[Listeners] Farewell/Taking a Break/Returning Thread: Send Your Regards
by MonBon
Last post
 20 hours ago
...See more This is the public support counterpart of this thread [http://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenersOnlyForums_38/ListenerSelfCare_95/FarewellTakingaBreakReturningThreadSendYourRegards_4132/1/] [L] so that listeners can let the whole community know if they are leaving or if they have come back. Below excerpt taken and modified from the original thread: Some Listeners decide, at one point or another, to take a break or in special cases to leave the site as a Listener. During their time here they may have made connections with others in the community and sometimes people aren't aware that they have left or are misinformed and thus never get the opportunity to sent their warm wishes. Thus, this thread is meant for Listeners to inform the community that they are leaving or taking a break and leave their appropriate comments for others to read. Moreover, returning Listeners can post here as well to inform the community that they are active again. Returning to 7 Cups after a break? We have a welcome Back Committee now, you can find information here [https://www.7cups.com/forum/ListenerLearningJourney_149/WelcomeZone_2385/WelcomeBackCommittee_295611/] (clickable), and reach out. Your peers and mentors are here for you. <3 Lastly, others in the community can send their regards to these Listeners. [L] indicates a Listeners Only thread [Welcome back committee information added by Sunisshiningandsoareyou, 02/10/23]

...See more Any new member of the NAMI Community who introduces themselves and takes the NAMI Oath will receive the NAMI Oath Badge. Please copy, paste, sign and date the following NAMI Oath within this thread: NAMI Oath I pledge a moral oath before my fellow active listeners, 7 Cups members and NAMI supporters. I pledge to help support NAMI's mission and to dedicate myself to building better lives for anyone affected by mental illness. I pledge to always try my best to be a positive influence and make a difference in the lives of others. I pledge to be #stigmafree and respectful of anyone who may be experiencing a mental health challenge. I will educate, advocate and listen to others' experiences without judgment or bias. I will encourage acceptance and understanding. When I see that someone needs more than the peer support I can provide, I will refer them to professional help and appropriate resources. I pledge to make my own self-care a priority and recognize when I need to take extra time to take care of my own mental health. I will keep these promises and I will do everything in my power to promote mental health, healing, and wellness within myself, my fellow members and my world. I believe that no one should face mental illness alone and I pledge to provide peer support to anyone who reaches out to the NAMI Community for help. Signed: Date:

Long-term Listener Request
by JustSomeKSGirl
Last post
 August 13th
...See more I am reaching out in an effort to find a listener to help me as I overcome the grief of infertility. My husband and I have reached a point where we are no longer actively trying to conceive after almost seven years of no success and fighting many health issues. The grief of letting go of my dream to be a mother is quite devastating and triggers my severe depression. I am hoping I can find a kind, spiritual soul to help me along in my journey as I try to make it through the process of letting go. Thank you. ♥

Searching for Siren

...See more Hey, I'm sorry if this is not a good place to do this. If anyone can suggest a better place to look, I would appreciate it. I lost access to my old account, which is a problem because I had a member I had scheduled to talk to today. Does anyone know how to message a member you have the username of? Alternatively, I would call this member siren as an siren's actual username was really long Siren, if you see this, I am sorry for not messaging you today like I had said I would. Please reply here. Thank you
Talking Deep
by OptimisticBirch
Last post
 June 13th
...See more I saw someone posted something like this few days(or weeks) ago and thought about the same thing. Will it be fine for me to ask for a listener who can talk in depth with me? About everything. About the universe, the cloud, the sky, the world. About humanity, about anything. I'm well aware with the 'Browse Listener' options but I just felt that if I were to use that options and the listener is not the one that can keep up with the conversation. I just felt that I'll be wasting their time, the time that they can spend to focus more on people who they can help more. I'm not in need of urgent help or anything like that. Maybe I just want someone to talk to in a lengthy discussion about a lot of things. Listeners or members are welcomed :D Who knows I might find my twin because of this post :3

...See more I'm really struggling with figuring stuff out right now, I'm bisexual and I really like this girl (I'm a girl btw) but I've been told my whole life that being gay is wrong and I don't know how my parents would react (I mean, I know it would be badly but I don't know if they'd just send me to therapy or kick me out of the house) I just need encouragement because this is really hard for me
Looking for stand-in long-term listener
by cloudySummer
Last post
 April 22nd
...See more Hi all, my long-term listener is currently on a break, with no fixed return date, so I'm looking for someone to help me out in the mean time. I'm specifically looking for a mostly reliable, honest, verified listener who listens to people older than 35, from EU or US (it would make me feel ashamed asking for support from someone who is less privileged, please don't take this wrong ...), in either English or German. My problems revolve around trust, relationships, social anxiety, self-worth and (the biggest of all) avoidance. I enjoy gardening 🌱 and creative things 👩‍🎨, know a lot about software 💻, and nature 🐦. When I feel relaxed enough, I can be quite witty and funny 🤪. Unreliability scares me 😨. I have an extremely low tolerance to people not being honest with me 😥, but I will always let you know and try to clear up a misunderstanding first. I do not ask much, if anything, about a listener's personal life. I'm also not looking for offsite contact or inappropriate chats (just saying 🤓). (irony mode on) So, if that doesn't sound attractive ✨, I don't know what else would... (irony mode off). Please pm me 💬 if you think you could help. And if you can't help yourself, but know someone who could, it would be cool if you could let them know about this classifieds thread here.
