Need to talk to someone?

***Please note: I am not currently available for 1-on-1 support chats. With my roles as a community mentor leader, group support mentor, and chatroom moderator I will be focusing my efforts primarily on community teams, forums and group support activities.*** It's not a community without 'u'! About me: Others have described me as an empathetic individual who strives to be objective, motivational, and empowering. I do firmly believe that if you challenge yourself to look at a situation from a different angle you will see options you have overlooked, and that sometimes even unpalatable solutions need to be seen for what they are, possible solutions. I aim to offer a respectful and non-judgmental ear, keeping in mind that my personal values and beliefs are just that: Mine and need only apply to me/my life.  I am a member of the LGBTQ+ community, some of the labels I use, or have used, to describe(not define) myself include but are not limited to, lesbian, homoromantic asexual and demiromantic. While I am open to and accepting of all members of the LGBTQ+ community, I feel my personal experience makes me most suited to supporting those who relate to or don similar labels. Now entering my 40's I have had experiences with a variety of issues from early childhood to present. I have found this can enhance my natural ability to empathize while still offering alternate perspectives. I primarily provide support for and am most comfortable with topics I have indicated in my profile. There are certain topics that I do not take chats involving, namely drugs, alcohol, detailed discussion of sexual topics, or any which contravene the rules of 7 Cups. "No matter what we have come through, or how many perils we have safely passed, or how imperfect and jagged our life has been, we cannot in our heart of hearts imagine how it could have been different. As we look back on it, it slips in behind us in orderly disarray, and, with all its mistakes, acquires a sort of eternal fitness, and even, at times, a poetic glamour." – Randolph Silliman Bourne

Status: I will be away from 7 cups for a little while and will not be able to take chats until I return. I expect to be back in October. Feel free to leave me a message though and I will get in touch with you when I am back.  I am an older woman (she/her) with lots of compassion, and I'm comfortable talking about a variety of mental health issues.  I've been through a lot with my own bipolar disorder so I can offer real empathy.  Please note: I don't take social chats. Also, I will not tolerate any explicit or inappropriate sex talk in any chat. When I am unavailable (red indicator) and you need immediate support, please refer to our 'browse listeners' tab to find another Listener who feels like a good fit for you. If you would like to schedule a time to chat, please leave me a message and I will get back to you. Green status indicator = Available to chat.  Orange status indicator = Online but busy. I will respond as soon as I can.  Red status indicator = I am currently unavailable. Feel free to leave me a message. "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."  - Thomas Edison

Hey, there! 👋☺️ I'm so glad you've made one of the biggest (and sometimes the most difficult) decisions when in times of trouble: reaching out for help! It takes a great deal of self-awareness and strength to recognize when you can't go through something alone. I know it used to be for me! Day-to-day, I work as a care manager for people dealing with mental health, substance use, and housing struggles. I work at a peer-run agency as a Certified Peer Specialist, also! My day job brings such meaning and purpose to my life. That said, I like to be here to lend an ear to whoever I can. In my experience, I've found anonymity can be helpful in really allowing people to connect in the most fundamental ways, free from assumptions and judgement. I'm here to ensure whatever you share falls on open, compassionate ears! Let's work through this together! 🤗🤗🤗

Hi! I'm here to listen and support, but I'm less active than I was in the past: if I'm not online, send a message and describe your issue, if possible I'll get back as soon as I can!   Please note that I prioritize these types of chat: - users with LGBTQ+ related issues - women affected by gender-based violence - people affected by war or humanitarian crises

Hi ~Just a human being 🌿 Currently not accepting new members unless I initiate the chat myself. My old members can still message.💚 I only take chats in the categories listed on my profile. These are the topics I'm most familiar with. I will refer you to other wonderful listeners if I sense I can't be of help.❤️ ~ "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if only one remembers to turn on the light." J.K. Rowling. 🌠 Hello dear member! I know how hard it can be to reach out to someone whom you barely know, and trust them with your life, your stories, and your problems. I'm very much honored to be that person, and I treasure it very much. I want to create a space for you where you can talk about absolutely anything! without the fear of judgement (yes, I mean it-- I will never ever judge, I'm not perfect either right?!). And let's be honest, that space is what many of us crave the most. Because I believe sometimes what we really need is a space to pour our thoughts and emotions, to cry freely, and to brainstorm ideas for improvement. I appreciate your strength to have come this far in life, cheers to more years with much more happiness and peace!  ------------------------- " There is still a joker roaming around the world.
