Verified (: Hello. I'm anonymous, accepting, kind, and dare I say .. humorous 😌  Feel free to msg even if I show as busy.  This should feel more like a friendly listening ear as opposed to sitting in a therapist's office. ☺️ I tend to not be able to help much with breakups. 44yo INFP  

(Deutsch: Siehe unten) I only take chats within my topics.  ​Urgency first: If you are facing an acute situation like a panic attack, etc., please message me. There's no need to read the rest of the profile.  Hello and welcome to 7cups. I'm a 27-year-old female from Germany, and glad you're reading this. I had and still have to struggle with some of the things I offer support with. I hope I can help you with some things based on my experience, professional university knowledge, and over six years of experience as a Listener here. I understand you well, and maybe I have suggestions, techniques, or skills to help you. For example, I'm familiar with living with chronic pain, self-harm (stopped a few years ago), and panic attacks. I also have non-epileptic (dissociative/conversion) seizures. I'd like to exchange experience about this anytime to possibly learn from each other in managing or getting them under control better. In the following, I will describe myself as a Listener and explain in what case I am the right one for you. If you select me as your Listener and I think there is a chance that I might be able to help, I will try my best to do so. If I had to describe myself as a Listener, I would say I'm primarily supportive, reassuring, and encouraging. But despite all my empathy and understanding, I still tend to be somewhat challenging. I assure you that you have my greatest support if you choose to work with me, and I will be here for you through whatever struggle you may face. My favorite saying I took from the saw movies, which I enjoy (don't worry, I'm not a creep), is "CHERISH YOUR LIFE," and I hope I can help you do that too along the way. Send me a personal request by chatting with me or leaving me a message if: - you want to learn to live better with chronic (physical) pain/ disease, especially such that gets worse in flare-ups, or you want to know how to best support a person close to you who suffers from this (1) - you want to manage daily life better with a disability that affects you or a person close to you (autism and ad(h)d included) (2) - you want to quit self-harm (3) - you want to cope better with panic attacks and possibly get rid of them (4) - you want to talk about psychological, non-epileptic/ dissociative seizures (PNES) and possibly gain better control of them or talk about any other kind of dissociation or dissociative or psychosomatic disorder (5) - you want to chat about (C)PTSD and how it affects your life and find coping strategies that work for you (6) - you want to chat about parenting: I don't have any own kids and not so much practical experience yet, but I'll probably be doing counseling for parents, especially for children with disabilities, in my future job, so I would like to test my skills on this here and gain some first experience. (7)    - you want to chat about guilt or forgiveness. I am curious about what they involve and I'd be interested in discussing them. Depending on the situation, though, I might decide that I am not the right Listener for you at some point. (8)   - you want to chat about a personality disorder (any kind). I am curious to learn more about it, how it affects people's lives, and how they manage life with it. Yet, I am not very experienced with this topic, so it would be more active listening than suggestions. (9) - you want to learn to manage, accept, and understand your thoughts, emotions, and psychological needs. (I might decide that I am not the right person depending on what they are related to, and the chat would be more focused on the thoughts, emotions, and needs themselves and identifying them rather than what causes them.) (10) - you want to chat about faith, religion, spirituality, etc. If you wish, I might share my beliefs, but I will not force them upon you. We can try to find out what you believe or how you could solve a conflict that, for example, makes you question your faith. (11) - you have general questions about mental health, want to figure out what's going on for you, what the next steps could be, what you could do to improve your allover well-being, or if you want to find out which topic(s) the right Listener(s) for you should cover (12) - you want to discuss something related to communication or violence/abuse (any form, active and passive position) to reflect on yourself generally or regarding specific situations, or you want to discuss how communication and violence are related. Depending on the exact issue, I might not be the right Listener for you. (13) - you want to ethically or morally reflect on or position yourself in general or regarding a particular situation. (14) - you want to change a particular generally controllable (own) behavior by analyzing causing and motivational factors and looking for different ways to manage these. I have the most experience with this method regarding self-harming behavior, but I want to see if I can apply it to other topics and behaviors as well (15) If you send a personal request, please start the chat with (a) code number(s) from 1 to 15 (which you see on the list, next to the thing(s) you want to chat about) to show you have read this. I do provide long-term support as well! Let me know if you wish that, so I can see what I can offer. I offer chats related to other topics like work stress if the focus is on one of the topics listed above, e.g. work-induced PTSD, communication and/or violence, or behavioral issues at work - own behavior only.  Please note: While I have my own and professional experience with some of these topics, I am not a fully trained professional. I am in education for a job where I work with people and help them, for example, through counseling. Still, here I am only a Listener and not a Therapist. That means I can't advise you on the ultimate solution. Yet, I am glad to provide suggestions where I feel it's appropriate and consider your options together if you want to. If I am offline (red), you can still message me, and I will get in touch when I see it. If I don't take your request, feel free to message me because I might have forgotten to log out, but I will get back to you when I see it. ​ Ich spreche auch Deutsch.

