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!

I m currently actively managing a community, so it is difficult for me to be available for 1-1 chat. If you wish to have conversation/ discussion then please be patient with me, as i m not available all the time. Otherwise You may contact any other listener. Thank you. Overthinking is like a swamp — the more a person gets trapped in the same thought, the deeper they continue to sink. If you hold a glass 🥛 in your hand, keeping it for one minute feels easy. But if you keep holding the same glass for an hour, your arm starts to go numb. The same is true for worries and problems. Thinking about an issue for a few moments is wisdom, but keeping it constantly on your mind weakens a person’s courage, peace, and ability to make decisions. Peace in life does not come from continuously thinking about everything. It comes from removing unnecessary burdens from the mind and taking practical steps. When a person learns to “put the glass down,” the burden naturally begins to feel lighter. 📖 Extract from "The Art of Not Overthinking"

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 :)

I have an analytical mind and a gentle heart. I've learned that people often carry battles nobody else can see, and that kindness can make even the heaviest burdens feel lighter. Whether you need support, a listening ear, or simply someone to sit with you through a difficult moment, I'm here for you.  I am also a student working on a psychology degree planning on doing UX design and research as my career. Please remember that I am a human with feelings too, I know our feelings can turn outward for the people that try to help us but I will not tolerate that to protect myself.

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.
