Activewithin a week
Hey! I'm currently on a longer break for personal reasons. I may not respond or take a long time to do so. I hope everyone is doing well <3
Hey there!
I'm Teresa (she/they), and I'm here to listen and support you with whatever you are going through at the moment. Feel welcome to message me.💐
I can chat in English and Polish.
What you can expect:
* You'll face no judgment, no matter what, pinky promise. 🤞
* I'm most likely to be online for a few hours at a time. I'll let you know at the beginning of our conversation if I have to leave in half an hour or less. I also try to give a heads-up if I have to leave soon.
* I won't be taking more than two conversations at a time. This means I may not accept your request to chat at times, but it also ensures you have my full attention.
* I'm usually not available on weekends, but I will try to check in for a few minutes a day and answer any ongoing chats.
Topics I feel the most comfortable/competent about listening to:
* Depression
* Alcohol/drug abuse or addiction, ACoA&DF
* Grief
* Financial/housing crises
* Loneliness
* Self-harm
* Issues related to activism
* Burnout and feeling stuck
Remember, it's just things I feel the most competent to listen to about. I will listen to other topics as well and you are just as welcome to message me with anything else. 💐
Topics I won't help you with, as I don't feel competent enough:
* Sexual abuse, sexual assault (though I can help you look for resources), and sexual health
* Adoption/Foster Care
* Bipolar disorder, borderline, schizophrenia, personality disorders, and dissociative disorders
* Cancer, chronic pain, diabetes, and disabilities
A bit about me:
I'm a sadly-no-longer-teen punk currently in university. I'm passionate about music, DIY of any kind, and cooking. I'll gladly talk about bands, guitars, motorcycles (I wish I had one), or share recipes. I'm the final form of an extrovert; a day without other people is a day lost. I love chatting up new folks and learning about them.
I became a 7cups listener because I also messaged one when I felt lost, and I received sooo much compassion and care, it was impossible not to notice how much of a difference a listening ear can make sometimes. I'm still learning, and I'm not perfect, but I'm trying my best to offer to other people what was offered to me.
Announcement: Remember to drink water, get enough rest, and treat yourself with love and compassion! Thank you for treating my friend right! 💐
Please know I'm just a volunteer and still have a whole lot to learn. Any feedback appreciated!