NOTE: Members --- Feel free to leave messages even when my status bubble is orange (meaning busy) or red (meaning inactive)! I will respond when I can, as soon as possible! Please don't think I forgot about you or ignored you if I don't respond right away. I reply to every message that comes in my inbox whenever I have the chance to!!! :) But in case I am unable to get to you right away and you urgently need help, please Browse Listeners [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/] or use a Self Help Guide [https://www.7cups.com/supportGuides/selfHelpGuides.php] with these blue links here! And as for my fellow listeners --- If you need resources or help with chatting, please see this link [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenerLearningJourney_149/ListenerSupportGuides_1850/ListenerSupportGuidesMasterList_228279/] for the master list of listener resources. *************************************************************************** I am a member of the VERIFIER'S TEAM [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenerLearningJourney_149/ListenerVerificationProject_1839/JointheListenerVerifiersTeam_46938/], so fellow listeners --- if you would like to request a mock chat to become Verified, please read this post [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenerLearningJourney_149/ListenerVerificationProject_1839/GetVerifiedon7Cups_290064/] thoroughly, check if you meet all the requirements, and message me to schedule a mock chat to try to get recognized for your high-quality active listening and get yourselves that blue Verified check bubble and badge! *************************************************************************** Hello everyone! I am a Verified Listener [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenerLearningJourney_149/ListenerVerificationProject_1839/GetVerifiedon7Cups_290064/] here at 7 Cups! My name is Blue, pronouns she/her! (I also like the name Sky; you guys can pick which one you call me.) :D I am a person with a deep compassion and understanding for people and I will not be judgmental towards you for any of your issues. I love listening to people and check in with this site every day, so I will do my best to respond to your messages as quickly as I can. During the weekdays I might be a bit slow to respond, though, because I'm still in school and get overloaded with work a lot. But really, don't feel guilty venting to me—I WANT to be here! :) I have a lot of experience with mental health and listening to people about their struggles, although if your problems are outside of my ability to help (suicide, self harm, sexual harassment/assault, substance abuse, drug addiction, domestic violence, trauma from war, injuries, diseases, etc.), please seek professional help [https://www.7cups.com/crisis/] or paid therapy [https://www.7cups.com/online-therapy/?ob=1] with the resources in these links, as I am not trained or equipped to handle these things as a 17-year-old kid. As much as I would really, truly love to be here for all you guys through anything, I really can't do anything about threats to your safety. Those things should be referred to the authorities or a specialist. But otherwise, I am here for everyone, regardless of race, gender, religion, sexuality, relationship status, familial situation, etc. and feel free to talk to me like you would close friend. You deserve help, love, appreciation, and validation; I will do everything in my power to provide you with support! :) *************************************************************************** A bit about me: My birthday is October 21st (yay Libras!), my personality type is INFJ, and I was born in the Year of the Dog (2006)! My favorite color is blue (you probably guessed, haha), my favorite seasons are fall and summer, and my favorite food is Hawaiian Poké bowl. I'm Chinese-American, proud to be so, and have a lot of experience with managing and appreciating cultural identity. I think I'm somewhere on the ace spectrum [https://asexuality.org/] (probably demisexual and demiromantic), but I don't really care about labels that much, so you can just call me "ace" or "queer" or whatever; I just want to be myself. :) Music is my favorite thing, like, ever; I play flute, viola, sing in a choir, am in a marching band, and love musical theater. I love reading books, particularly YA fantasy, sci-fi, realistic fiction, and LGBTQ+ stories. My top 4...well, technically 5...favorite books are "You've Reached Sam" [https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/53086843-you-ve-reached-sam] by Dustin Thao, "They Both Die At The End" [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33385229-they-both-die-at-the-end?