Need to talk to someone?

Hello! I'm glad you've found me on 7 Cups of Tea. I have suffered with depression and self - harm.

I’ve always believed in the power of listening and how much it can help someone feel less alone. Life can be overwhelming at times, and I know from personal experience how important it is to have a safe space to talk. That’s why I want to be here—to offer support, encouragement, and a judgment-free space for those who need it. I’m currently in high school and have been involved in mental health awareness efforts at my school, such as creating posters to help break the stigma around mental health. I’ve also worked in leadership and communication roles, which have strengthened my ability to connect with people and show empathy. I may not have all the answers, but I know how to listen, and sometimes, that’s all someone really needs. I’m here to help in any way I can!

Hello, i'm 0ceans. I've been a listener on 7 Cups since 2017 I can offer a listening ear in various categories and mental health illnesses, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, ADHD, phobias, BPD, eating disorders, OCD and PTSD. Don't hesitate to send me a personal request and I'll get back to you when I can! 

The old master instructed the unhappy young Lady to put a handful of salt in a glass of water and then to drink it. "How does it taste?" The master asked. "Very bad," said the lady. The master then asked the young lady to take another handful of salt and put it in the lake. The two walked in silence to the nearby lake and when the apprentice swirled his handful of salt into the lake, the old man said, "now drink from the lake." As the water dripped down the young lady's chin, the master asked, "how does it taste?" "Good!" Remarked the apprentice. "Do you taste the salt?" Asked the master. "No" said the lady. The master said, " the pain of life is pure salt; no more, no less. The amount of pain in life remains the same, exactly the same. But the amount we taste the 'pain' depends on the container we put it into. So when you are in pain, the only thing you can do is to enlarge your sense of things. Stop being a glass. Become a lake.!" So be happy where you are... Cz it will definitely lead your to a better place

Heya my name is Ruby (she/they) and I’m so happy to be here with you! I will do everything I can to support you with anything you’re dealing with and am already so proud of you:) I often have on-going chats with members, since it is hard to find a time where we can both chat at once sometimes and take long-term members as well. No topic is off-limits when it comes to mental health and me. I have personal experiences with mental health, and I understand that struggling with mental health can be incredibly isolating. I will tell you if i don’t know much about the topic you want to talk about so I can either learn more or refer you to connect with a listener who can you help you better<3 I am bilingual (slightly more comfy in English:) But I can definitely chat in Japanese if need be! Please tell me about any triggers you have. I want to be sensitive and not make you uncomfortable in any way whatsoever. This is your space. Where you can be you. Without the fear of judgment. ❤️ 💜 💙 Green means that I’m taking chats actively, and that I will reply within minutes. Orange means that I am busy with other chats or responsibilities. I will reply as quickly as possible usually within 45 minutes. Red means that I am not online, or I am not taking chats at that moment. You can still message me but please give me up to 48 hours to reply and I will do my best to answer quickly. Experience I’ve always kind of struggled with my mental health and some main experiences I have are depression, anxiety, eating disorder, lgbtq+ struggles, sexual health, ptsd, racial and cultural identity, self harm, and family issues along with many more experiences. 🍄Roles🍄  Verified listener Smile Spreader  Leadership Development Program Grad QLP Graduate with honors 🐚Friend🐚
