Bio

🌸 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. 

 🌸 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.

...See more On the app and on desktop, with multiple images, different sizes, it just will not work. It used to not even show an error message, but now I tried again today after seeing the site changes, hoping it would've been fixed, but it's now simply showing as 403 forbidden. When will this problem be fixed?! I've been trying it for months now and have reported it a few times to 7 Cups but nothing ever gets fixed.

...See more Maybe your health hasn't been the best recently, or maybe you're in a flare. Or you're feeling down because you're still dealing with unsupportive remarks from people about your condition. Whatever it is that's got you down, I thought it would be nice to identify and share what you do to help you feel better, so it could help and inspire others to consider their own self-care plan. So, what is your best self-care approach when you're going through a difficult time?❤️

What is Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)?
Disability Support / by SilentSerenityy

...See more What is IBD? [https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15587-inflammatory-bowel-disease-overview] Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of disorders that cause chronic inflammation in the intestines. It is a chronic life long autoimmune condition that requires treatment to keep it in remission or to subdue flare ups (when symptoms are active). There is no cure. Many people with IBD may experience mental health issues due to the challenges of living with the condition. What types of IBD are there? * Crohn's Disease - affects the entire digestive tract from the mouth to the *** * Ulcerative colitis (UC) - affects the rectum and colon * Microscopic colitis - inflammation can only be detected with a microscope * Indeterminate colitis - when doctors are unsure whether you have Crohn's/UC How common is IBD? Globally, 10 million people [https://ampersandhealth.co.uk/myibdcare/resources/ibd-statistics-2022-crohns-and-ulcerative-colitis/#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20EFCCA%2C%20there,to%20most%20other%20western%20countries.] suffer from IBD; 3.1 million (1.3%) Americans and 0.81% or 1 in 123 people in the UK [https://crohnsandcolitis.org.uk/news-stories/news-items/new-research-shows-over-1-in-123-people-in-uk-living-with-crohn-s-or-colitis] have a type of IBD. It is considered a rare disease by some. [https://www.ferring.com/home-classic/people-and-families/gastroenterology/inflammatory-bowel-diseases] What's the difference between IBD and Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)? IBD is a disease; IBS [https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/4342-irritable-bowel-syndrome-ibs] is a syndrome, or group of symptoms. The causes and treatments are different. IBS is a type of functional gastrointestinal disease [https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/7040-gastrointestinal-diseases]. It affects how the bowels function, causing them to contract more (or sometimes less) often than usual. IBS is also known as spastic colon or nervous stomach. IBS doesn’t inflame or damage the intestines like IBD, so imaging scans can’t detect it and it doesn’t increase the risk of colon cancer. People with IBS rarely need hospitalization or surgery. What causes IBD? Researchers are still trying to determine why some people develop IBD. Three factors appear to play a role: * Genetics: As many as 1 in 4 people with IBD have a family history of the disease. * Immune system response: The immune system [https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/21196-immune-system] typically fights off infections. In people with IBD, the immune system mistakes foods as foreign substances. It releases antibodies (proteins) to fight off this threat, causing IBD symptoms. * Environmental triggers: People with a family history of IBD may develop the disease after exposure to an environmental trigger. These triggers include smoking [https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/17488-smoking], stress [https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/11874-stress], medication use and depression [https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/9290-depression]. What are the non-surgical treatments for IBD? * Aminosalicylates (an anti-inflammatory medicine like sulfasalazine, mesalamine or balsalazide) minimize irritation to the intestines. * Antibiotics [https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/drugs/16386-antibiotics] treat infections and abscesses. * Biologics interrupt signals from the immune system that cause inflammation. * Corticosteroids [https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/drugs/4812-corticosteroids], such as prednisone [https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/drugs/20469-prednisone-tablets], keep the immune system in check and manage flares. * Immunomodulators calm an overactive immune system. What are the complications of IBD? People with IBD have a higher risk of developing colon (colorectal) cancer [https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/14501-colorectal-colon-cancer]. Other potential complications include: * *** fistula [https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/14466-***-fistula] (tunnel that forms under the skin connecting an infected *** gland and the ***). * *** stenosis or stricture (narrowing of the *** canal where stool leaves the body). * Anemia [https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/3929-anemia] (low levels of red blood cells) or blood clots [https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17675-blood-clots]. * Kidney stones [https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15604-kidney-stones]. * Liver disease [https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17179-liver-disease], such as cirrhosis [https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15572-cirrhosis-of-the-liver] and primary sclerosing cholangitis (bile duct inflammation). * Malabsorption [https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22722-malabsorption] and malnutrition [https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22987-malnutrition] (inability to get enough nutrients through the small intestine). * Osteoporosis [https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/4443-osteoporosis]. * Perforated bowel [https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/23478-gastrointestinal-perforation] (hole or tear in the large intestine). * Toxic megacolon [https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/23481-toxic-megacolon] (severe intestinal swelling). How can you support someone with IBD? [https://crohnsandcolitis.org.uk/info-support/information-about-crohns-and-colitis/all-information-about-crohns-and-colitis/supporting-someone/a-guide-for-friends-and-family] Some ways to support someone with IBD is to: * Be there to listen * Don't judge what they eat * Be understanding if they can't make an event * Try to find the funny side * Make them feel comfortable opening up to you about potentially embarrassing symptoms * Remember that there is no cure and it is not the same as IBS Great social support can work wonders to help reduce a person's stress and pain levels. ------------------------- Sources: * https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15587-inflammatory-bowel-disease-overview [https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15587-inflammatory-bowel-disease-overview] * https://www.cdc.gov/ibd/what-is-IBD.htm [https://www.cdc.gov/ibd/what-is-IBD.htm] * https://crohnsandcolitis.org.uk/info-support/information-about-crohns-and-colitis/all-information-about-crohns-and-colitis/supporting-someone/a-guide-for-friends-and-family

