About

My name is Sushmitha 

I’ve lived with depression and anxiety for most of my life, and that journey has taught me how deeply pain can shape a person. My purpose now is to truly listen — to be there for anyone who needs an honest, understanding ear

My Phase of Handling Pain, Depression and Anxiety

My Story

There were nights when I felt completely overwhelmed. At 2 a.m., when panic or anxiety hit, I couldn’t call a therapist — and I didn’t want to wake my best friend because I knew I’d feel guilty for disturbing her sleep. Therapy helped me during the day, but in those darkest hours, what I needed most was someone who could simply listen, right then and there. I learned that sharing my thoughts with a neutral stranger who didn’t carry my baggage or expectations — brought me real relief. Talking it out helped me calm down, see things more clearly, and take the next step. That’s when I realized:  - so many people today have so much to say, but so few truly listen. Most are waiting for their turn to speak. Some care but don’t have the time. Others are too emotionally attached, and we hold back because we don’t want to hurt or burden them.

                                  I’ve been where you are — now I choose to be the listener I once needed.

 

 

I want to be that rare listener — the kind of person you sometimes meet by chance in a public place, when you’re crying or venting, and a stranger comes to sit with you. They don’t owe you anything, but they let you cry, they hug you, they listen — simply because they know pain themselves, and they don’t want you to feel alone in yours.That’s the heart of I’ll Be Your Listener. My goal is to listen with empathy, respect, and presence, so you feel lighter, stronger, and understood.

Why not just talk to a friend?

 

They care, but they’re busy or distracted.

They may give advice when all you want is to be heard.

You might hold back because you don’t want to worry or burden them.

Their own feelings or attachment to you can cloud the conversation.
