my name is lo and I've been struggling with depression, ADHD, sh, possibly OCD too (I'm self diagnosed cuz my parents don't want me to). my depression has been coming back recently, so I want some help managing that. I actually heard about this through an ai on WhatsApp, but so far it's been pretty helpful ;)
@lolorye89
so happy to hear your journey with us is starting off well! we're glad to have you!
@Heather225

@lolorye89

uhhhhhh, hi everyone. Collectively we go by Stray (and indivually my name is Treke) we are still learning the site and mostly use mobile lol (though I got the desktop site up now and its much easier to navigate!)
We have a history of C-PTSD, BPD, DID, and Psychosis on top of being AuDHD. We work part time as a cook at a small cafe and spend our free time drawing or playing video games.
I really enjoy pet simulators and things like Don't Starve and Stardew Valley.
It's nice to meet yall!

Hey I’m Claire, (new listener)! Doing this volunteer work makes my soul fuller and makes me feel even more confident in my decision to pursue therapy. Ever since a pre-teen I have had a dream to be a volunteer for a crisis-line. And finding this (while not a crisis-line) has made me feel like I’m living what I always wanted for myself and dreamed of doing! I’m so grateful for the opportunity to help support people on this platform!
@8Claire8

@Heather225
Hi! I signed up as a Listener because I know how deeply it matters to feel heard, even just once, by one person.
I've had moments in my life where someone listening without judgment made all the difference, and I want to be that person for someone else now.
What brought me here is a genuine desire to hold space for people, whether they’re lost, confused, tired, or want to talk about their day. Sometimes you don’t need advice. You just need to speak freely. That’s the kind of listener I strive to be.
My goal is to offer calm in the chaos, compassion without conditions, and maybe help someone feel a little less alone.

@Heather225 for a "calm between the storms"...I've been living with Bipolar 1 my whole life...I don't want anyone to understand that necessarily, but to be understood for being "neurotypical" or "neurodivergent"...or just "BEING ME"...
Welcome
