Embracing chaos and chasing dreams.

Caring and compassionate. Love to be part of the support journey.

If I claim I am positive all the time, I'd be lying. But I fight the negativity within me every day and make sure the positive person inside wins. "Never give up without a fight even if you are in the darkest room", is my belief. I have always been told that I am a good listener and motivator. And if I am, I want to support you win your fight. Saying Goodbye 💜 Hi to whoever may be reading this,  Around 7 years ago, I found this community. Gradually, it became an integral part of my life. In hopes that people find the care and support I struggled to find, I started taking an hour or two out of my day for this community.  Eventually, life got so busy I couldn't even make time for myself, and 7cups faded out. This is my final goodbye to you all. Thanks for being sucha amazing bunch of people. I'm definitely going to miss you all.  Keep growing, keep loving yourself, and go gentle. Lots of love and prayers.  Take care! < 3

If you need a sympathetic ear, I'm available. This is a free space.  

Hi! I'm a believer in un-biased, active listening, no matter what circumstance. Thanks for choosing to open up. I hope to be a good listener and help you sort out your thoughts and find healing. Side note: If I don't respond immediately, I will eventually. Been super busy lately, but I still want to make time for you.

Feel free to PM me

Hey there! My name is Aiden and I'm glad that you’ve found me on 7 Cups of Tea. I am a trained active listener and a proud part of the LGBTQ+ community. I have experience helping people with many things from depression and anxiety to PTSD and eating disorders, and also have experience with psychosis and dissociative disorders, as well as borderline personality disorder. I enjoy just about anything outdoorsy but always find my way back inside for a good book. My dog and I love taking on new adventures and are here to support you with challenges you’re facing. As someone who has been touched by these issues, I am here as an open ear to listen and chat with you about the struggles you’re working to overcome, and the stressors keeping you stuck.  Although I have more experience with the issues listed above, I would love to support anyone who wants to chat. I currently do not have availability for private chats. Just know you are awesome and courageous for being here!

Hi,  I'm Vincie. I generally prefer talking about issues that I have direct experience with, which includes mental health issues like bipolar, ADHD and anxiety as well as less niche topics like university life and  immigration. I'm also trying to be a disability rights advocate throughout my university and work experiences. And I'm in the process of getting an official recognition of my psychiatric disability. From a professional point of view (I'm an urban planner), I have a great interest in other types of disabilities as well, but I cannot guarantee the same level of support as I've never used a wheelchair or had sensory deficits.
