Hello! I chose the picture of an apple because it represents to me growth and potential. The apple can grow to become the best apple it can be. I think we all have potential, and I also believe that most people are not solely good or bad- we are a combination of light and dark. That's just human nature. I've been here since 2013, and I am now in my 30s. I have always been told I'm a good listener and person to come to. People have come to me years after talking to them because they remembered I was someone to confide in. I like to think of myself as open minded, non judgmental, and compassionate. I try to be honest, but tactfully so. I find the best people in my life are those that tell me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear, and that is something I practice with others. I hope to be here for you, and I will cheerlead you on. I cannot give advice, but I will be a support for you. I take casual chats, so even if you're just bored or need someone to talk to and don't have a pressing issue, I am happy to talk to you.  My strengths lie in the subjects I have listed on my profile, so I will not be the best fit for everyone (and that is okay!). I hope everyone can get the help they need from whoever it is, even if it's not me. If I cannot help you, I will let you know and try to connect you with someone that can. I do the best with chats that can be asynchronous, as my schedule varies and I don't want to promise I can sit down for a real time chat if I cannot. That is unfair to both of us time wise, and time is a precious thing. Updated March 23, 2023 I have joined the admin team as a Quality Specialist for the volunteer community. I am still involved in all the things below, but as I am now involved widely across the site in different ways, if you need to know who to talk to regarding any of the below activities, please PM me and I will direct you to who you should talk to, whether it be me or someone else. If you have questions about anything Quality related, please PM me!

🌸 WELCOME! 🌸 I'm an experienced verified listener who is open minded, non-judgemental and I'm open to almost all topics. All I ask is that you respect my boundaries, such as my time constraints and/or my statuses (see at the bottom of bio). Whilst I support the topic of sexual health, this does not mean I am comfortable discussing kinks/fetishes, nor will I partake in anything of that nature either.  I cannot replace the role of a therapist/psychologist. If you feel that you need more support for your mental health condition or require advice, please reach out to a licensed professional. I am not able to support you during a crisis. If you feel you're experiencing a crisis, please contact a helpline here - https://www.7cups.com/crisis/ 🌸 AVAILABILITY 🌸 My time zone is GMT / BST. I am available to live chat for up to an hour at a time. I am open to arranging a time to chat if you'd like to chat for longer though! I work and am disabled, so my availability can vary quite a lot, which is why I'm much better at providing one off, short term support. However, I am happy for you to reach out to update me on what's been happening since we last spoke.  🌸 ABOUT ME  🌸 I'm in my late twenties, I have a cat who I adore and I spend a lot of my free time watching movies, cross stitching and playing video games. I live with multiple health conditions which makes life a little more challenging, but it means I can relate to members who are disabled or are living with chronic health conditions.  🌸 MY ROLES 🌸 + Anonymous Evaluations Team +  🌸 STATUSES 🌸S Online  I'm open to chatting/helping anyone, including listeners who might need some help with listening. Feel free to message me. Busy  You can request to chat, but I may not reply to your message or request, as I may be busy with other roles or helping others in chats.  Offline  I'm offline, having a self-care break, taking scheduled chats, supporting/hosting group discussions or unavailable to take personal requests. If I'm in a chatroom, please ask to send me a message. Being in a chatroom doesn't mean I'm available to take a 1-1 chat.

I do not take 1-1 member chats at this time. Please refer to https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/ [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/] to find yourself a suitable listener or connect with a live listener. I will possibly ignore a simple "hello" or random inquiries for support. Hello! I'm Avaria. My current responsibilities/roles on cups: - Anonymous Evaluator - Peer supporter - Academy's Internship Program mentor - Listener verifier - Listener discussions host - Peer appreciation team's smile spreader 7 cups Academy progress: - Quality Listening Program Graduate (honors) I am an INTP (logician).

