Bio

Having gone from hell and back again, I know what it is like to experience true suffering and come out on the bright side. I keep all personal details to myself, as I don't want that to detract from the purpose you are here; to seek some form of help, whether that be advice, comfort, or both. "The issues that I have knowledge about, or have experience helping others with, are as follows: drug/alcohol addiction, physical,mental, emotional,and sexual abuse-including past trauma during childhood-Schizophrenia,OCD,bipolar, depression, and anxiety.However if you have borderline or conduct disorder I may have to refer you to another listener, as I've no experience in that area. I also have knowledge in  Chronic illness and pain,relationship problems. sexual addictions and sexual issues (i.e. e.d.,etc...) self esteem issues and isolation, eating disorders (including overeating), suicide and  LGBTQ. issues. Regardless of your age or gender, please reach out to me, and if I don't know how to help you or how to respond, I will help you get in touch with something or a group that can. Everything we will talk about will be confidential and I will not judge you.  With that being said, if you truly are suicidal as you are reading, please contact 1-800-SUICIDE,so you can get more immediate help. EVERY LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL, INCLUDING YOURS!  Lives will be forever affected when you're gone, so never forget that. You may contact me as well and if i'm not online I will respond ASAP,but definitely don't hesitate nor be ashamed to call the suicide hotline or 911 if you are seriously having suicidal thoughts. I take being a 7cups listener very seriously and  look forward to speaking with you, friend!

Feedback & Reviews
that'd me be the best listener ever for real! very very very caring
Really just wonderful and helpful. I could tell that she cared and that was exactly what I needed. Thanks so much
Really helpful and was great at understanding me. I was able to comfortably talk about my problems and begin to figure out how to go about solving them. Definitely recommend, response time was outstanding as well
I was so glad to come across this listener. She is very kind and empathetic. She is non judgemental and caring. She is also generous with her time which is a true sign of a caring individual.
I had a really helpfull chat, if you need someone to talk, this listener is really nice and is really helpfull.
Understanding, not preachy and avoided giving advice, which is something that doesn't work for me. Instead she heard my experience and took me seriously.
Helped me in a very short period of time! :)
She is great! She is smart too
A loving listener who is always there to help you no matter what. Thank you so much!! You have supported me through the hardest times in my life and pulled me out the other side. Will definitely be speaking to you soon. x
Very analytical, observant, and really comprehends my situation.
Amazing

SHE IS AWSOME! The best person I ever talked too.. I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE CHATED WITH SOME LIKE HER.... SHE MAKES ME WANT TO KEEP FIGHTING... I don't know where I would be without her... I really don't, and I honestly don't wanna think about that... she was the first person I talked to on here and the one that I chat with everyday... She believes in me, even tho I don't believe in myself... She is always there... and I am so greatful for her... She came into my life when I need it the most... Someday I hope to be just like her...

AworldofPeaceandHope is very patient, calm and caring. One of the best listeners I have encountered so far.
She's sweet, understanding, and made me feel like I wasn't alone. I'm so grateful that people like her exist. ♡
Empathetic and lovely, willing to bear with me through many complicated and difficult situations. Patient, compassionate, and very easy to get a long with. Always trust listeners (and people) who treat their pets well.
Thank you for caring!
She is a very sweet and compassionate.
