 🌞 Introduction 🌞  Life is hard; we all know it. It's full of positive and negative moments, very few of which we have complete control over. You don't predict the future, the future predicts you. It's great to see that you're reaching out for support today. It may feel incredibly difficult to ask for guidance, be it for a current or a past situation - you are not alone in how you feel. Members: I'm currently... available for chats! Please feel free to send me a message, though do make sure that your situation matches with one of the topics listed in my profile. Listeners: I'm currently unavailable for all types of mentoring chats. Please refer to another mentor here [https://www.7cups.com/listener/listenerMentors.php?_gl=1*21f6t5*_ga*OTc5NTI0OTE2LjE2NzQ4NDk4Mjc.*_ga_B4EP65N395*MTY5MjEwMDY4OS4xNTguMS4xNjkyMTAyNDYwLjAuMC4w]. How I Listen: 🌞 I will ensure that you, as a person, are validated. How you feel is perfectly okay. 🌞 Please be aware that I will not be offering advice, as it could be very harmful to both you and your situation, and could cause offence. 🌞 You will suffer no judgement from me. 🌞 Our chat will be as supportive and comforting as possible. 🌞 Finally, I will make sure that you are heard. Your voice deserves to be listened to. -------------------------  🌻 My Involvements 🌻   🌻 Quality 🌻  o Verified Adult-Teen Listener: I completed an interview and a mock chat with a highly experienced listener to show that I'm suitable to chat with teens, and a listener of high quality.  🌻 o Listener Verifier Team: I verify listeners through the Verified Listener project!

Hello! I am having surgery on 4/9/2024, and will be taking the time I need to recover. I will not be able to respond to messages immediately during this time. Thank you for your understanding!♥️ 💖Hi there💖 I am so glad you’re here, and that you feel able to share things that may be difficult for you to open up about. I’m here to listen and be a shoulder to lean on when you need it the most. Sometimes just being there for someone is enough. This is a no-judgement zone. I have had a lot of direct-lived experiences with mental and physical health issues, and completely understand what it is like to be misunderstood or unheard and having no one to turn to. Feeling alone and isolated in your own body is extremely hard. However, I’ve discovered over time that this actually tends to be when you need the support the most. Please let me be that person for you during these difficult moments.❤️ I want you to be able to feel comfortable talking with me, but if you feel like I am not understanding you correctly and you would prefer to talk to someone else, I completely understand and would not take this personally. Please just let me know as I will be able to recommend someone for you and your specific needs. I have some personal triggers relating to medical topics, but I will be sure to let you know during the chat if this is the case at any point. I appreciate your understanding with this. I am studying at university right now and it can get pretty hectic at times. Whilst I am fast to respond when I am online, this will not be the case for the rest of the day. Please be patient with me, I will respond as soon as I am able to😊 My roles here: * Verified Listener * Approved Adult-Teen Listener * Listener Verifier Team * Peer Supporter * Chat Support (Adult/Teen) * Listener Chatroom Mentor (Adults/Teens) * Listener Discussions Team * Doorkeeper (ask me to open/close a room!) * Quality Mentor * Listener Coaching Team * Safety Patrol Team * Quality Mentoring - Project Agent * Anonymous Evaluations Team * Needs Reply Team Co-Leader I have successfully completed: * Internship Programme - with Honours * Leadership Development Programme - with Honours * Time Management Course * Community Building Course My listener twin buddy is: @Kristynsmama My Listener Twin Brain is: @Fuechsin - it feels like we share the same brain cells! 😊🩷 Credit to: AnnaSilverberg for my profile pic design😁

