Need to talk to someone?

**I’m unable to take new member chats at this time** Hello! Welcome to my bio ♡ You can call me Shadow. I'm here to offer a safe/nonjudgmental place to talk and I will do my best to support you. My goal is to give you that space and try to help you through whatever it is you have going on. I will not offer advice, as it can be harmful and only you know your situation well enough to make decisions on it, but I would be more than happy to help you come up with ideas on how to cope with things and manage your situation! I am so proud of you for reaching out <3 I am here to be your safe space and sounding board as well as be someone to stand in your corner and cheer you on. We can come up with ideas together to help improve your situation but ultimately you will need to make the final decisions for yourself. If you feel like I would be a good listener for you feel free to reach out! My response time is typically within 24-72 hours ♡ **Please note that I am only able to take support chats for 30-60 minutes at a time. Thank you. ꕥ Have an amazing day! ꕥ

I am a trained active listener and am able to offer support most effectively for those who are going through addiction, anxiety, domestic violence, eating disorders, grief, and trauma.

👉 Please note: I am currently NOT taking new member requests. Thank you for your understanding!  🌈 LGBTQIA+ FRIENDS YOU ARE WELCOME HERE Hey! I'm Tova ✨ I’m a kinda ratchet, neurodivergent Midwestern girl with a big heart, a sarcastic sense of humor, and a whole lot of lived experience. I’m a work in progress, a survivor, a recovering addict and alcoholic, a mom, a nerd, a fabulous bestie, and someone who genuinely believes that our mess can become our message. ❤️ One of the things I love most is mentoring other listeners and helping them achieve their 7 Cups goals. I adore listening, and I believe that sometimes having someone who truly listens, understands, and doesn’t judge can make all the difference. I’m also the proud Mom of a neurodivergent son, and I’m 16 years sober from alcoholism and drug addiction. These days, my full-time job is going to Spravato treatments, doing the hard work of healing my treatment-resistant depression, and continuing to work on myself. My dream full-time job is becoming a Peer Support Specialist/Recovery Specialist so I can use my education and what I’ve learned to help others find their way through recovery and life. I’m also a makeup artist and skincare expert, musician, computer nerd, Star Wars geek, Trekkie, bestie to kitties everywhere, and a famous chef… at least in my own mind. 😂 I'm always looking for Cups friends!

Hi there, I am hermione. An Indian, who knows English, hindi, Kannada. Though I can't type in Hindi or kannada. Life can be really tough. And that happens with the best of us too. I know. Sometimes you just don't feel anything positive. Or feel that things aren't at their best state. So at such times everybody reacts differently. But yeah a common reaction is wanting to talk, to share. And I am here for that.  because sometimes the only thing you wish for is to be heard, no solutions or anything [as you are always the best adviser to yourself] but well i do have a ear which i like lending. I promise I will try my best to listen to you and not judge you for what happened.  some information about the roles i hold here I am a  verified listener room supporter in the mindfulness room chat supporter to fellow listeners quality mentor listener coaching team trainee peer pro Member of safety patrol Doorkeeper  i have  finished active listening 1,2,3 and 4 finished all the training courses  graduated quality listening program with honors graduated the leadership development program with honors Finished time management course Finished the inner development goals course.
