My name is Cynthia. Mental wellness is something I have always been very passionate about. I have a deep and abiding interest in the well-being of others and I understand that mental health is a state of emotional, psychological, and social well-being that allows individuals to reach their full potential and lead fulfilling lives. From my experience over the years, I have seen how various mental illnesses have affected the lives of individuals and their loved ones. My passion for mental health has mostly been shaped by personal experiences, as well as exposure to the challenges faced by those struggling with mental health issues. I have seen the impact of untreated mental illness on friends, and family members, I have also witnessed the stigma that can surround mental health and the negative impact it can have on those who are struggling hence, I am deeply committed to making a positive difference in the lives of those that have struggled.

Hey there! I'm a happy and energetic soul willing to listen to you. I promise to never judge but provide help to the best of my effort. Thank you!

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!

Hello ❤️ 

Hello i found this place when I was looking for someone to talk to, but then I decided to become a listener because what makes me feel more human is when I help someone even by just listening because I know how it feels when you need to be heard. I can’t solve your problems but I will do my best to make you feel better.

Hello, my name is Alice and I love helping people find a moment of peace. Everyone deserves someone to talk to and I hope I can be of some sort of assistance :) I can talk about anything with you if you need to vent and I will do my best to help you out. I am not extremely experienced in any fields, but I have depression, anxiety, and a ton of dissorders that i keep in check but am aware in the ways which it can affect people. I am an active member of the LGBT community being a bisexual woman, I love movies, music, art etc, i just love to talk in general. So whether you need a distraction or someone to help you through what you are going through- I hope to hear from you :)

Greetings! I'm glad you've found me on 7 Cups of Tea. I'm a trained active listener and I like to support people struggling with depression, anxiety and anything that you might need to get off your chest. I enjoy camping, reading, traveling, scuba diving, video games and acting. I've overcome a lot in life and would like to help by listening to you. One thing to note is that I'm going to make you think in ways that you don't normally operate as I find it helps us grow when we're able to take a step outside of our own heads to view situations from another perspective. It's not always easy but rarely are the worthwhile things in life that way in the first place. Come with me on a journey to find the strength within yourself so you can live life to its fullest. "It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for - and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool - for love - for your dreams - for the adventure of being alive."

Fluent in anxiety, panic, and finding the funny moments hidden inside life’s most chaotic chapters. Surviving plenty of personal twists and turns over the years has left a premium supply of genuine kindness and deep consideration to share. Need a safe space to vent, slow down, and breathe? Step right up. Whether navigating overwhelming stress or just having a wild day, offering a deeply empathetic, considerate, and calming anchor is the top priority here. Safe space, deep empathy, and absolute zero judgment. Whenever you're ready to unpack the noise, let's take a breath and figure it out together.

#love🍉 Always ready to lend an ear. Whether you're feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or just need someone to talk to. No pressure, no judgment. I’m here for you. Sometimes, all we need is someone who truly listens.