Hi! My name is Eric. Welcome to 7 cups!!! Any guest or member receives an empathetic, experienced and well-rated listener that I interact with. Everyone has issues in their life that are valid in their life that I want to at least actively listen to help find the exact words, direction needed, or simply vent. I generally will ask follow-up questions for clarity or more detail, but you are not required to share information you are uncomfortable saying. Please do not hesitate to tell me how you want chats to go.  Everyone matters and has immense worth. People will try to invalidate you or make unfair comparisons. I will try my absolute hardest to heighten self-esteem and reinforce positive cognitive behavior because I have lived through feeling the opposite. My 1 on 1s are open for anyone and I will respond as soon as I can. If I am offline, I receive push notifications to my phone and will try to reach you when I can. If I list myself as busy, I may need a longer time to respond. I have no set schedule, but try to strive for daily interaction. After our chat, leave me with an HONEST review/rating. I want to be 5* as much as I can, and if I haven't made you feel that way, let me know in the ratings/reviews/our one-on-ones :) I am a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and I am diagnosed from depression, anxiety, ADD and mixed bipolar with suspicions of autism spectrum disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder. If you need more information about me to help with trust, context, or to select me please let me know. "You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress simultaneously." - Unknown

Hi, I’m Izzy. I used to be very active on 7 Cups a couple years ago, and helped out in many different leadership positions, hence the large number of badges you can see on my profile. I am no longer in these positions, please reach out to a current mentor if you are a listener seeking support 💕. I’m rejoining 7 cups because I want to be able to make a difference. Over the past few years I’ve learned a lot about mental health through my own personal struggles, and I know the power that having someone to listen to you holds. I’m not here to solve your problems. That’s almost certainly something I cannot do. But if you’d like to chat something through, bounce ideas off a buddy or simply get something off your chest, feel free to shoot me a message. I am happy to talk about most topics aside from those sexual in nature. I have most lived experience with: eating disorders, anxiety, social anxiety and depression. I am also autistic and asexual so am happy to support neurodivergent individuals and those who are part of the LGBTQ+ community :).

      *On self-Care Break*    🖤Sorry, I am not accepting new member chats at the moment🖤 ♥️Hii, Liz here, welcome to our safe space!🖤 I love to listen and support and will do all I can to make your day go a little smoother.

