[Listeners] Farewell/Taking a Break/Returning Thread: Send Your Regards
This is the public support counterpart of this thread [L] so that listeners can let the whole community know if they are leaving or if they have come back. Below excerpt taken and modified from the original thread:
Some Listeners decide, at one point or another, to take a break or in special cases to leave the site as a Listener. During their time here they may have made connections with others in the community and sometimes people aren't aware that they have left or are misinformed and thus never get the opportunity to sent their warm wishes. Thus, this thread is meant for Listeners to inform the community that they are leaving or taking a break and leave their appropriate comments for others to read. Moreover, returning Listeners can post here as well to inform the community that they are active again.
Returning to 7 Cups after a break? We have a welcome Back Committee now, you can find information here (clickable), and reach out. Your peers and mentors are here for you. <3
Lastly, others in the community can send their regards to these Listeners.
[L] indicates a Listeners Only thread

@MonBon great timing haha. Well Im just back after a long break. At first i was little hesitant wondering if i "could still do it", but i worked that doubt out and i gotta say it feels good to be back.
@ColdWinterLove
Glad to see you're back! Coming back after a break can be a little uncomfortable sometimes, but I'm confident you will pull through :)
@ColdWinterLove - Welcome back! If you ever need to chat with someone as you adjust back into the rhythm, feel free to PM me. :)
Hey friends! MonBon is taking a break
But don't worry, this is just because I happen to have a week-long break from school so I feel it will be best if I take a break from here as well.
✿Forum Team questions can be directed to the marvelous @poeticguy
✿Other Forum questions can be directed to the lovely @Anomalia
✿Anything urgent can be emailed to me directly at monbon@7cupsoftea.com
✿New mentees, for ongoing chat support it is best to go to a listener chatroom and find an active mentor there. Otherwise, I will be back soon to help you continue to grow 
@Bladderwhale @MITlistener6799 @MoonMother @Faerianna2
I will be gone from March 12th - March 20th, but if we have already scheduled something I will be there. I'll be back soon everyone, until then, happy listening 

Hey all. I decided it's time to take a break and focus on my offline well-being for a little while.
That being said, I will be OFFLINE from Sunday March 13th till Sunday March 20th so please try to find a better Listener during this period. I hope you will all keep safe and take good care of yourself (Listeners & Members, Mentors & Ambassadors, Admins & Staff).
See ya all soon!
@cristiana33 - Take care, lovely, and enjoy your time away - I hope it gives you all the rejuvination and relaxation that you need and that you take good care of yourself during it.
Hi all, I will be on vacation from Thursday through Sunday. I'm not deactivating and will try to check messages if possible, but may take longer to respond than usual, so please forgive me if you don't hear from me until Monday! Take care, my lovelies!
@Anomalia ~ Enjoy your vacation! 
I have been on an extended break as I finished my Master's degree. I was working and taking care of my kids and it just all became too much and I needed a break. I finished my Master's program so now I am back. Hello everyone. It is good to be back. @_Belle @Heather
@Alwaysdreamin - Welcome back!
@Alwaysdreamin ~ Welcome back! 
Hello everybody!
I took my account down on Monday over some more threats from members and having a fight with a listener, I stayed away until last night( Friday night) I wanted to come back and see if I felt anything, and tbh I don't any more, and I don't even feel like this is my place no more, I'm starting a new character in my life, and I don't see 7cups in it. I do want to say thank you so much for everything you done for me, and I know I say i'm leaving , a lot, But this time I really mean it. I have no place to be a listener no more on this site, or anywhere tbh. My life don't lay within listening route anyways, I want to force more on my Real life. Anyways i know i always say 'Hey i'm leaving' blah blah blah But this time i really mean it,, This is me saying good bye!
I'm not tagging anybody, because well i spoke to nearly everybody at least once! And so man people i dont remember al lyour names xx <3 But please remember that YOU are awesome, and are so strong! You can do anything xxx Each and every one of you, Can take over your stuggles and do so much in your life! Show the world what your made off, because i know yu made of so much!!! <3
Well this is blue now leaving the site for good! and it does make me cry, as this site been part of my life for over 2 years, thou thick and thin, i had everybody here support me, Thank you so much, i can never give you enough thanks for everything every single thing every single person has done for me
Blue loves you all!! <3 fair well and god bles! xxxx
Hey all, just wanted to update you lovelies that I may be a little less available this week - I am currently traveling for an interview and then just as soon as I get home, I take off again for a wedding. I'll still try to respond, but might be a bit slow, and will be back to normal on Tuesday! <3
@Anomalia
Best of luck! and take care :)
I think I may have put my original departure post in the wrong "taking a break" thread but I am tentatively back. I have to work out a new listening schedule that co-incides with my work schedule (because I own my own business and deadlines are vital), my real desire to provide peer support in a time when there aren't enough peer supporters to do the job, and to allow my regular members to chat with me. I don't want members to become dependent upon me OR 7Cups but to learn to deal with issues in their own way... I've been compiling resources while I've been on break. I won't be back full time just yet. But I will be popping in from time to time :)
@magicallySmiles50 - Welcome back! I'm glad to hear you've found (or are finding) a tentative schedule that feels like you can get everything in that's important to you, from your business and personal time to providing the support to your members and peer support. You are such a valued member of this community, and I'm thrilled that there is hopefully a way to balance it all so that you can feel good about each thing you work on, and not that they are at odds with each other. Good luck, and if you ever need some help thinking through that balancing act or anything else, don't hesitate to reach out! :)
@Anomalia Thank you My friend!! I am going to work this through with my Quality Mentor and my Listener but I do think that anyone with a feel for when peer support would be most needed would be awesome. I can take a break at any time during my day since I am my own boss :) However, I'm really not the most alert first thing in the morning LOL!
@magicallySmiles50 @StandForFreedom - Do you know when peer support might be most in demand?
@Anomalia I am not very active in LSR at the moment so am unsure. @Power and @Jaceofspades are heading up the PS training now. Perhaps one of them has an idea of what time of day more peer supports are needed in LSR.
@StandForFreedom Thank you! I will message Power or Jace to see what the story is. :)
Okay hai all,
So this has always been on my mind, thinking about whatr im going to do, how im gonna conduct my life so ehre it is. Things have gotten alot worse over the past couple wweek and i have tried to hide it the best i can so i can continually support those people that i do here and remain a positive member of this amazing community. But right now things have gotten tough,too tough where i can barely hang on anymore. I have let people i love get hurt because of this and i have done some terrible things both to others and mytself because of this and i cant live with myself after doing this and being like this. School has become overwhelming for me im not going very well and there is a huge amount of pressure i get from my parents to pass is ridiculous and most of the time they believe im putting njo effort in when i am.
So after all this stress i jsut really cant take it anymore so my plan is for the rest of this year im going to deactivate and hopefgully regenerate focus on my study and then next year January 1 ill be back. I may be back for my 1year cuppiversary September 10 but thats about the onyl thing i will be back for. I know in the past i usually dont stick to my breaks but this time im going to try my best and stick to it. Usually i go yeah ill go on a break then less than a week later im back but this wont be the case im sticking to this one.
Im going to miss you all each and everyone of you. This site feels like my home and each and everyone of you feel like my family. I feel so welcome and warm here i feel like this ts the place that i can come regardless and feel warm and instantly feel better. Wait i dont think i know it is. This site is truly a noble one and each and everyone of you are such awesome people and i hope you all continue doing such an incredible job and never stop being amazing guys.
Now i really hate goodbyes they hurt so im gonna cut it short ehre so i dont have to put you guys through anymore than you hjave to ill miss you and i love you all so so so much.
