Need to talk to someone?

Bio in Portuguese and Spanish - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fNTypEG5qrD1NjnFMrE7PdDV5frFHGqhTSZk1Jx7u9s/edit?usp=sharing I am unable to support topics about breakups, relationship stress, or sexual health. I am unavailable Saturday and Sunday.  Availability Monday - Thursday after 4 PM ET Friday between 10 AM ET - 6 PM ET I'm glad you’ve reached out. Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and having someone to listen without judgment can make a difference. Whether you're feeling lost, anxious, or need space to share your thoughts, I’m here to support you. I aim to create a safe, empathetic environment where you can feel heard and understood. We all battle things, and thankfully, we don't have to do it alone, even if it's just someone on the other side of the screen offering support. Topics I support Bipolar Disorder, Domestic Violence, Grief, LGBTQ+, PTSD/Trauma(Sexual Abuse/Assault), Self-Harm, and Terminal Illness What to expect I focus on being a compassionate listener, asking thoughtful questions, and helping you process your emotions. My goal is to help you feel lighter by the end of our conversation. I believe in the power of kindness, honesty, and mutual respect in every chat. My chats are 1 hour long and I support repeating members once a week. Feel free to reach out when you're ready to talk. Let's walk this journey together, one step at a time.

Hey there I'm Kerry nice to meet you. I have been an active listener since 2016. 

Please note I have been on and off in activity since I was most active in 2021. This is due to my external occupations and academics which makes sticking around here difficult sometimes. My roles on 7 Cups Group Support Room Project Leader (Inactive) Group Support Mentor Leader (Inactive) Global Group Support Moderator (ACTIVE) Group Support Mentor (Inactive) Listener Quality Mentor (Inactive) Listener Chatroom Mentor (Inactive) Safety Outreach Team (Inactive) Safety Discussion Team (Inactive) Safety Patrol Team (ACTIVE) LDP Mentor (Inactive) Listener Chat Supporter (Inactive) Listener Peer Supporter (Inactive) Trauma Support Discussion Host (Inactive) Doorkeeper (Inactive)  Adult-Teen Listener / ATL (ACTIVE) I have direct lived experience with peer violence, substance abuse, self-harm, depression, PTSD, childhood sexual abuse, sexual violence, addiction, breakups, domestic violence, and family, relationship, work, and student stress.  If you have any questions, do feel free to send a message and I'll try my best to help out.

🌸 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.

This is a test, a test to see if you are a human. Please note if something applies to you: Have you ever eaten a booger long past your childhood? Have you ever made a small, weird sound when you remembered something embarrassing? Have you ever purposely lower-cased the first letter of a text to come across as sad or disappointed? Have you ever ended a text with a period as a sign of aggression? Have you ever laughed or smiled when someone said something unpleasant to you, and you wondered the rest of the day why you reacted that way? Have you ever put on a pair of pants, and then realized much later that there was a loose sock smushed up against your thigh? Have you ever tried to guess someone else's password so many times that it locked their account? Have you ever had a nagging feeling that one day you will be discovered as a fraud? Have you ever hoped that there was some ability you hadn't discovered yet that you were just naturally talented at? Have you ever broken something in real life, and then found yourself looking for an "undo" button in real life? Have you ever marveled at how someone you thought was so ordinary could suddenly become so beautiful? Have you ever stared at your phone, smiling like an idiot while texting someone? Have you ever subsequently texted that person the phrase, "I'm staring at the phone, smiling like an idiot"? Have you ever been tempted to, and gave into that temptation, of looking through someone else's phone? Have you ever had a conversation with yourself, and then suddenly realized you're a terrible person to yourself? Has your phone ever run out of battery in the middle of an argument, and it sort of felt like the phone was breaking up with both of you? Have you ever thought that working on an issue between you and yourself was futile, because it should just be more natural than this, or this is supposed to happen just naturally? Have you ever realized that very little, in the long run, just happens naturally? Have you ever woken up blissfully, and suddenly been flooded by the awful remembrance that someone had left you? Have you ever lost the ability to imagine a future without a person that no longer was in your life? Have you ever looked back on that event with the sad smile of autumn and the realization that futures will happen, regardless? Congratulations, you have now completed and passed the test. You are human. Want to know who has the best 7 Cups profile? Click here!