(Inactive, on a break. Expect very slow responses please. ) *spots a nice human* Hey there! I've dealt with a lot, and I want to let you know that if you are dealing with a lot too, you are not alone. It helps to just talk about stuff!!! Feel free to reach out and talk to someone-it helps. Please see- I am sorry if I am unavailable while you are reading this, so please talk to another listener [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/] if you want support now. Or if you want you can drop me messages and I'll reply within 48 hours. I am here for you! 💜I am now an ATL so both teens and adults can message me💜 Please note- I am generally unavailable for casual chats. 💜   💜💜Let's make it a happier place for everyone!!💜💜 Quick note- I am no longer an ambassador. For any VL related queries, please reach out to @ASilentObserver [http://7cups.com/@ASilentObserver] I can talk about most topics. Chats I am uncomfortable with- Self harm, a member under influence, parenting (like I'm uncomfortable talking about things from a parental point of view. If you want to talk about your parents, that's okay) Members- Please go through the first part of my bio before sending me a message/request (I've indicated till where). If that seems like a lot you can simply read the highlighted and underlined portions I chat for not more than 45 minutes at a time. I am here to listen compassionately and without judgement. The chat will be confidential.💜💜 I can talk about all topics except self harm and parenting. (You can talk about your parents, but not about your kids please).💜 I am uncomfortable chatting about self harm (due to personal reasons) If you want to talk about it please contact another listener. Also if you are thinking about doing it now then please contact a crisis resource 7cups.com/crisis [https://www.7cups.com/7cups.com/crisis] I am uncomfortable talking to members who are under the influence (of alcohol or any other narcotic substance) I am comfortable chatting with neurodiverse members and DID/OSDD systems. I do take chats about sexual assault, PTSD and LGBTQ+ issues💜💜 I do take chats on sexual health (but I am very selective here). Please don't ask me to control your urges or for any inappropriate "help". Please keep in mind that this website is for emotional support, and I would appreciate it if you can be respectful and considerate. I may be unfamiliar with some of the topics you may want to talk about, but I can read up on them during the chat or in-between chat sessions...since sadly I can't know everything (though I wish I did). However if I didn't mention a topic, I am comfortable talking about it. My triggers- Self-harm (and related descriptions). For all members- before reaching out to chat, please check my status- Red(offline)- I am offline and not replying. However you can still drop messages and I will get back to you later. Response time 48 hours Green(online)- I am online, free and open to your chat requests… Orange(Busy)- I am here but I already am talking to too many people here or busy somewhere on 7cups so I am unable to give you the attention you deserve. I recommend you to look for another listener by clicking here [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/].... Response time 3-4 hours max.  Note for all members Please note that if I am in the chatrooms and my status is offline, that means I am not currently available for chatting in the PMs.(Usually it means I am about to log out soon and therefore can't chat). In that case you can send me a PM and I'll get back to you in 48h. I do care about you a lot because you are an awesome person...I'll do my best to support you!! If I am unable to do so for any reason, please feel free to reach out to another amazing listener here [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/]. You may not be comfortable with me, and I totally respect that and want you to get the best help possible. My PMs are a safe space where you can talk about things, and I am here for you. I care for you all💜💜 I have been facing memory difficulties (due to dissociation), so I may not always remember details about what you tell me, or sometimes I might lose track of what you are talking about. I sometimes might also miss out on tags or messages for the same reason, in which case you are very welcome to follow up with me or tag me again within 2-3 days. Please bear with me on that, and remember that I am here for you, and I am trying my best. My sincerest apologies for the same. Also I'm slow to reply to tags so if it's urgent, message me the link to the post as well💜 *💜sends lots of love for you💜* Please note that I do not check in regularly (since I find it hard to keep track of that), so my listening style is more like you can peek in anytime you need support. Members whom I've spoken to before are welcome to drop a message when they need support as well💜.  Important note- I am a trained listener but I am not a professional therapist so I will be unable to give you advice and/or therapy-like support. You can still drop me a message if you want to talk about what you're struggling with, I'll be here to listen to you. If you are looking for professional therapy (paid) here at 7Cups and you are an adult then please click here [https://www.7cups.com/online-therapy/?ob=1] Unfortunately 7Cups doesn't offer therapy for teens but I hope you get the support you need and deserve. Please note- I am unavailable for casual chats with anyone- be it listeners, members or friends due to time commitments. If you want to talk to me, poke my PMs anytime and I'll surely get back to you!! *💜sending comfy vibes💜* If you are willing to live chat with me, but can't spot me online, please drop me a message so we can discuss availabilities and schedule a chat. Looking forward to speaking to you! Please go through the part of my profile above this before sending me a request!   Some Quick resources for emergencies Crisis link here [http://7cups.com/crisis] or you can chat anonymously for crisis support here [https://nycwell.cityofnewyork.us/en/get-help-now/chat-with-a-counselor-now/]. For Self harm urges, alternatives here [http://7cups.com/forum/SelfHarmRecovery_65/InformationandResources_1079/DistractionsandAlternativeCopingStrategies_221562/] For panic attacks- here are grounding techniques [https://www.7cups.com/forum/TraumaticExperiencesCommunity_60/TraumaRecoveryResources_481/GroundingWhenTriggered_42512/], more grounding techniques [https://www.therapistaid.com/therapy-article/grounding-techniques-article], breathing exercises (Youtube [https://youtu.be/vXZ5l7G6T2I] or Gif [https://i.imgur.com/bg6J9md.gif]) and muscle relaxation [https://youtu.be/I0wVZIxoe-Q]  A little bit about me ;) If you have lots of extra time, then maybe you may want to read my full bio- You could call me Lavender but everyone just calls me Lav. Some people like to call me cool nicknames like Little Lav, Lave, Lavy, Lavvie, Law(?), Empa, or even Lab (short for laboratory- I love lab)- so if you are too lazy to type Lavender and are bored of Lav then you can call me all that.   The lovely @courageousheart96 [http://7cups.com/@courageousheart96] dedicated an emoji to me (I'm so honoured hehe)- the lav heart💜💜 💜💜You can use pronouns they/them for me💜💜 I am an ace (asexual) and an ally for the LGBTQ+/MOGII community. I am currently a full time uni student in a STEM field (Biotech), which means time is tricky at times. But I try to be here as much as possible.  Some mental health issues that I live with are depression, PTSD, OSDD and chronic anxiety. Members please feel free to message me if you want to talk about these with a listener who has experience. Languages- I speak English, French (well I don't "speak" French well, it's kinda rusty) and I am trying to learn basic Korean. I also speak (but won't be chatting in) Hindi My trigger- self harm 💜Hugs are no longer a trigger for me💜 I said a lot already so I would prefer it if you don't come up with very personal questions (and please don't ask any personal questions for a second time). Please understand that is because I love my privacy and you should love your privacy too!  Also I run a snack-shop here at 7Cups, so there are cookies and cakes and all sorts of awesome stuff for everyone💜 As of now my primary focus is on supporting listeners on the site. Due to personal reasons it is not possible for me to be available regularly for live member support chats. I do live member chats on-and-off and I always update my bio accordingly. I am, however, always open to new members via slow pace chats. Members are always welcome to seek support from me by exchanging offline messages with a maximum response time 48 hours from my side. My favourite place on 7Cups is the PMland- so feel free to text me anytime and I'll surely get back to you within 48h. And my PMs are a spam-friendly space for all :) 💜💜 A quick note- My country shown changes from time to time, since it reflects the country I am currently in. This is to ensure transparency regarding the timezone I am in. I generally reply to all PMs within 48 hours. If I'm on a break or unable to reply timely for any reason I'll surely add that to the top of my bio. If I did not reply within this time, it does not mean I'm angry or anything, because of memory issues or technical glitches I may sometimes miss messages. My sincerest apologies for the same. So in that case please feel free to send me another message. Also response time may be a bit delayed on weekends but I'll try to ensure it's within 48 hours. 💜 You might know me from my previous username (empatheticLavender2924)- changed it since this one is simpler:) My roles here- 💜First and foremost- I am a verified listener [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenerLearningJourney_149/QualityProjectsVerifiedListeners_144/IWanttobeaVerifiedListener_46935/1/] which means I am someone who will try their best to listen to you.

