Seeking A Long Term Listener
So I'm looking for a female long term listener who is available usually anywhere after 7 pm - 1 am US CST. Most of my issues are related to anxiety/panic attacks and depression, along with college/work stress, low self esteem, and the occasional family or friend problems (so yeah I'm loads of fun).
I'm looking for a listener who I can actually connect to and is nonjudgmental and empathetic. I've been on this site for a couple of weeks now and for the most part I was disappointed in the listeners I have received (from inappropriate comments, to snap judgements, to lack of response, I only really had 1 out of like 8 that was decent). I'm hoping that posting this classified might help.
Okay so a little about myself-I'm currently a college student applying for graduate school and this next year will be super stressful for me. I have been diagnosed with Depression and GAD and I do go to my therapist at the counseling center every two weeks and I will be seeing a psychiatrist at the end of the month to potentially give me medication. My parents and some friends do know about this but do have trouble truly understanding (they say things that are utterly unhelpful).
So I'm going to try to revive this thread just to see if maybe I can find a long-term listener
@FantasiaSweetShock, I'd be honored to help you if I can!
@FantasiaSweetShock - First of all would like to say I am sorry that your experience with 7 cups has not been so pleasant and welcoming for you. As a listener, I like my members to feel heard, understood, can help them stay focus and on track, work together through some strategies and options, referrals etc :)
I am a mother of 3 and also doing a undergraduate degree in social welfare so can relate to some of those you mentioned in your post :)
I would be more than happy to be your ongoing listener, please feel free to message me with a time & day that suits you best to confirm your happy to go ahead ! I look forward to hearing back from you.
@FantasiaSweetShock - forgot to mention, I would highly encourage you if you remember the listener/s you spoke with to report them directly to 7cups so that they are aware of what happened and can take it further for you.
@bubblyDreamer29 Thank you for your offer to be my listener and I'll keep that in mind. I actually posted this a while ago and I've been doing a lot better these days since I started meds. I might actually report a few of them if you think I should. If I'm having troubling days I'll definitely contact you
