Bio

Seni-back from break, won't be taking any new members. 🖤💜


Please read my bio before messaging me.


Heya. I'm Rain. It's very nice meeting you! I'm a college student from Turkey. Despite my young age I have been through a lot journeying life, so I promise to offer a compassionate and judgment-free environment in our chats. I commend your courage and strength: reaching out for support is never easy! 


**As listed on my profile, I only offer support chats in English. Although I am fluent in more languages, I have taken my training in English, thus I feel comfortable offering support only in that language.**


**Please do not message me asking if I am willing to make an exception.**


Topics I am most comfortable offering support with:


- Anxiety & Anxiety Attacks


- Depression


- Panic Attacks


- Break-Ups


- Self-Harm


- Domestic Abuse


- Relationship Stress



Topics I prefer not to discuss:


- LGBTQIA+ Issues


- Personality Disorders


- Schizophrenia


- Grief


- Politics or religion. 


**Please note; I prefer not to discuss these as I don't feel sufficiently trained in said topics.**

The Importance of Critical Thinking in Decision-making
IDG 7 Cups Community Hub / by ChillingRain

...See more Critical thinking is a skill that has had a profound impact on how I approach problems and make decisions. In the IDG framework, critical thinking is described as the ability to review the validity of views, evidence, and plans. This means going beyond accepting information at face value and instead asking questions, analyzing the sources, and considering different perspectives.  One of the key moments when I realized the power of critical thinking was during a major life decision—choosing a career path. I felt overwhelmed by opinions from family, friends, and societal expectations. However, by applying critical thinking, I began evaluating the evidence behind the advice I was given. Was it based on current job market trends, or was it rooted in outdated beliefs? I also considered my own interests and long-term vision for my life. This process helped me feel more confident in my decision, knowing it was well-thought-out rather than influenced by external pressures. In today's world, where we are bombarded with information from various sources, critical thinking is essential. It allows us to navigate through misinformation and make informed choices, both in our personal and professional lives. Discussion Prompt: - How do you practice critical thinking when faced with important decisions or overwhelming amounts of information? - Have you ever applied critical thinking to challenge your own beliefs? What was the outcome?
The Power of Self-awareness
IDG 7 Cups Community Hub / by ChillingRain

...See more Self-awareness is a skill that has greatly impacted my personal growth. According to the Inner Development Goals (IDG) framework, self-awareness is defined as the ability to reflect on one's thoughts, feelings, and desires while maintaining a realistic self-image. This has allowed me to understand my strengths and weaknesses and, more importantly, recognize my emotional triggers.  For me, becoming more self-aware was not an overnight transformation. It took intentional effort and regular reflection. I started by journaling daily and paying close attention to my reactions in certain situations. By doing this, I was able to identify patterns in my behavior—especially moments when I became defensive or anxious. Over time, this helped me regulate my emotions more effectively, helping create a sense of calm and better decision-making. I found that the more self-aware I became, the better I was at aligning my actions with my values.  One thing I learned along the way is that self-awareness isn't about being critical of yourself but about accepting yourself for who you are. It opens the door to self-acceptance, which lays a solid foundation for personal growth. Discussion Prompt:  - How has self-awareness influenced your relationships and decision-making? Do you have any specific practices that help you develop this skill? - How can we cultivate self-awareness without becoming overly critical of ourselves?
Sharing Part of Upcoming Book

...See more Hello all! I just wanted to share a small piece of a book I'm writing. I hope you enjoy! Oh, and all feedback is highly welcomed. I won't improve without criticism! **Trigger Warning: mention of family turmoil and violence.** "One hot summer's day after I had graduated 1st grade, as heat waves were visibly radiating, the scorching sun stood high in the sky shining brighter than ever. I woke up with an achy chest and a sharp headache. I had finished the 1st grade having scored the highest in my school that year; it was two weeks after school had ended. My chest ache stemmed from my sleeping on the ceramic floor but it did not concern me much, as I was accustomed to it. The unbearable heat dried out the liquids in my body, making my lips chapped and faded. I heard Father's laughter. He was with Mother and my siblings, making vulgar jokes and telling stories from his days as a soldier. I had to go past the room my family sat in to get to the kitchen and I did not want to be seen by them, since I knew they would invite me to sit there too. Despite my best effort to be inconspicuous, I ended up sitting next to Father upon his demand and was subjected to his untasteful jokes. I was visibly irritated, for my physical ailments prevented me from acting interested. I could feel my father’s gaze burn at me so I glanced over at him and time slowed down. I could count every visible speck of dust shining with the sunlight coming from the window behind him. Everything was almost fixed in place. I felt each contracting and constricting muscle fibre trying to make my body lunge backwards. I thought it quite odd and fascinating. I had not ordered my muscles to push me back. My body worked on its own at full capacity. I did not want that moment to ever end. I felt like I had enough strength to bear the weight of mountains. But then I came to realise time had slowed since a knife was darting towards my stomach."