Sometimes the weather is not good- sometimes it is sunny and sometimes cloudy and rainy. Sometimes the rain is a storm that destroys everything. The storm felt never-ending and overwhelming. However the storm has calmed down, and is not scary and risky anymore. The sunlight comes back, but all you can see is the damage from the storm (post-trauma effects). The damage looks terrible but you can't look away from it.  Here- I'll remind you- look how far you've come- you've survived the scary storm. That's amazing. There will be damage and that's totally ok. Remember you can make it through- since you survived the storms you are strong enough to slowly clean the mess and heal. That is sad as it will remind you of the storm, and the mess is huge. It takes time to clean up, but you can do this. I know you can. And to those friends of mine whose storms aren't over yet- I see you, I hear you. I know you too are doing your very best and did nothing to deserve this. It might feel like the storm will never end- it will be here forever. But the storm will be over. One day things will get better. And after that you might have to do the post-storm cleaning (or post-traumatic healing) and that is hard, but you got this. One day you'll look back on everything and be really proud of yourself- how hard you tried and how far you've come. If you feel like you are trying but tired, and scared and worried, I hear you. It is tiring to manage everything, and sometimes it is hard to talk about it. But if you want someone to be there for you- I am just one PM away. Come talk to me about it (or any other listener here). We are all here for you, and you can do it because you are amazing and brave. The end of my bio;) This bio is so long, smh so I'll stop here. Sending lots of healing beams for you, yes you amazing fairy!!
