Need to talk to someone?

Active listening is like kindness and empathy, simple enough in principle. and a life time task to master fully. Because of my background I feel more naturally able to help people struggling with stressful emotional situations, toxic or difficult family situations, or with anxiety, PTSD, depression. Many times in the past I could overcome hardships and difficulties simply by having a chance to talk to someone who really listened. I'd like to "pay that kindness forward" now by listening to you on 7Cups. Don't be fooled by all the topic training badges on my profile page: that only means I got acquainted to the topic, not that I am an expert! But I will be happy to try and help you regardless, as a fellow human. If I am online, feel free to start a chat. If I'm offline, you can send me a message so we can set up a time to chat. I look forward to it. I have work and life commitments, so I don't have as much free time as I would like, but I will do my best to be available several times a week to help out.

Please don’t reach out if you’re wanting an inappropriate chat!   💕There's no need to be perfect to inspire others. Let others get inspired by how you deal with your imperfections. 💕 ☕️☕️☕️☕️Love this analogy!☕️☕️☕️☕️ You are holding a cup of coffee when someone comes along and bumps into you or shakes your arm, causing you to spill your coffee everywhere. Why did you spill the coffee? ""Because someone bumped into me!!!" Nope. You spilled the coffee because there was coffee in your cup. Had there been tea in the cup, you would have spilled tea. Whatever is inside the cup will spill out. So...when life shakes you (and it WILL), whatever is inside you will come out. The big question is "'What's in MY cup?" When life gets tough, what spills over? Joy, appreciation, love, acceptance? Hostility, anger, judgement, harsh words and exhaustion? Life provides the cup, YOU choose how to fill it. Especially right now, it's so important to make sure we fill our cups with the good stuff - forgiveness, joy, words of affirmation; and kindness and love for others. 7Cups For the Searching Soul FREE Kindle https://www.amazon.com/7-Cups-Searching-Soul-7Cups-ebook/dp/B01BFWMCXY [https://www.amazon.com/7-Cups-Searching-Soul-7Cups-ebook/dp/B01BFWMCXY] ⁉️TAROT One Question One Card ⁉️ 🎆Informs a Question & Shows Another Perspective Through Your Eyes 👀 Only --My Status Information!-- Red: I am NOT likely online, so shoot me a message!  Orange: I am definitely online, and am answering PMs!

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         

Availability: 💚 Taking selected chats! Hello there! I resigned from all my roles on Cups in December 2023 after much consideration and thought. For the foreseeable future, I will not be taking member chats. I may pop in once a month or so to take one-off chats, but I cannot commit to long-term members or offline chatting. If you need urgent help, please visit the 'Browse Listeners' tab to find an active, online listener best suited for you. I wish you all the best, and don't forget to be awesome! 🤍🌸🤍 About Me Welcome to my profile! My name is Lunaire (Luna if you'd like!). I am just but one of the many listeners on this site, who are each trying to make the world a better place, one conversation at a time. I'm a 22-year-old medical student from South Africa. I adore reading and writing, and when my nose is not in a book or the latest story I am trying to finish writing at 3am, you'll find me researching and learning about the most obscure subjects. Education is one of the ideals I am very passionate about - knowledge is power, and makes the world go around.  🤍🌸🤍 My Former Roles on 7Cups Peer Supporter Chat Support  Safety Patrol and Safety Patrol Outreach Team (SPOT) member Quality Mentor Listener Verifier Project Agent for Active Listening Test Outreach and for the VL Team Listener Chatroom Supporter Anonymous Evaluations Team member 🤍🌸🤍 Please take note of the following: * Just like everyone else on the site, I am human and I would appreciate a mutual respect between us during the chat.  * My schedule does not permit me to be online on 7 Cups 24/7. My response time is usually 3 days.  * I do not take chat requests about: sexual topics/health, LGBTQ+ issues, self-harm, breakup/relationship stress/issues and addiction (drugs and/or alcohol usage).  * I do not take chats that request for advice, whether personal or medical as this is against 7Cups guidelines.  * My chat times with members can be between 30 - 60 minutes, however, I cannot chat for more than one hour. Please speak to me if you wish to chat again at another time. I cannot support long term members at this time.  * Please note that I will redirect you to another listener if I feel that I am unable to support you properly as I do not want to make anyone feel like they are unheard.  * I don't accept listener requests for chats about personal support or any non-listener related topic - kindly login to your member account to do so.
