Need to talk to someone?

Hi there! I'm Space and I’m passionate about focusing on the things in life that bring joy, comfort, and good energy. I'm in my 40's and I'm an old fashioned country gal. I love to bake sweets and breads. I have 4 cats and at the moment 30 chickens. I have a lot of lived experience but I dont know everything. I know a little bit about a lot of things. Every day may not be good, but theres something good in every day! My lived experience includes the following topics:                                        * Addiction                                                                               * Drug Abuse                                                                          * Recovery                                                                               * Anxiety                                                                            * Mood Disorder * Depression * Domestic Violence * PTSD * Social Anxiety  Topics I'd rather not discuss Include:   * Foster Care * Self Harm * Mens Issues * Racial/ Cultural Identity I believe everyone deserves a safe, non-judgmental space to unpack their thoughts. Whether you are dealing with a tough day or just need a warm, supportive person to listen, I am here to offer a kind ear. Let's take things one step at a time!

I welcome you to 7cups and hopefully you have just taken the first step in a direction you would like to go! I am an experienced listener as this has been an essential part of my work for several years. I am realistic in what I can do to help, and non-judgemental and sensitive in my approach  I have worked with people through many difficult times relating to a variety of life's issues and challenges - and I have also personal experience of some difficult life challenges and choices. I don't ever pretend I have all the answers though! But through talking and listening together, maybe I can help you reflect and talk more on whatever has brought you here, maybe from a different or wider perspective than you have so far seen, and maybe this will help you see your way forward a little more clearly. If my listening helps you to do that even in a small way, then perhaps you will feel more motivated, or positive, or re-assured, calmer or comforted - and that you will feel the time we will have shared has been worthwhile! We are all human ... and that makes us all unique in who we are but often we have life experiences in common. Many of those are challenges and choices that many others have faced, so surely it can make sense to share and learn from each other as we all go through life! So now that you have found 7cups and maybe even read my profile, all you need to do now is take the second step and make contact! If I am not on-line, please leave a message and I will reply as soon as I can to arrange a mutually convenient time to listen, share and reflect ..... and hopefully you can take the next step forward in the direction you want to go.

Hi! I'm someone who has experienced my own struggles with mental health, including schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, PTSD symptoms and a lot of compound trauma. These experiences have shaped my interest in psychology and my understanding of how complex the human mind can be. I know that mental health struggles can sometimes be difficult to explain, and that being understood isn't always easy. Sometimes, we don't need someone to give us advice or tell us what to do. We simply need someone willing to listen without judgment. As a listener, I hope to provide a safe, respectful, and supportive space where you can talk about your experiences at your own pace. I may not understand everything you have been through, but I'll do my best to listen with an open mind and understand your perspective. I believe that people are more than their struggles, and that everyone deserves to be heard with dignity and compassion. You don't have to pretend to be okay here.

I have always believed that foundations matter more than appearances. I grew up in a world where things were built by hand and understood from the inside out. That instinct never left me. Whether machines or ideas, I care about structure — about what holds something together when time tests it. Memory has become important to me. The past feels solid, almost physical. It reminds me that time reshapes everything, and that if something is to endure, it must be built with intention. I value discipline, privacy, and quiet strength. I believe clarity reduces chaos, and that refinement is a lifelong practice. I am still building — systems, stories, and meaning — and I suspect that the work itself is the point.

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! 😊

How can we treat/heal someone without Indulging/stepping into their shoes?

Hello i found this place when I was looking for someone to talk to, but then I decided to become a listener because what makes me feel more human is when I help someone even by just listening because I know how it feels when you need to be heard. I can’t solve your problems but I will do my best to make you feel better.

Hello, my name is Alice and I love helping people find a moment of peace.

Step right up. Whether navigating overwhelming stress or just having a wild day, offering a deeply empathetic, considerate, and calming anchor is the top priority here. Safe space, deep empathy, and absolute zero judgment. Whenever you're ready to unpack the noise, let's take a breath and figure it out together.
