Your challenges is just but for a moment. Joy is coming. I am here to listen and provide a safe space 🚀 

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 here to listen with empathy and without judgment...

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"

I have always believed that foundations matter more than appearances. I grew up in a world where things were built by hand and understood from the inside out. That instinct never left me. Whether machines or ideas, I care about structure — about what holds something together when time tests it. Memory has become important to me. The past feels solid, almost physical. It reminds me that time reshapes everything, and that if something is to endure, it must be built with intention. I value discipline, privacy, and quiet strength. I believe clarity reduces chaos, and that refinement is a lifelong practice. I am still building — systems, stories, and meaning — and I suspect that the work itself is the point.

I am Australian. I have a lived experience of mental health, as my mother was schizophrenic and I have inherited bipolar disorder. I have spent a reasonable amount of time in the Support Room 24/7, although I find that I have to sit up late to talk to all the people that I tend to talk to, or the 'regulars'! I would love to be more involved in the 7 cups community, as I have been a member for a while and would like to give something back. If I am offline, you can still send me a message and I will get back to you ASAP and we can chat that way if you like. Feel free to say hi, that's what I'm here for! Because I live in Australia, the time differences can be a big pain in the butt!

I am HERE for YOU... 

I am here to listen without judgment. Whether you're navigating a difficult topic or something that feels heavy or taboo, I believe honest conversations deserve safety, not shame. Your comfort matters, and I will meet you with respect, warmth, and zero pressure.
