------------------------- I am currently on a break from 7 Cups and will not be around much. I am not accepting new member chats for the time being. ------------------------- Hey there! I believe that everyone has a story that deserves to be heard. Whatever your story may be, I am here to listen with curiosity and without judgment. My goal as a listener is not to fix things but to understand them so you do not have to carry their weight alone. I aim to create a welcoming space where you can share your story freely with someone who will sit beside you and truly listen. No matter how big or small your story feels, I care about it. I believe deeply in listening with an open mind and genuine curiosity because everyone’s story matters. When life feels heavy, one of my favorite things to do is take a long walk through nature, sometimes alone, sometimes with a friend. I hope that talking with me can feel a little like that, like taking a quiet walk with someone who listens, who cares, and who helps you breathe a little easier along the way. ------------------------- Session info: 🕐 Session of 60 minutes at a time! ------------------------- Status: 🟢 Green: I am currently online and accepting personal requests. My response time will be within a few minutes. 🟠 Orange: I am online, though I might be occupied with other 7 Cups related things, such as already being in a chat, or in a public chatroom. My response time may vary (20-60 minutes). 🔴 Red: I am currently offline. Please leave me a message and I will try to get back to you as soon as I can. This might take up to 48 hours. ------------------------- Special Cups Corner: ✨Twin Brain Listener:✨ 🎀@Bow64🧠 Tybow, through typos and through laughs, I am grateful and proud to call you my friend!

Hi! I have to take some time away right now, flying south for the summer. Stay strong. You can do this! 🦋❤️🦋 Right now I am busy with my long-term members and I am not taking on any new ones. So if you have messaged me I urge you to seek another listener using the https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/  link. There you can search using the filter option. I will update here when things change.  ~~~*~~~  "I am glad you have found me here at 7 Cups! I am happy to listen to you on many topics. I have experience in lots of different areas - anxiety, depression, and mental illness, families, and relationships, love, school, college, or work-related problems, financial stress, healthy living, food, and special diets, I can also offer support for chronic pain, illness, and disabilities. I am part of both the adult and the teen listening team, (and yes I can still remember being a teen lol) and I also offer long-term support to those that I can and who are in need. If I am not online then you are welcome to leave me a message -  but please tell me what you want to talk about so we can get off to a flying start. I will get back to you when I am next able, but please bear in mind that I get a lot of messages and I will reply to the most urgent first so if you just say hi, do you really just want a hi back? If you are a teen turning 18 in the near future, or if you have already turned 18 and feel like some more support then you can apply for one of the Teen Transition Mentor Team, including me, to reach out and support you through the transition from the teen side to the 18+ adult side.  The form is here ~~~> https://bit.ly/7CupsTTM If you have any feedback or ideas for the Disability Support Community then please fill out this form ~~> https://forms.gle/EJN1SX74mo6swPwN6  At weekends my response will be slower as that is usually my time off from 7 Cups, and I may not respond to any PMs or new requests till Monday. I  hope you understand that. We all need time for ourselves to recharge our batteries and relax.  ONE STEP AT A TIME "We all have different-sized footsteps that we leave behind on our journey through life. Sometimes we can change the size of our footsteps, the imprint, the impact, the direction. Sometimes our footsteps land on rock and they do not show, or they land on sand and stay for a while, Other times they get washed away by massive oceans or powerful waves. But each and every footstep is important in so many ways. Ways that we may not even know about. Watch your step, think about your steps, plan your next step, and the rest will follow."  Listening ... one step at a time Quote of Acceptance When we don't accept an undesired event, it becomes Anger, When we accept it, it becomes tolerance. When we don't accept uncertainty, it becomes fear, When we accept it, it becomes an adventure,  When we don't accept other's bad behaviour toward us, it becomes hatred, When we accept it, it becomes forgiveness. When we don't accept other's success, it becomes jealousy When we accept it, it becomes an inspiration. Acceptance is the key to handling life well !! Butterflies are a symbol of hope that we can all change from a small brown grub into a beautiful amazing butterfly! One step at a time! "Those who never change their minds, never change anything!" (Winston S. Churchill) "Prepare for the worst, but hope for the best!"  (B. Disraeli) Pearls are a great symbol of the grace we create, for the oyster creates its greatest work of art from an irritant!

Hello. I'm Violet

I believe I'm a philosopher, a frozen heart, yet a lover of humanity, someone nonjudgmental, a protagonist-minded antagonist, something out of a classic novel, filled with endless humor, a little dark humor with a pinch of sarcasm, and rarely narcissistic.  "Love is the only reality, and it is not a mere sentiment." — Kahlil Gibran

Welcome to 7 Cups. My name is Robbie, and I would be honored if you would allow me to be your Listener for a while. I have done a lot of living in my somewhat short-ish existence; and a lot of that living involved some rather harsh and painful obstacles. I've managed to sort through quite a bit, and come out on the other end a better person (at least I hope so!!). At one time or another, I've faced: an alcoholic and drug-addicted sibling, traumatic breakup from someone, being bullied in middle school, stresses that come from having a family torn apart by tragedy, a supremely stressful work environment, along with the depression, anxiety (plus panic disorder), and problems sleeping that you'd expect would result from having survived all these things. I've also been doing my best to cope with PTSD.  Obviously I am no expert...what I am is someone softhearted, intelligent, compassionate, affectionate, and honest. I am always more than happy to listen to others, and will do my very best to help you. Together, we can figure it out...together, we can help one another and learn from the experience of having shared a brief moment in time as confidants and friends. I hope you'll give me a chance to do that. While I am happy to be here for whoever wishes to talk to me, please note that I am not currently accepting any new long-term Members.  A few chat sessions is fine, but I do not have the energy right now for anything long-term.  I will also not accept any chats about incest.  I've been lied to about that topic before and it just isn't worth it for me to risk.

🌸 WELCOME! 🌸 I'm an experienced verified listener who is open minded, non-judgemental and I'm open to almost all topics. All I ask is that you respect my boundaries, such as my time constraints and/or my statuses (see at the bottom of bio). Whilst I support the topic of sexual health, this does not mean I am comfortable discussing kinks/fetishes, nor will I partake in anything of that nature either.  I cannot replace the role of a therapist/psychologist. If you feel that you need more support for your mental health condition or require advice, please reach out to a licensed professional. I am not able to support you during a crisis. If you feel you're experiencing a crisis, please contact a helpline here - https://www.7cups.com/crisis/ 🌸 AVAILABILITY 🌸 My time zone is GMT / BST. I am available to live chat for up to an hour at a time. I am open to arranging a time to chat if you'd like to chat for longer though! I work and am disabled, so my availability can vary quite a lot, which is why I'm much better at providing one off, short term support. However, I am happy for you to reach out to update me on what's been happening since we last spoke.  🌸 ABOUT ME  🌸 I'm in my thirties, I have a cat who I adore and I spend a lot of my free time watching movies, reading, cross stitching and playing video games. I live with multiple health conditions which makes life a little more challenging, but it means I can relate to members who are disabled or are living with chronic health conditions.   🌸 STATUSES 🌸S Online  I'm open to chatting/helping anyone, including listeners who might need some help with listening. Feel free to message me. Busy  You can request to chat, but I may not reply to your message or request, as I may be busy with other roles or helping others in chats.  Offline  I'm offline, having a self-care break, taking scheduled chats, supporting/hosting group discussions or unavailable to take personal requests. If I'm in a chatroom, please ask to send me a message. Being in a chatroom doesn't mean I'm available to take a 1-1 chat.
