1) My response times are slow. Even when I am working on making them faster, if you talk with me please note there will be delays. Thank you for your patience and understanding. 2) I help myself when I help you. 3) I had a 7Cups Gmail e-mail address, but I deleted it from this Profile page on 06/Feb/2020 because it is NOT OK to publish it here. 4) Some issues with my Username: * 08/August/2019: On this day, I found out that "ThankYouForLettingMeTryingToHelp" should be instead ThankYouForLettingMeTryToHelp. It seems the first one is Grammarly incorrect in English. I am sorry for my mistake. Thank you for pointing it out, @Nada and @DestroyingAngel.  * 18/October/2019: On this day, a 7Cups Member told me this: "Your name is still incorrect. ThankYouForLettingMeTryingToHelp. We all know that if you are "trying" you are not doing. A man should not try his best, a man should do his best. Your name subconsciously sends a message that you will "try" which implies failure is the most likely outcome. ThankYouForLettingMeHelp would be much more appropriate and will send a positive message that you will help." * 14/November/2019: On this day, a 7Cups Member told me this: "Saying "trying to help" means you will do your best expecting nothing from those you encounter. The way your username is written seems perfect. To me it seems humble and that you know that not everyone can be helped." 5) Apart from being a Verified Listener and an Intern Graduate, my other roles on 7Cups are OR have been: * Safety Patrol (flagging of inappropriate Listener profiles) {2022.10.25} * Member of the DJ Team (leaded by @Caringbrit) {2022.10.25} * Community Leader: Room Supporter -> Healthy Living Support Community [https://www.7cups.com/home/healthyliving/]; 35 & Over Community [https://www.7cups.com/home/35plus/]; Positivity & Gratitude Community [https://www.7cups.com/home/gratitude/] {2022.10.25} * Forum Supporter {2022.10.25} * Peer Supporter {2022.10.25} 6) Some useful Links: (thank you @versatileStrings1578 for your help on the update of the list!!)

So after helping ppl find their own answers to their problems someone suggested me to go online and try to ease what little pain I can. Hope to help you to the best of my strength. Making you smile is my ultimate goal. I am also a peer supporter now, so feel free to ping me whenever you want after a hard chat or in general as well. Don't hesitate. I am always here for you.                And I have completed my internship at 7cups with honors.              

Hello! First of all, I want you to know exactly how brave you are to have reached out for support. I am here at 7Cups to support people struggling with bullying, self harm, family stress, self esteem, relationships, work stress and LBGTQ+ issues. How can I help you? Well, I've overcome a lot in life on the above issues - and most importantly I just want to help by really listening to you. I am a life coach and HR professional, and have a solid grasp on psychology, if not a degree in it. So if you need someone to listen to you and help you organize your thoughts and feelings, which can be hard to do on your own, then please feel free to start a chat. Glad you are here!

Ambassador Teen Advocate. Teen Only Zone Community Mentor Leader. I'm a doorkeeper so I can open/close rooms per request. Feel free to message me at any time. ------------------------- Thanks for stumbling into my profile :) It's very nice to see you! I'm Mel and I'm a young girl from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I'm a college student majoring in physics. I work as a support teacher for young kids mostly. I love teaching and explaining things - I think everybody deserves their chance at understanding a difficult matter, even if they need more time for it than someone else would.  I'm not much of a talker as a listener. I feel like it's very important that every single person out there has someone to rely on and be there for them. I want you to feel like you can tell me anything on your mind, feel heard, understood and never judged. That's what I aim for. I know I can't change your life nor magically solve your problems (Although I would really like to be able to do that) but I do can promise to be here, as much as possible and as much as you need. I'm your friend and I'll always care about you. I deal my own battles every day and I know that talking helps. You are never alone here. I would like to be a writer someday, because books mean a lot to me. Everything I want is what I write to be special for someone, if I could make at least one (only one) person feel something by something I wrote, I would already feel realized. Writing has always come naturally to me. It's who I am. As a kid, I would always grab a pencil and write, instead of drawing. I would always make stories up in my mind to tell other people. I would always write too much, speak too much, and take too long to tell an anecdote. I was born a storyteller. At the moment, I just do it for fun and for myself or my close ones. Anything else you would like to know about me, feel free to message me and ask, I'm pretty much an open book! and will love to get to know each other more. If you are around here and have any question or need someone to chat or you are a new listener and want a long term mentor to cheer on you and be happy for all your success - I'm your gal.  Much love, Mel. 

