Hey!!  After long break i am back to my listening journey.  I am mom of 2 kids.  In my dark phase 7cups played a role to give strength.  Wish i could support the same to others . Right now I won't be taking intense issue 

🌧️ ON SELF-CARE BREAK STARTING APRIL 2024 UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE 🌊 Hello, I'm CM, short for Cosmic Miracle. You can also call me Cosmic or Miracle if you feel like it. I have experienced many life struggles and have had to emotionally, mentally, and spiritually grow up by myself at 11 years old. I feel like an old soul in my late-30s body. I am here to offer whatever kind of conversations you need: random talks, deep conversations, philosophical discussions, current events, our favourite books and films, and how music affects us... whatever helps you, please let me. Never underestimate the power of conversations. So, what do you want to talk about? I'm waiting :) === Please consider the topics I am open to discussing (listed in a separate section). I get members who have concerns about issues I normally would not be comfortable discussing because: * I have never had that experience ergo I won't be able to help you much; * I am not confident that the experiences I had regarding those issues have made me the ideal person to talk to as it might have affected me negatively and I am still in the process of healing from it; and * I am not trained to handle some specific issues about mental health and you'd be better talking to someone who is I don't turn my back on everyone who wants to talk to me, but please manage your expectations :) In case I am unavailable, so many beautiful lightworkers are willing to listen to you and help you process your thoughts and emotions.

As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for, in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labours and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. = Max Ehrmann <3

Restarting! Notice: I am sorry, but I am not currently able to listen to any members at the moment. In the meantime, here [http://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/] are some amazing listeners, and I hope you will be able to find a listener that can support you best :)    To Members If anyone asks me who I am, to be honest, I would not know what to say. I am a cis female that questions her sexuality. I am someone who cares about school, yet there's a part of me that does not. I am someone who loves interacting with people, yet I am not exactly social. My interests are ever-changing, and everything is sort of all over the place. However, despite all the unanswered questions in my head about who I am, there is one thing I am sure about: it is my story.  Every story is special in its own ways, but sometimes our stories are not heard, and stepping outside our comfort zone to share is quite hard. I am very proud to see that every one of you took the first step and made a member account whether it is for support or just for the sake of having one. I may never be able to fully understand what you are going through because I have not been in your shoes and neither have I experienced what you had, no matter how similar our stories may be. I cannot promise you will feel better and that everything will get better because we really do not know. However, from the bottom of my heart, I still hope that I can support you the best that I can with a listening ear. Some topics that I have dealt with are anxiety, LGBTQ+, sleeping well, self-esteem, and many more in varying degrees. I would love to talk about these issues; however, please note that I will not be sharing my personal experiences because I would love to focus on listening to your story. My listening space is a safe place for those who would like to talk about any issues without any judgment (unfortunately, I may not be the best person to talk about alcohol/drug use, men's issues, and perinatal mood disorder due to my limited knowledge on those topics, but feel free to message me if you wish!). My listening style incorporates longer messages, usually 2-4 sentences per message, so my response time ranges around 1-2 minutes. On one last note, each person is different, and my style may not exactly match up with your preferences, which is perfectly alright! There are also some other wonderful listeners that you may want to check out here [http://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/]! Welcome to my profile. I am Day or Dream, and I am very excited to get to know all of you :) To Listeners from my mentor profile but with some additional information! I still remember the first day I signed up as a listener, where I scrambled to figure out how this site worked with listening, the chatrooms, the forums, the notifications, and just everything. It was a lot to process, and listening wasn't quite what I imagined it would be. These first few days are often days when we are amazed by the site yet unsure where to start, yet even as days and months go by, there are days where we don't feel very confident in listening, days where we feel like we should do more, and days where we have questions but do not know who to ask.  Every listener's journey here on 7 cups is different and special in its own way; some focus on listening to our wonderful members, some focus on chatting in the chatrooms, and others focus on supporting everyone through a variety of projects. No matter where we stand, I would like to take this chance to thank every single one of you for signing up as a listener and even checking out this mentor page! That being said, I am very excited to get to know everyone, so feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions, would like a familiar face around here, or anything else! My journey is focused around two tracks: quality and forums ~ Forum Track: Edit, delete, or move forum posts (global community teen star), Questions about forum guidelines (forum flag team), Want to join the Teen Only Zone! (community mentor leader) Quality Track/Project: Mock chats and listening resources (teen quality star), How to respond to certain chats (chat support), How to become a verified listener (verifier's team project agent), Join the safety patrol team (safety patrol and outreach team), Active Listening 3 Test feedback and updates (AL3 grading and feedback team) Please also do note that I may not be the most knowledgable about the academies, but feel free to message me, and I would love to direct you to the corresponding leaders ~ That's about it from me! Hope to see everyone around whether through messages, forums, or chatrooms ~ My Availability: Green - I am online for both member and listener-related chats. Orange - I am only online for listener-related chats but may be in-and-out (response time: 30 minutes). Red - I am most likely roaming the forum area, working on another project, or logged out! Feel free to leave a message, and I'll get back to you soon! To everyone:  My private message response time is now N/A days! If I do not respond within a week, please send me another message, and I apologize in advance. My account is also prone to several 7 cups bugs, so there will be times where I am unable to send messages, and I usually update in my bio when that happens. Additionally, please note that if I am around in a particular area (chatrooms, forums, or private messages), it does not mean that I will be active in another area. Thank you for understanding! ⭐︎ About Me ⭐︎  Pronouns are she/her/hers Personality type is INFJ-T (advocate) Interests are music (cello, R&B), swim, bullet-journaling, google sheets :), daydreaming, tv shows/dramas Time Zone: GMT-5 (EST). Feel free to convert your times here [https://rarelycharlie.github.io/7cupstime]!

