Bio
I've suffered from undiagnosed depression and anxiety for years. Finally decided to see if it was the real deal, turns out it was. I was here before I took my depression seriously which helped me on the path to a healthier lifestyle.

I want to thank the users that leave feedback, it's always nice to know that I'm helping and not making things worse for people. My knowledge is based on my personal experiences and information that has been given to me. I feel that I'm a good listener in person which was one of the main reasons I decided to try it here.

...See more I just needed to write my thoughts down somewhere. It's been about 6 months since I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I actually cried on the way home because I was so happy to have been reassured I wasn't making it all up. I tried talking to friends and family before it but it was just shrugged off as "we all have bad days" or didnjust they't believe me when I said that I don't know what's wrong which makes them think I'm being a drama queen. During these 6 months I've had my ups and downs but for the most part the amount of happiness I had vastly outweighed the negatives and I definitely felt like nothing was holding me back anymore. Getting a new job and my first datw was probably the two biggest forms of happiness I've ever felt. For breif moment I felt truly loved and makes me believe that someone else might be out there who will stick with me a little longer. Now both of those happy memories are slowly rotting away. I still love the job but the lack of hours that are available is effecting my income and thus means I need to find more work to compensate. And for the date, it went well but after the second meetup I was told I wasn't her type, which hit me like a truck as I really didn't expect it. It was still an overall positive experience but I'd rather not be single right now. I'm just a little down that my happinesses is coming and going. I'll get there again. I feel the need to write more but there is a word count.

...See more In the setting page you can "Select areas that you have expertise, experience, or real interest in supporting". I was just wondering there could be a change so that listeners can select items they do not wish to talk about because of triggers, no experience in or just feeling uncomfortable and other similar reasons.

...See more I first found the website about a year ago with my member account when I was looking for someone to talk to. After receiving the support I needed I soon wanted to become a listener and did so. Even though I did create my account a long time ago I have only just recently started using my account. From the short time I've been here I've loved the support I have recieved and I want to thank all of you for being so great :)

Thanks much.
Wonderful listener who offered empathy, patience and kindness throughout our conversation. They're one of my favorite listeners and recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing ear to hear and be the emotional support they need.
I don't know what was the reason but I felt free of pain for the first time after days. looking forward to continuing our conversation.