Hello Reader! My name is not very exciting, so you can call me Faith. I'm here to listen to all of you who feel, ignored, upset, or just downright awful. I cannot promise much but what I do guarantee is this; you will make it through. I'm experienced in many affairs of hardship and despair. Some, through my own personal experience, and others through an onlookers eyes. While my past may not have been a happy one, it has helped to make me who I am today and I am thankful that I now retain the prospect of hope. This is what I hope to pass on to some of you who are still traversing your way through the harder parts of life. If I am not proof that things get better, then I don't know what is.

Hello! I'm glad you've found me on 7 Cups of Tea. I'm a trained active listener and I like to support people struggling with mental health, relationships, addictions, grief and loss, lack of motivation, and trauma.

**I will be UNAVAILABLE until further notice & I sincerely apologize to anyone that is looking to have a 1-on-1 chat with me. Sending love and hugs your way!** Hello everyone and welcome to our lovely home, here at 7 Cups of Tea! I'm glad you decided to join us for whatever reason it may be! I just wanted to let you know that you are always welcome here and I know that I will never judge any of you. A little bit about myself: well, I was in depression for 7 Years and was able to overcome all of the negativity and hardships. During this time, I was also self-harming and addicted to various drugs/alcohol. There were tons of misdiagnoses. Oh, it was not a good time for anyone but I am here to tell you that things do get better! I was able to get out of my long-term depression and you can too! You can face and conquer any problem that comes about! I've been through a lot in life and faced many issues: depression, eating disorders, panic attacks, breakups, traumatic experiences, work-related stress, self-harm, sexual abuse, alcohol and drug abuse, bullying, family stress, phobias, and sleeping well! If you have anything on your mind at all, please do not hesitate to send me a message. Sending lots of love and very warm hugs your way. And never forget, I will always be here if you need me. Love you all so very much!

This is a test, a test to see if you are a human. Please note if something applies to you: Have you ever eaten a booger long past your childhood? Have you ever made a small, weird sound when you remembered something embarrassing? Have you ever purposely lower-cased the first letter of a text to come across as sad or disappointed? Have you ever ended a text with a period as a sign of aggression? Have you ever laughed or smiled when someone said something unpleasant to you, and you wondered the rest of the day why you reacted that way? Have you ever put on a pair of pants, and then realized much later that there was a loose sock smushed up against your thigh? Have you ever tried to guess someone else's password so many times that it locked their account? Have you ever had a nagging feeling that one day you will be discovered as a fraud? Have you ever hoped that there was some ability you hadn't discovered yet that you were just naturally talented at? Have you ever broken something in real life, and then found yourself looking for an "undo" button in real life? Have you ever marveled at how someone you thought was so ordinary could suddenly become so beautiful? Have you ever stared at your phone, smiling like an idiot while texting someone? Have you ever subsequently texted that person the phrase, "I'm staring at the phone, smiling like an idiot"? Have you ever been tempted to, and gave into that temptation, of looking through someone else's phone? Have you ever had a conversation with yourself, and then suddenly realized you're a terrible person to yourself? Has your phone ever run out of battery in the middle of an argument, and it sort of felt like the phone was breaking up with both of you? Have you ever thought that working on an issue between you and yourself was futile, because it should just be more natural than this, or this is supposed to happen just naturally? Have you ever realized that very little, in the long run, just happens naturally? Have you ever woken up blissfully, and suddenly been flooded by the awful remembrance that someone had left you? Have you ever lost the ability to imagine a future without a person that no longer was in your life? Have you ever looked back on that event with the sad smile of autumn and the realization that futures will happen, regardless? Congratulations, you have now completed and passed the test. You are human. Want to know who has the best 7 Cups profile? Click here [http://7cups.com/11840748]!
