TESTIMONIALS

September 3rd 2019

I’ve suffered with mental health issues for a while. As an adult model I have been stigmatised with the support I have been given previously. I had always been told that moving away from the industry would solve all my issues.
Thankfully, Pineapple support provided me with a therapist who has helped me in ways I couldn’t imagine and I’m so grateful. I am giving back to other performers by being a listener for Pineapple and helping support others like me who are missing out on stigma free care.

I’ve been using Pineapple Support for therapy and it has been AMAZING. Just another resource.
My therapist I got through there has been my rock. And the app they are connected to has some great resources as well.

Since growing up in a neglectful and abusive household depression and anxiety have always been a part of my life. Losing my own mother to suicide as a pre-teen put me into a deep state of self destruction that lasted years.
When I reached out to Pineapple and was received with love and support from leya and her team, I felt a new found feeling of support and love. A judgement free environment that not only allowed me to work out the issues I was having at that time, being cyber bullied, but to also begin the process of truly loving myself and moving forward after a childhood or trauma and hardship that my immature mind was too young to understand or process.
The unconditional support and care provided to the clients of pineapple is like nothing we’ve ever had or experienced before. Pineapple provides judgement free listeners and professional therapists who embrace who you are and what you do. They are there to help and I am beyond grateful to have found them.

I know with life, death happens, but i never wanted it to happen to my family or friends. I always dreaded the day that my grandmother would leave this world but never did I expect my mothers life to be taken before her own mothers. I am my mother’s only child and never ever did I think about losing her, more or less watching cancer slowly take her away from me or having rush home from Mexico to find her in a morphine induced coma to barely make it back in time to say my final farewells to her. I know she heard me and as I begged her not to leave me. I begged for forgiveness, I begged her to stay, I held her hand her last breath. I will never ever forget this moment and it will always bring tears!

If it wasn’t for Leya and the Pineapple support team and her truly compassionate team of listeners, i honestly don’t know how I would’ve coped with my first death, my mothers death, suffering and now my own internal suffering now and always. My Mother supported me in my adult work more so than anyone else in my life. I will forever be grateful for her allowing me to follow my dreams and support me in every way she could.

Altho I know others deal with death, I never thought I would have too and if it wasn’t for Pineapple support, I honestly don’t know if I would still be here. They gave me strength, the time, their time, their words of empowerment to keep going and that I was not and still am not alone.

I am comforted knowing Pineapple Support listenrs are there for me when I am feeling low, sad, alone, or depressed, and this is a godsend to me. Thank you for listening to me, even when it was simply the sound of tears being heard, just knowing someone cares about my well being gives me the strength to keep on doing what I love in the adult business.

To anyone having a tough day, week, year, whatever, you deserve support. You deserve to be heard. Please contact Pineapple Support to be connected with a therapist in your area that is non biased about sexwork and wants to help. You only have to pay what you can afford.

As someone who got connected with a therapist via Pineapple Support I promise it’s worth it. Therapy has helped me, so many of my friends, and I know it can help you 💜

I care about my mental health and my life and how I treat myself and others. Therapy is an amazing tool and I’m so fortunate to have access to it! Looking forward to my weekly appointment with my therapist who is both sex worker friendly and an actual sex worker. I love her.

I’ve been searching for adequate and affordable therapy for my mental health since I was a teenager, before I was even a sex worker. It was that much harder after. I’m so appreciative of everyone involved with this idea and privilege! ❤️

I love my therapist. What a relief. I’m so happy I finally found someone. 😭 Thank you so much @PineappleYSW for connecting me to her.

Bb’s, if you’re a SW who struggles with mental health of any kind once again I’d like to recommend Pineapple Support (@PineappleYSW ). I’ve been seeing my therapist they connected me with for almost a month and she’s drastically helping my mental state & entire life. Your services are appreciated. (& blue pearl therapy services specifically is an amazing provider) thank you😌

As you know, our income can vary and sometimes we don’t have insurance for traditional healthcare. Pineapple Support helps you find an affordable way for care. Plz. Reach out.

@PineappleYSW is here to help. I actually get my therapy via Pineapple. The sigma w/ this industry is no joke. That’s hardest aspect to deal with. Often many of us lead double lives bcuz many people in RL cannot separate or work from who we are. I’ve found @PineappleYSW is here to help. I actually get my therapy via Pineapple. The sigma w/ this ind understands our unique lifestyle & situations.

The general public doesn’t deal with situations like being “outed” in their community. Or the type of isolation a performer can feel. Even if I preach mental toughness getting help is part of it.

I am lucky to have found @PineappleYSW I suggest any one who needs help in the adult industry turn to them.
