If my status is yellow and/or I do not respond to your message after a while, it likely means I am in another chat at the moment. I will reach out to you again and apologize if this is the case.

Hi, my name's Rue and I am here to support anyone and everyone who needs help. A lot of the world suffers alone and is scared to ask for help, so if you are reading this, I am proud of you for taking the first step. I believe that anyone, no matter race, gender, sexuality, or political beliefs, deserves to have their voice heard and met with kindness and empathy, and I find it heartbreaking how cruel people can react to a cry for help. I hope to reach as many people as I can and make sure that they feel seen.

I am usually online from around 4pm PST to 10pm PST. If you send me a message outside of these hours, I will likely only respond between these times. I also take some time to respond as I don't get notifications for messages. I appreciate your patience.

I am LGBTQ+, neurodivergent, and a child abuse survivor, so I have a lot of experience with emotional and psychological abuse and prejudice (ESPECIALLY ableism). However, I am here to help with any of the topics listed in my profile. I hope I am able to brighten up your day however I can, and remember that you are always worth love, kindness and respect.