I call my friends "love" both in real life and here 2. I am a hug person, I love hugs and I might send you virtual hugs 3. I might leave you random texts and check in sometimes if any of these, or anything else in the chat, makes you uncomfortable, or if there are triggers that I need to avoid, let me know and I'll be careful not to repeat ------------------------- ~lgbtq+ Ally~ ------------------------- some people i miss badly on cups *~* @kimmkimm (miss you awesomeness) @ruby2468 (I can’t think of a way to reach you rn, but I’m thinking of you, missing you and hoping you are doing okie) @brokentearss (miss you lampshade, and will never forget you) @ALeXaNdEr0712 (you are missed, and on my mind at random times) @tazzie (rest in peace taz) @tallwalker4850 @serenn @bluewalker8200 @exuberantplane4067 @swiftygirl13 @ri337 @jaja25 ------------------------- reminders~ your feelings are real, and you have every right to feel them, to speak them but just remember that you won't always feel the same way trying your best is enough and it's all you ever gotta do you are a human, and as a human, you have the right to make mistakes  your choices, thoughts, feeling and actions, make sense in the bigger picture of your life, and by a big chance anyone else, exactly in your shoes would do the same  and always remember; love yourself: speak yourself  'cause "life gets hard and it gets messed up when you give so much but it's not enough when the high's too high and the low's too low  ....  don't you let it kill you,  even when it hurts like hell oh whatever tears you apart,    don't let it break your heart"    sometimes, it can feel so heavy, to be a human to feel, to get thru daily life,  sometimes, it feels so lonely to be who you are, sometimes, mind gets cruel, too much thoughts and memories,  when you really just want it to stop, to go silent and to give you a rest sometimes, it's panic, other times, sadness anger, exhaustion, frustration sometimes, it is too much to process, other times, numbness and regardless of what it is, how big or small you don't have to face it alone by a big chance, i can't solve the problem, but hey, dark places are much less scary when not alone sharing, talking and feeling understood can help you feel much more ready to face, get thru and sometimes, solve the problems 

“Asking for help is never a sign of weakness. It's one of the bravest things you can do. And it can save your life.” - Lily Collins  Hi there! I am unique73 (as my username suggests), I also go by Aanya, and I am passionate about helping others who may be struggling with mental health problems. I believe that sometimes the most powerful way to help someone is simply to listen to them. I also believe that reaching out and asking for help is one of the bravest things a person can do. I am a compassionate and empathetic listener with a deep passion for mental health and wellness.  Having struggled with my own mental health challenges in the past and still struggling (manageable) I understand the importance of having someone to talk to who can provide a safe and non-judgmental listening ear. As a listener, I am committed to providing a safe and supportive space to share your feelings and thoughts.  I have more than 2 years of experience in listening on 7 cups and supporting others outside of cups too, whether it’s been as a friend, a family member, or simply a listening ear for someone in need. I have had my fair share of life and yet to experience a lot more. I get that everyone is unique and everyone’s journey of life is different. I am open to listening to your life experiences, views, struggles, insights, anything. I am also open to casual chats as long as they are appropriate and abide with the site guidelines. I understand and relate to not being able to talk and still need someone to be there for you, I assure you that I can be your companion in silence too. <3  If you feel I can provide you the space you need, feel free to reach out. I am available to chat mostly on weekends around afternoon (IST time zone). I keep my status online (green) if I am available to take a chat, if my status is busy (orange) my replies will be late, I try to give my undivided attention to the person I am listening at a time, and if my status is offline (red) I am not logged in to the website, you may expect my replies within 48 hrs. Looking forward to having a conversation with you.  Take care and have a great day/night/evening ahead.    “Your acts of kindness are iridescent wings of divine love, which linger and continue to uplift others long after your sharing.” ― Rumi

-Inactive- Feel free to click here to check my farewell post!  [https://www.7cups.com/forum/GeneralSupport_28/DiscussionsSelfCareandResources_931/ListenersFarewellTakingaBreakReturningThreadSendYourRegards_37727/8/#2857905] ~Not accepting any member chat~ My name is Sia and I'm so glad to have you here! I may or may not relate to your situation, but I promise to try my best to understand what you are experiencing. I believe that having support is more valuable than having direct solutions to our problems and it would be my pleasure to support you in any way I can. I highly believe in acknowledging and reacting and once we acknowledge the problems & take steps towards them, we are two steps closer to improvement. My chats are always a non-judgmental, compassionate and safe place for everyone. I admire you so much for being there for yourself and reaching out for support. I may not be able to solve your problems, but I can surely be a companion on your path towards healing. Your feelings are valid and I truly believe in you, your inner self who believes that things will improve. You aren't alone and no matter how hard your current situation is, I am certain that you will overcome it. Stay you because you are truly wonderful.
