Need to talk to someone?

***Please note: I am not currently available for 1-on-1 support chats. With my roles as a community mentor leader, group support mentor, and chatroom moderator I will be focusing my efforts primarily on community teams, forums and group support activities.*** It's not a community without 'u'! About me: Others have described me as an empathetic individual who strives to be objective, motivational, and empowering. I do firmly believe that if you challenge yourself to look at a situation from a different angle you will see options you have overlooked, and that sometimes even unpalatable solutions need to be seen for what they are, possible solutions. I aim to offer a respectful and non-judgmental ear, keeping in mind that my personal values and beliefs are just that: Mine and need only apply to me/my life.  I am a member of the LGBTQ+ community, some of the labels I use, or have used, to describe(not define) myself include but are not limited to, lesbian, homoromantic asexual and demiromantic. While I am open to and accepting of all members of the LGBTQ+ community, I feel my personal experience makes me most suited to supporting those who relate to or don similar labels. Now entering my 40's I have had experiences with a variety of issues from early childhood to present. I have found this can enhance my natural ability to empathize while still offering alternate perspectives. I primarily provide support for and am most comfortable with topics I have indicated in my profile. There are certain topics that I do not take chats involving, namely drugs, alcohol, detailed discussion of sexual topics, or any which contravene the rules of 7 Cups. "No matter what we have come through, or how many perils we have safely passed, or how imperfect and jagged our life has been, we cannot in our heart of hearts imagine how it could have been different. As we look back on it, it slips in behind us in orderly disarray, and, with all its mistakes, acquires a sort of eternal fitness, and even, at times, a poetic glamour." – Randolph Silliman Bourne

I'm Rain. It's very nice meeting you! I'm a college student from Turkey. I am diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Despite my young age, I have been and continue to go through a lot journeying life, so I promise to offer a compassionate and judgment-free environment in our chats. I commend your courage and strength: reaching out for support is never easy!  **As listed on my profile, I only offer support chats in English.

Hello, I'm glad you've found me on 7 Cups of Tea. I'm a trained active listener and I like to support people struggling with. I've overcome a lot in life and would like to help by listening to you. I’ve been through the heart of the storm and endured conditions that would break most people. I’ve witnessed things no human should ever have to face, battled both inner struggles and external forces that were truly dark, and somehow found my way through it all. I’ve come out the other side of the storm stronger. Even though the sea may feel calm right now, I know how quickly the tides can turn.  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. Glad you are here! 😊

***** Not taking any 1-1 chats right now please use https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/ to find a Listener. ***** Will not take any chats with sex of any nature  I am sorry ***** ***** Current Roles *****  Adult and Teen Listener Forum and Room Supporter - for Mindfulness and 50+ Community Mentor - 50+ Needs reply Charoom Supporter - Listener support room 24/7 Mentor for new Listeners Peer supporter  I joined in December of 2017, to help those who have nowhere  to turn. I am here for new listeners also to mentor because beginning a role like a Listener can be scary and want to give back to them. to help guide them and supply the appropriate tolls ( forms, links ) to help them succeed in their role. I help also with any concerns a new listener may have. I have real fun making forum posts for topics that help in my groups Mindfulness and 50+. I think of topics and write a forum post either to educare us more or just to update on a topic of choice. I enjoy writing the post and hearing feedback from others on how a person feels about the topics . My experience on 7 cups makes me love the roles I have and new roles I may apply for. I have grown so much with 7 cups and use certain chat strategies in my friendships offline.

YAY 🧡🤩). I aim to be unbiased yet compassionate. Not a fairy godmother. Also I will ask questions that will encourage you to reflect about yourself - for some this may involve looking at parts of themselves that aren’t processed. So if you feel that you aren’t ready to explore things that have hurt you then you may choose to not talk to me. Be clear about what you need is my policy (If you feel you might go over 30 mins it’s best to come in with bullet points about what you want to talk about - e.g if the topic is trauma).  If all the above sounds good let me know if you want a chat.   When the circle near my profile pic is green that means I’m available to talk to you now. If you leave me a message and I don't respond this can because im busy (orange circle) or because im offline (red circle).  *30 min duration chats * Bright7cups former amazing twinning buddy - thank you ❤️

Not taking new chats. ------------------------- Coming, going, the waterbirds don't leave a trace, don't follow a path. I'm Charlie and I'm trained, verified and experienced as an active listener for both adults and teens. I like to support people who are struggling with something. Also people who aren't struggling with anything. And people who aren't sure whether they're struggling with anything or not. Please do not message me hoping to start a chat. I am not taking new chats. The poem is said to be by Eihei Dōgen, a Japanese poet who wrote it around eight hundred years ago. I don't know why I like it. I just do. My photo is the moon shining on the sea. There's some darkness and some clouds there but the light of the moon shines on everything. I like this too. Thank you for reading my profile. I'm glad you are here! ------------------------- In an emergency or a crisis: If you are in an emergency or a crisis—for example, if you are at immediate risk of suicide or other serious harm—7 Cups is not the right place, because we cannot deal with emergencies or provide crisis counselling. Click here for information about getting help: Get emergency or crisis support [https://rarelycharlie.github.io/howto/crisis] Listener support: I'm happy to support other listeners with issues related to listening, although I don't have any official role. Please do not message me from a listener account to chat about personal issues. Use a member account for that. To understand why, see: Listener and Member Roles [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenersOnlyForums_38/GlensThoughts_143/ListenerandMemberRoles_210/1/] Schedule: I don't have a fixed schedule. I'm online some weekdays between about 4:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. US Eastern Time. In the UK this is 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. On other days and at weekends I'm often online too, but at times that are not predictable. If you message me or tag me in a forum I'm usually able to respond within a day or two. Miscellaneous resources: For some other resources, mainly for listeners, see my unofficial companion site: The 8th Cup [https://rarelycharlie.github.io/]

I'm sorry I'm not accepting private chats. I will absolutely respond on the forums and chat there but that is my limit. Thank you for understanding :) I've always been a wordie type person. I devoured books when I was younger and now I love creating my own stories and blogging. I love wordie games like scramble and competing and challenging my brain. Switching off is fun also and some reality shows help me do that. I like working with you and offering potential ideas so that ultimately you do what is best for you. It's your time and space and I hope to create a safe chat bubble world for you to unburden. If you ask me personal questions, I'll be purposely vague, this is not about me, this is about helping you feel at ease :)