Bio in German/auf Deutsch [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YWfxu7AqLNtqkRbzt_u5kePsWKYc6s4jVEkxXFrFdrk/edit] ------------------------- Due to my health, I might be offline for some days without a warning from time to time. But don't worry, eventually I'll come back. ------------------------- About me Hey, I am audienta (they/them). I have been here on 7 Cups since 2017, so I have had the chance to gather a lot of experiences I am very grateful for. Sometimes life just does not work like we would like it to, but the conversations showed me again and again how resilient we as human beings are. My own mental and physical health have been challenging me for a while now. I have had to learn how to set boundaries and listen to my own needs. There are days when I can do that and there are others where it does not work. And that is okay. We all give our best to accept and live our life. I had the honour to be interviewed for the Living with Leaders series [https://www.7cups.com/forum/CommunityProjectsEvents_184/LivingwithLeaders_2290/InnerWisdomandLight_280987/], so if you want to know more about me, that might be an option. ------------------------- Offers and Boundaries My Offers: Trained, verified active Listener: I take 1-1 member chats which take between 30 and 60 minutes and listen to you. I am a patient and non-judgemental listener. I cannot give you advice, but I can ask questions and am open to offer peer support and share my experiences if you wish that. Adult Teen Listener: I can take chats from adults as well as from teens. Chat Topics that I have experience with and am okay to talk about: * Anxiety * Autism Spectrum Disorder * Bullying * Chronic Illness * Dissociative Disorders * LGBTQ+ * Self-Care * Student Life Languages: I can listen to you in English, German and Swissgerman. My Boundaries:  Only offline chats: I'll respond to your messages within 1-3 days, but I'm currently not able to do live chats. Chat Topics that I am not able to provide support for because of a lack of experience or trigger risk: * Family Stress * Financial Stress * Parenting * Relationship Stress/Breakups * Self Harm * Sexual Health * Weight Management ------------------------- Projects Trauma Support Community Mentor Leader: I support the trauma support sub-community as a community mentor leader. If you have feedback, questions or ideas regarding this community, please leave me a pm or use this form:  Trauma Sub-Community Feedback Form [https://forms.gle/tvajKJmLKhqfxwrH9] Anonymous Evaluations Outreach Team Quality Mentor Leader: I make sure that people who had three good evaluations get a chance to be verified and listeners who need help get connected to the Listener Coaching Team. Sub-Community Leadership Team (PA): I'm helping with recruiting and onboarding new forum supporters. Quality Mentor: As a mentor, I can take you as a mentee. I can help you improve your listening skills, do mock chats with you, give you resources, provide emotional support, and answer your questions. Chat Supporter: If you struggle with an ongoing chat, I can provide tips and resources to you. I can do that either in the Listener Support Room, or, if you need to describe the chat with more than 5 words, in the pms.  Adult Teen Listener with the Peter Pan, Teen Chat Support, and Teen Quality Mentor badge: I can provide support to adult and teen listeners. Doorkeeper: You can pm me if you want a room opened or closed. ------------------------- Most Important Resources Suicidal ideation, self harm: On 7 Cups we cannot offer crisis support.  7 Cups Crisis [/www.7cups.com/crisis] Chat Support: If you are a listener and need help with an ongoing chat, take a look at the linked document.

You really made my life a little brighter. Tagging my twinnie @MelodyoftheOcean.

I am here for you! 💜I am now an ATL so both teens and adults can message me💜 Please note- I am generally unavailable for casual chats. 💜   💜💜Let's make it a happier place for everyone!!💜💜 Quick note- I am no longer an ambassador. For any VL related queries, please reach out to @ASilentObserver [http://7cups.com/@ASilentObserver] I can talk about most topics. Chats I am uncomfortable with- Self harm, a member under influence, parenting (like I'm uncomfortable talking about things from a parental point of view. If you want to talk about your parents, that's okay) Members- Please go through the first part of my bio before sending me a message/request (I've indicated till where). If that seems like a lot you can simply read the highlighted and underlined portions I chat for not more than 45 minutes at a time. I am here to listen compassionately and without judgement. The chat will be confidential.💜💜 I can talk about all topics except self harm and parenting. (You can talk about your parents, but not about your kids please).💜 I am uncomfortable chatting about self harm (due to personal reasons) If you want to talk about it please contact another listener. Also if you are thinking about doing it now then please contact a crisis resource 7cups.com/crisis [https://www.7cups.com/7cups.com/crisis] I am uncomfortable talking to members who are under the influence (of alcohol or any other narcotic substance) I am comfortable chatting with neurodiverse members and DID/OSDD systems. I do take chats about sexual assault, PTSD and LGBTQ+ issues💜💜 I do take chats on sexual health (but I am very selective here). Please don't ask me to control your urges or for any inappropriate "help". Please keep in mind that this website is for emotional support, and I would appreciate it if you can be respectful and considerate. I may be unfamiliar with some of the topics you may want to talk about, but I can read up on them during the chat or in-between chat sessions...since sadly I can't know everything (though I wish I did). However if I didn't mention a topic, I am comfortable talking about it. My triggers- Self-harm (and related descriptions). For all members- before reaching out to chat, please check my status- Red(offline)- I am offline and not replying. However you can still drop messages and I will get back to you later. Response time 48 hours Green(online)- I am online, free and open to your chat requests… Orange(Busy)- I am here but I already am talking to too many people here or busy somewhere on 7cups so I am unable to give you the attention you deserve. I recommend you to look for another listener by clicking here [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/].... Response time 3-4 hours max.  Note for all members Please note that if I am in the chatrooms and my status is offline, that means I am not currently available for chatting in the PMs.(Usually it means I am about to log out soon and therefore can't chat). In that case you can send me a PM and I'll get back to you in 48h. I do care about you a lot because you are an awesome person...I'll do my best to support you!! If I am unable to do so for any reason, please feel free to reach out to another amazing listener here [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/]. You may not be comfortable with me, and I totally respect that and want you to get the best help possible. My PMs are a safe space where you can talk about things, and I am here for you. I care for you all💜💜 I have been facing memory difficulties (due to dissociation), so I may not always remember details about what you tell me, or sometimes I might lose track of what you are talking about. I sometimes might also miss out on tags or messages for the same reason, in which case you are very welcome to follow up with me or tag me again within 2-3 days. Please bear with me on that, and remember that I am here for you, and I am trying my best. My sincerest apologies for the same. Also I'm slow to reply to tags so if it's urgent, message me the link to the post as well💜 *💜sends lots of love for you💜* Please note that I do not check in regularly (since I find it hard to keep track of that), so my listening style is more like you can peek in anytime you need support. Members whom I've spoken to before are welcome to drop a message when they need support as well💜.  Important note- I am a trained listener but I am not a professional therapist so I will be unable to give you advice and/or therapy-like support. You can still drop me a message if you want to talk about what you're struggling with, I'll be here to listen to you. If you are looking for professional therapy (paid) here at 7Cups and you are an adult then please click here [https://www.7cups.com/online-therapy/?ob=1] Unfortunately 7Cups doesn't offer therapy for teens but I hope you get the support you need and deserve.

