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.

I m currently actively managing a community, so it is difficult for me to be available for 1-1 chat. If you wish to have conversation/ discussion then please be patient with me, as i m not available all the time. Otherwise You may contact any other listener. Thank you. Overthinking is like a swamp — the more a person gets trapped in the same thought, the deeper they continue to sink. If you hold a glass 🥛 in your hand, keeping it for one minute feels easy. But if you keep holding the same glass for an hour, your arm starts to go numb. The same is true for worries and problems. Thinking about an issue for a few moments is wisdom, but keeping it constantly on your mind weakens a person’s courage, peace, and ability to make decisions. Peace in life does not come from continuously thinking about everything. It comes from removing unnecessary burdens from the mind and taking practical steps. When a person learns to “put the glass down,” the burden naturally begins to feel lighter. 📖 Extract from "The Art of Not Overthinking"

Hi! I'm Gabby. I'm a friendly and understanding person who enjoys listening to others and helping people feel heard. I know that sometimes you don't need someone to solve everything for you. you just need someone who will listen without judging you. I'm here to provide a safe space where you can talk about whatever is on your mind. Whether you're dealing with stress, school, relationships, loneliness, family problems, or simply having a difficult day, I'm happy to listen and talk things through with you. You donthave to rush, tou can take your time, be yourself, and say what's on your mind. I'll do my best to listen with patience, understanding, and respect. * My native is English 🇬🇧🇺🇸 and i speak Russian🇷🇺, Estonian🇪🇪, English, Latvian 🇱🇻 and German fluently 🇩🇪 well Not Russian fluently but it’s conversational ;))   Belarussian is arightt im a2 though so not good * I’m a Hetalia fan

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 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. Everyone deserves someone to talk to and I hope I can be of some sort of assistance :) I can talk about anything with you if you need to vent and I will do my best to help you out. I am not extremely experienced in any fields, but I have depression, anxiety, and a ton of dissorders that i keep in check but am aware in the ways which it can affect people. I am an active member of the LGBT community being a bisexual woman, I love movies, music, art etc, i just love to talk in general. So whether you need a distraction or someone to help you through what you are going through- I hope to hear from you :)

Fluent in anxiety, panic, and finding the funny moments hidden inside life’s most chaotic chapters. Surviving plenty of personal twists and turns over the years has left a premium supply of genuine kindness and deep consideration to share. Need a safe space to vent, slow down, and breathe? 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.

I’m a trained active listener with a steady interest in psychology and the quiet, complicated places we all carry inside. I’m here to offer a calm, judgement-free space to talk, unpack, vent, reflect, or simply breathe for a while. My Approach I don’t rush. I move at your pace with clarity and respect. I don’t assume. My focus is understanding you, not fixing you. Some conversations are deep. Some are casual. Both are welcome here. Programs Completed: • Verified Active Listener • Quality Listening Program (Honors) 🎓 • Leadership Development Program (Honors) 🎓 I support adults (18+). I'm frequently online, although replies may be slower during working hours. If you reach out, I’ll be here with steadiness and an open mind. ------------------------- “It always seems impossible until it is done.” — Nelson Mandela
