🌸 I regret that I am currently unavailable to take new member chats. If we have chatted in the past, you may leave me a message, however there may be some delay in my reply 🌸 Hi, I'm Faerie, 🧚‍♀️ & I'm glad you found me here on 7cups I would like the opportunity to "hold your hand" through whatever subject you need help with, whether light or heavy. I will take the time to listen, without judgement. I'm a verified listener here, in the "35+" age group, & I have experience working with adolescents & adults, (including LGBTQIA+), professionally, & in volunteer positions. I have experience with a wide range of topics, including family issues, relationship issues, dv, rape, abuse, painful breakups, disabilities, homelessness, chronic pain, addictions & other speed-bumps/road-blocks that life throws us, often when least expected. I enjoy cooking, reading, painting (watercolors and sometimes acrylic), writing creatively, being independent, having picnics outside, music (of all different genres) & sci-fi, among many other things. Welcome! I look forward to meeting you! "Our sorrows and wounds are healed only when we touch them with compassion".

PLEASE READ MY WHOLE BIO BEFORE PROCEEDING TO SEND A REQUEST 😊 I'm Alexis, i would love to listen & help you out, i'm glad you're here! My passion is helping other people because i know how it feels like to struggle so much especially with things like chronic illness, anxiety, and relationship stress. I want people to feel supported.  *Listeners cannot give advice and are not professionals* If I am on red i cannot take any urgent support chats but will reply as soon as possible. if i am on green, i am available to listen and support you. :)  Just a little reminder that while I genuinely enjoy supporting others here on 7 Cups, I may occasionally step away to focus on my own mental health and self-care. Taking breaks is important, and even listeners need time to recharge. Please remember to set boundaries, and give yourself the same care you give to others. You matter, too!

I enjoy taking a warm, compassionate, and judgment-free approach to listening and connecting with others. Making people feel heard and understood is important to me, so know that I am here to listen and make you feel seen. You are not alone!

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.

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"

I’m someone who cares deeply about making people feel heard and understood. I try to bring empathy, patience, and honesty into every conversation, and I’m always working on becoming a better communicator. I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed or stuck, and that’s why I’m passionate about creating a safe, calm space for others to open up. I’m thoughtful, supportive, and genuinely interested in helping people feel less alone.