Some people like to call me cool nicknames like Little Lav, Lave, Lavy, Lavvie, Law(?), Empa, or even Lab (short for laboratory- I love lab)- so if you are too lazy to type Lavender and are bored of Lav then you can call me all that.   The lovely @courageousheart96 [http://7cups.com/@courageousheart96] dedicated an emoji to me (I'm so honoured hehe)- the lav heart💜💜 💜💜You can use pronouns they/them for me💜💜 I am an ace (asexual) and an ally for the LGBTQ+/MOGII community.

Members please feel free to message me if you want to talk about these with a listener who has experience. Languages- I speak English, French (well I don't "speak" French well, it's kinda rusty) and I am trying to learn basic Korean. I also speak (but won't be chatting in) Hindi My trigger- self harm 💜Hugs are no longer a trigger for me💜 I said a lot already so I would prefer it if you don't come up with very personal questions (and please don't ask any personal questions for a second time).

I am, however, always open to new members via slow pace chats. Members are always welcome to seek support from me by exchanging offline messages with a maximum response time 48 hours from my side. My favourite place on 7Cups is the PMland- so feel free to text me anytime and I'll surely get back to you within 48h. And my PMs are a spam-friendly space for all :) 💜💜 A quick note- My country shown changes from time to time, since it reflects the country I am currently in. This is to ensure transparency regarding the timezone I am in. I generally reply to all PMs within 48 hours. If I'm on a break or unable to reply timely for any reason I'll surely add that to the top of my bio. If I did not reply within this time, it does not mean I'm angry or anything, because of memory issues or technical glitches I may sometimes miss messages. My sincerest apologies for the same. So in that case please feel free to send me another message. Also response time may be a bit delayed on weekends but I'll try to ensure it's within 48 hours. 💜 You might know me from my previous username (empatheticLavender2924)- changed it since this one is simpler:) My roles here- 💜First and foremost- I am a verified listener [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenerLearningJourney_149/QualityProjectsVerifiedListeners_144/IWanttobeaVerifiedListener_46935/1/] which means I am someone who will try their best to listen to you.

Sometimes the weather is not good- sometimes it is sunny and sometimes cloudy and rainy. Sometimes the rain is a storm that destroys everything. The storm felt never-ending and overwhelming. However the storm has calmed down, and is not scary and risky anymore. The sunlight comes back, but all you can see is the damage from the storm (post-trauma effects). The damage looks terrible but you can't look away from it.  Here- I'll remind you- look how far you've come- you've survived the scary storm. That's amazing. There will be damage and that's totally ok. Remember you can make it through- since you survived the storms you are strong enough to slowly clean the mess and heal. That is sad as it will remind you of the storm, and the mess is huge. It takes time to clean up, but you can do this. I know you can. And to those friends of mine whose storms aren't over yet- I see you, I hear you. I know you too are doing your very best and did nothing to deserve this. It might feel like the storm will never end- it will be here forever. But the storm will be over. One day things will get better. And after that you might have to do the post-storm cleaning (or post-traumatic healing) and that is hard, but you got this. One day you'll look back on everything and be really proud of yourself- how hard you tried and how far you've come. If you feel like you are trying but tired, and scared and worried, I hear you. It is tiring to manage everything, and sometimes it is hard to talk about it. But if you want someone to be there for you- I am just one PM away. Come talk to me about it (or any other listener here). We are all here for you, and you can do it because you are amazing and brave. The end of my bio;) This bio is so long, smh so I'll stop here. Sending lots of healing beams for you, yes you amazing fairy!!
