replying when we each have the time, instead of live, at the same time.

⭐️ My Listening weak spots: vent support and sometimes I struggle to connect to things I haven’t experienced.

Here and ready to chat! 💚🌿🍵

Talking to someone else right now. However, I might be around for a bit afterwards. 💛🌻🔅

Not taking chats right now, sorry! Feel free to leave a message, I’ll usually respond within a day or two, unless my written status says otherwise. ❤️🍄🐞

.•*° Chat Topics °*•.

I have personal experience with: chronic pain, disabilities, disassociation, getting unstuck, loneliness, OCD, PTSD, BPD, cultural identity (as a mixed person), self harm, spirituality, and student life. I include some things that I’m not comfortable talking about, because while it isn’t a topic that I’d like to discuss, it influences how I think and respond.

I’ve taken special training in: Acceptance Commitment Therapy, test anxiety, bullying. Up next: boundaries!

I don’t have experience, but I will try to be supportive in chats about: LGBTQ+, breakups, men’s issues, and adoption/foster care. If something starts going outside of my area of expertise, I’ll let you know, and you can decide whether you want to keep talking, or look for another listener/different resource.

I don’t take chats on: abuse, sexual abuse, sexual harassment, suicide topics, eating disorders, or grief. If a conversation that started on another topic starts drifting there, I’ll let you know if I’m uncomfortable.

Please, if you are actively self harming, don’t message a listener. They won’t be able to give you the help that you need. Go to 7cups.com/crisis for proper support and resources.
