Need to talk to someone?

He/him and They/them pronouns are fine with me (: Hi fellow Cupser, welcome to my profile! My name is Finn and I am a Community Moderator. I am unfortunately unable to take 1-1 chats, so if you are seeking support, please find a listener here: https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/

Proud triplet of the terrific trio @InternalAcceptance and @Chassymom    Former leader of the addiction support team and have since passed the torch on to @InternalAcceptance. So proud of my amazing tripply <3 Hi there, I'm AJ but you can call me vinyl, viny or fly. Welcome to my listener profile. Glad you're here with us on 7 cups.    I'm a verified active listener. I'm happy to support you on your journey and help you navigate the bumps in the road you may come across. I've driven over many myself and have acquired much wisdom and compassion along the way. Message me if you're looking for a caring, wise and open-minded set of ears. I'm passionate about helping people in need and am heavily involved in disability, mental health, 2SLGBTQ+, and harm advocacy in my local community. I'm happy to chat about whatever's on your mind but I have the most knowledge in the areas of anxiety and panic attacks, drug/alcohol use and harm reduction, autism, ADHD, chronic illnesses and disabilities, coping with strong emotions, sexual orientation and gender identity, and post-traumatic stress.   Please note that I take 1-1 chats in 1 hour time blocks. I do this to make sure that everyone has a chance to be listened to. I'll let you know when there are 10 minutes remaining in your chat so it's easier to start wrapping things up. Looking forward to hearing from all you lovely people. It takes a lot of courage to reach out for help when you need it. Through our struggles, we can learn how to harness our strengths         

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.

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!

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