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=fst8Sn2mzF&rank=1] by Adam Silvera, "These Violent Delights" [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/50892212-these-violent-delights] (and its sequel, "Our Violent Ends" [https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/44084762]) by my literal queen Chloe Gong, and "Loveless" [https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/42115981-loveless?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=2kKj6M3VXm&rank=1] by Alice Oseman, which I HIGHLY recommend to everyone because they are just so meaningful and explore human connections so deeply. I write my own stories and draw sometimes, although they really aren't that great at all, haha. When I graduate high school, I want to go to medical school (hopefully, haha) to become a reproductive endocrinologist so I can help families! :) I'm also a huge fan of Marvel, My Hero Academia, Lord of the Rings, Top Gun, Taylor Swift, The Piano Guys, Alan Walker, and '80s / '90s Chinese songs (I get that from my amazing mom, haha)! :D *************************************************************************** APPRECIATE A PERSON ON 7 CUPS WHO HAS GIVEN YOU A GOOD EXPERIENCE HERE [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScsCXyPYjQ4dsfLMh2ZzXC4of1lEutJsSasbkzc6JLDq7b8ow/viewform]! <3 *************************************************************************** MY BEST FRIENDS ON 7 CUPS OF TEA WHO I LOVE AND APPRECIATE WITH ALL MY HEART: @kosikima -- truly a legit angel sent from heaven, so understanding and warm-hearted @mushro0m -- a friend that's such a joy to talk to, always accepting and there for me @amiableBunny4016 -- hardworking and selfless, overcomes obstacles like a warrior @inventiveMango9097 -- so strong and resilient, finds happiness even when it's dark @FaithfulZareia [https://www.7cups.com/@FaithfulZareia] -- the best, sweetest listener I know, always cheers me up when I'm down

Not taking new chats. ------------------------- Coming, going, the waterbirds don't leave a trace, don't follow a path. I'm Charlie and I'm trained, verified and experienced as an active listener for both adults and teens. I like to support people who are struggling with something. Also people who aren't struggling with anything. And people who aren't sure whether they're struggling with anything or not. Please do not message me hoping to start a chat. I am not taking new chats. The poem is said to be by Eihei Dōgen, a Japanese poet who wrote it around eight hundred years ago. I don't know why I like it. I just do. My photo is the moon shining on the sea. There's some darkness and some clouds there but the light of the moon shines on everything. I like this too. Thank you for reading my profile. I'm glad you are here! ------------------------- In an emergency or a crisis: If you are in an emergency or a crisis—for example, if you are at immediate risk of suicide or other serious harm—7 Cups is not the right place, because we cannot deal with emergencies or provide crisis counselling. Click here for information about getting help: Get emergency or crisis support [https://rarelycharlie.github.io/howto/crisis] Listener support: I'm happy to support other listeners with issues related to listening, although I don't have any official role. Please do not message me from a listener account to chat about personal issues. Use a member account for that. To understand why, see: Listener and Member Roles [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenersOnlyForums_38/GlensThoughts_143/ListenerandMemberRoles_210/1/] Schedule: I don't have a fixed schedule. I'm online some weekdays between about 4:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. US Eastern Time. In the UK this is 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. On other days and at weekends I'm often online too, but at times that are not predictable. If you message me or tag me in a forum I'm usually able to respond within a day or two.