Some thoughts and feedback on improving the site.
Site Updates / by SilentSerenityy
Last post
 July 23rd, 2022
...See more Here are just some thoughts and ideas I have: * Make it easier to save listeners you've found that you feel best support you. Maybe it could be as simple as starring the conversation so the conversation stays permanently or the listener is kept recorded somewhere so the member can find them much easier. Or it could show a star for the member when they view a listener, or see them in a group chat, so they know that they were a listener they liked/worked well with. * The notepad feature is a good idea, but it would be better if it was inbuilt somewhere during the chat. It's a pain having to find it, open it up, sort out your folders of info etc. It would be great if it was 'attached' to the member, so whenever they messaged you, even if a previous conversation was deleted, the notes remain. I was thinking maybe incorporating a notepad button in the chat window. * As I've recently graduated in Psychology, it would be cool if there was some kind of role/badge that could indicate that someone is a Psych graduate (with proof to 7 Cups ofc). This of course wouldn't mean that we're therapists or offer therapy, but I know some members take comfort in knowing they're talking to someone who's got that qualification. Let me know what you think!

Very thoughtful
She was just a great friend, thanks alot for being here with me.
Seren's the best listener I've had so far and I've experienced quite a few on here. My experience with her reinforces why 7Cups is such a great resource to people looking to work through their problems. Seren helped me walk through the confusing thoughts I had about limerence. She was kind, attentive, non-judgemental, light-hearted and had amazing insight into what I was sharing with her. That was exactly what I needed to get some clarity and come up with a game plan to deal with my problems. She's awesome! Highly recommend her and would definitely talk to her again if I needed to. 10/10🔥🔥
So helpful and kind. Really made me feel better about everything!

Hannah was really supportive and kind. She made me feel much better. She has a non-judgemental demeanor and says out what could help you to get over problems. She felt very happy when I said I felt better. Seems to be the sort that finds happiness in making others hapy.
