I am a trained and Verified Listener here to support you and listen to whatever you need to talk about without the fear of being judged or ridiculed.

Chat's I CANNOT take!

(topics underlined are links to 7 Cups Self Help Guides)

Bipolar, Chronic Pain, Disabilities, Panic Attacks, Perinatal Mood Disorder <- I'm glad to take any chat, but I'm not good in these fields at all.

In addition 7 Cups also offers Quick & Easy Meditation Guides for both Beginners and Advanced Meditation Practices.

Languages
I'm fluent in English and American Sign Language.

I've been learning Spanish for several years and have even completed the Spanish course on Duolingo. I'm not fluent; I can have a conversation but I'm still practicing and learning.

How To Post To Your Feed!

...See more I've received quite a few questions of various people asking me. "How do you post in the feed?" So hopefully this post will help newcomers to 7 Cups learn how to post to your feed To post to your feed you can click on Community > Feed [https://www.7cups.com/listener/feed.php] - 7cups.com/listener/feed.php Editor Background: So first off, 7 Cups is using the CKEditor [http://ckeditor.com/] (v4.5.7 at the time of posting) which is a free and open source [https://github.com/ckeditor/ckeditor-dev/blob/master/LICENSE.md] library that makes it significantly easier to add rich text content into your posts without writing any line of code. These type of editors are called WYSIWYG Editors. WYSIWYG stands for "What You See Is What You Get". Some popular examples are Microsoft Office [https://www.office.com/], Google Docs [https://docs.google.com/], ProseMirror [http://prosemirror.net], LibreOffice [https://www.libreoffice.org/], etc: Here's a screenshot of the 7 Cups editor: [http://imgbox.com/5ONIJ0vJ.png] Mostly it's pretty self-explanatory to use but if you've never used one before hopefully this post will help you learn how to use it. How To Use: - Press "Enter" to insert a new paragraph. - Press "Shift+Enter" to insert a line break aka new line. SCAYT [http://ckeditor.com/addon/scayt]: Spell Check As You Type Personally, I prefer using a tool called Grammarly [https://www.grammarly.com] as it instantly checks for 250 types of grammatical, spelling, and punctuation mistakes. Which is recommended by PCMag [http://www.pcmag.com/], Gizmodo [http://gizmodo.com/], Forbes [http://www.forbes.com/], and others. Simply type what you want to say and if you want something "marked up", simply select the text and click..... to make it bold (CTRL+B/ or ⌘+B) to make it italic (CTRL+I/ or ⌘+I) to make it underline (CTRL+U/ or ⌘+U) to make it a link [https://www.google.com/#q=do+a+barrel+roll] (CTRL+L/ or ⌘+L) [http://imgbox.com/A048VGlw.png] to change the size of the text. Left will change the text's color; right will change it's background color. [http://imgbox.com/xGauy6w6.png] Inserting an image: There're a few ways you can insert an image. The easiest way is by selecting an image and pasting it into the app (requires the copied image to be hosted on an online server or by copying an embedded image which uses DataURI [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Basics_of_HTTP/Data_URIs] to display the image instead of a server. (DataURI [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Basics_of_HTTP/Data_URIs] is basically just the raw image data being displayed on the website). Another way to embed an image into the editor is by clicking on Which will display the following dialog... [http://imgbox.com/2e337a2K.png] First, you will need to add the image's URL. There're many ways to grab an image's URL that already hosted. The most common way is by right clicking and "copying the image location". You can either use a site like imgbox [http://imgbox.com/] to host your image or you can convert the image to DataURI [http://dopiaza.org/tools/datauri/index.php] and embed the raw image data instead [http://dopiaza.org/tools/datauri/index.php]. Remember people view the site on many devices from small phones to desktops. What I like to do if I'm working with a large image is after I add the image URL I set the image's width to 100% that way people that are using phones will be able to see the image better. In addition, I also like to give the user an option to hyperlink to see the full image (much faster than grabbing the image source). Hyperlinking an image: Now that you know how to add an image how do you hyperlink it? It's actually very easy! Select the image in the editor and click on or press CTRL+L or ⌘+L (for mac users). You will then go through the same process as before for adding a link. Once the image is hyperlinked you will see a border around the image inside of the editor. However, when you double-click on the image you will only be prompted for the image source. To change the hyperlink URL you will have to select the image in the editor again and click on or press CTRL+L or ⌘+L (for mac users). Inserting a smiley: You can insert a smiley/emoji by inserting an image like as previously discussed or you can use the built-in smileys in the editor by clicking on the button. Which will open the following smileys..... The smiley you click will be added to the editor and that dialog will close. I hope this little tutorial helped you understand more of how to use the editor and of course how to post to your feed.

Thank you for being nice and sharing your story! Michael really took the time to listen to what I had to say. He didn't judge me, but was more empathetic. He shared his own experience with me and really helped me feel better. Thank you so much :)
Fantastic listener! He expressed empathy, helped me understand my emotions better and helped me view the situation in another perspective. I went from being scared to being happy. Thank you so much :)
Listener was adamant about being on top of listening and providing concerns to helping me get through extra extra frustration (incurred by other listeners as well as life) and diligent about seeing things through, and thoroughly understanding. Couldnt recommend more.
a truly fantastic listener with all the qualities of humanity and understanding
thx
