Need to talk to someone?

ON A SELF CARE BREAK —please understand🩷 Ash —You grow through what you go through. [If i don't respond in a week, please kindly send me a text again. Since i send outreach texts, the messages get mixed up a lot, thank you!]

I will be there always!

Hey! I'm currently on a longer break for personal reasons. I may not respond or take a long time to do so. I hope everyone is doing well <3 Hey there! I'm Teresa (she/they), and I'm here to listen and support you with whatever you are going through at the moment. Feel welcome to message me.💐 I can chat in English and Polish.  What you can expect: * You'll face no judgment, no matter what, pinky promise. 🤞 * I'm most likely to be online for a few hours at a time. I'll let you know at the beginning of our conversation if I have to leave in half an hour or less. I also try to give a heads-up if I have to leave soon. * I won't be taking more than two conversations at a time. This means I may not accept your request to chat at times, but it also ensures you have my full attention. * I'm usually not available on weekends, but I will try to check in for a few minutes a day and answer any ongoing chats. Topics I feel the most comfortable/competent about listening to: * Depression * Alcohol/drug abuse or addiction, ACoA&DF * Grief * Financial/housing crises * Loneliness * Self-harm * Issues related to activism * Burnout and feeling stuck Remember, it's just things I feel the most competent to listen to about. I will listen to other topics as well and you are just as welcome to message me with anything else. 💐 Topics I won't help you with, as I don't feel competent enough: * Sexual abuse, sexual assault (though I can help you look for resources), and sexual health * Adoption/Foster Care * Bipolar disorder, borderline, schizophrenia, personality disorders, and dissociative disorders * Cancer, chronic pain, diabetes, and disabilities A bit about me: I'm a sadly-no-longer-teen punk currently in university. I'm passionate about music, DIY of any kind, and cooking. I'll gladly talk about bands, guitars, motorcycles (I wish I had one), or share recipes. I'm the final form of an extrovert; a day without other people is a day lost. I love chatting up new folks and learning about them.  I became a 7cups listener because I also messaged one when I felt lost, and I received sooo much compassion and care, it was impossible not to notice how much of a difference a listening ear can make sometimes. I'm still learning, and I'm not perfect, but I'm trying my best to offer to other people what was offered to me. Announcement: Remember to drink water, get enough rest, and treat yourself with love and compassion! Thank you for treating my friend right!  💐 Please know I'm just a volunteer and still have a whole lot to learn. Any feedback appreciated! 

My name is Delphine, and I'm a high schooler living in New England, USA. I'm extremely passionate about mental health and have firsthand experiences on how it can affect people's lives. I love sports, play soccer, and am an avid fan of Formula 1 and tennis. I'm the second oldest of four kids and grew up in a family torn apart due to addiction and mental health struggles. My goal in life is to reduce the stigma of mental health and make resources like 7cups more available!

Verified listener 👂 💠 Room Supporter 🗒️💠 7 Cups Internship alumnus 🧑‍🏫 INTJ personality 🧠 ------------------------- Welcome to 7 Cups of Tea! 🍵 My chats are LGBTQ+ friendly. ☺️ I recently completed a bachelor's degree in experimental psychology, with a concentration in cognitive psychology. I will soon begin a research-based graduate degree in Experimental Psychology, focusing on cognitive psychology. I volunteer on 7 Cups so I can provide a non-professional listening ear and emotional support to others. I have been on 7 Cups as a listener for quite some time. Please note I do not offer professional support, and it is against 7 Cups policies to use the platform as a crisis support service. If you are in crisis, please refer to the webpage for www.7cups.com/crisis for further support. I know what it feels like to not be heard or listened to adequately by others, as I personally face this in my day-to-day life. Sometimes it's just not possible to share what you're facing for several reasons. For example, many people can be busy, closed off, unsupportive, or ignorant to the idea of providing personal support to others. When this happens, it can be difficult to process thoughts and emotions. Please feel free let me know what is on your mind, but please avoid chats that are sexual in nature.. I will be glad to support you :-) If you would like support and I am offline, please feel free to leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can. ------------------------- Some gentle piano music and nature imagery: https://youtu.be/dTI3I9ZFzTI?feature=shared Relaxing music with birds singing: https://youtu.be/FMrtSHAAPhM?feature=shared

Please note that for all requests of one-on-one chats, I will be allotting an hour for each chat in order to manage things well. The timing can differ based on the conversation. Hello! I'm glad you're here. There are sometimes stages in life when you cannot disclose your feelings or thoughts to a close one. 7 Cups of Tea is here for you, providing an anonymous listener and guess what! speaking to a stranger does help you. So, here I'm for you all. A listener for you as I'll like to help you out.
