Make your lives extraordinary." ― Robin Williams "Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” ― Mahatma Gandhi ''It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.'' ― Fight Club "Attachment leads to jealousy, the shadow of greed, that is...Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose." ― Yoda "Respect their journey" ― Someone wiser than me “When people talk, listen completely.

“What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor, and more unashamed conversation.” – Glenn Close 👑👑👑 “Mental health…is not a destination, but a process. It’s about how you drive, not where you’re going.” – Noam Shpancer ❤️❤️❤️ “Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary.” – Fred Rogers ✨✨✨ “Some of the most comforting words in the universe are ‘me too.’ That moment when you find out that your struggle is also someone else’s struggle, that you’re not alone, and that others have been down the same road.”

Hola soy Monica una oyente aqui para apoyarle. Puede hablar sobre de lo que esta en su mente.  Hello, I'm MonicaQu a listener glad that you came across my profile and more than welcome to message me.  I am able to talk to teens as I teach 15 and 16 years old. Also I can talk about most topics with adults about  anxiety, relationship problems, school problems just to name a few. I am able to talk about sex related topics but with not too much information. All other topics I'm fine with such as chats on Bipolar, depression and issues to do with Weight Management and Eating Disorders as I have family members who deal with these. You can message me offline to make an appointment . I'm free most weekends during the day or night and sometimes around 5pm until 6pm on Monday to Thursday. Or else you can send me daily messages telling me about your days. In my chats, I usually can talk for 40 minutes then continue another day and talk to only one person at a time. Listening to you, means a lot as I know some things you can't go to a friend or family member that it is easier to do where you are anonymous.  In my chats, you can expect a non-judgemental place and feel like you are talking to a friend.  I can take chats in English or Spanish.   For listeners,  I am a teen/adult listener and have been a member since 2014 so you can come to me for any problems or if you want to refer a chat you can tell them my username.  You can find me in Listener Support Room, or High School Room for teens. I am also part of the Spanish Speaking group so if you come across a Spanish speaker or you are a Spanish speaker yourself, send me a message. :)   Some cool information about me : I'm an Anthropologist and study Spanish at university. I have been in Ecuador for 3 and a half years now. I'm originally from New Zealand.  I have been involved in a variety of projects like the : Red Cross, Refugee Service and I am a yellow ambassador where students at my school could come to me to talk a bit like 7cups but in real life.  I really like coffee and like to use Stumbleupon as it interests me to see what random page I come across. I also like to destress by going to rumba (dancing latin rhythms at the gym)  

Sorry not accepting member chats at this time other than regular members that I listen to.

Understanding what depression is begins the journey toward recovering from depression. You may not realize that depression symptoms are not just emotional. Depression is much more than a low mood, feeling sad, and being irritable. There are cognitive (e.g., self-criticism and hopeless thoughts), behavioral (e.g., isolating from others and having difficulty ’getting started’ with activities), and physical (e.g., sleep problems and change in appetite) symptoms as well. The mind and body are very much connected, and the way that depression affects someone demonstrates that strong connection. Learn more about what depression is by reading the Depression Guide on 7 Cups of Tea’s website. You can also talk to someone about your experience of depression by requesting to chat with one of our listeners.Millions of people suffer from depression everyday?

Hey! It’s generouswings this side. I’m 19-year old who is really passionate about helping people with mental health issues.👩🏻‍🎓 One of my main goals in life is to take different volunteering activities and bring change into people’s life in a positive way, and keep everyone around me happy. I believe that we all are going through struggles, and in this process, if we can help each other in bringing the best out of ourselves, then we can actually make this world a better place to live in.🦋 Here's a good song for you!  https://youtu.be/BFkTu8Y1KLs You’re entering a safe zone. I’m so proud of you since you wanna help yourself. I won’t judge or criticise. You can be completely open with me, and I’ll listen to you and support you, no matter what :) I’ve had my own share of struggle through various issues, and I’ve been able to be victorious. I hope I can help you too.🌷 Remember that you’re not alone, and I’m always there for you. You are loved, and your well being matters.🫂 Lots of love <3  Listeners- I’m really proud of you and your work. You’re doing a great job for the sake of humanity. But there’s a time when we all need a helping hand or a friend to confide feelings to. Please feel free to message me if you need. Or just to talk to someone.🌸 Members- You can drop a text anytime. If you don’t receive a reply, then probably I’m busy with my studies (since I’m a student). I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.💕 My accomplishments on 7 cups- •Verified listener- I joined 7 cups with the only motive of helping people in need, mentally and emotionally. But my journey on 7 cups has been a lot more than that. Within two weeks of joining, I became a verified listener. If any listener feels any guidance regarding the mock chat, please feel free to get in touch with me. Although there are mentors who are specially trained for the same, but I guess my experience would help you too, in feeling less nervous at least.💛 •Intern graduate with Honors- I loved active listening and 7 cups, and I wanted to be a bit more active on this platform, so I did the internship. I spent 13 weeks; from November 2020 to February 2021 in active listening and spent over 170 hours throughout the internship. It was an amazing experience! I got the opportunity to talk to the founder too, which was the best part of it. •Adult-Teen listener- It was during my journey on 7 cups that I transitioned into an adult. Hence, I became an adult listener. But I loved listening to teens as well, since I felt more connected with them (I’m a teenager myself too xD). So I applied to become an ATL, and after documentation and a small interview, I became one. I’m really glad to be a part of this platform, and I hope that I can make you feel the same too. 🌻 Looking forward to talk to you.✨

Hey. So I am a young(ish) female. I have been surrounding by the LGBT a community my whole life but I am only an ally. I am a child of addiction but I don’t let that define me, I work every day to push past the cards I was given and con the table. I’m sarcastic but very loving and empathetic and when it’s deserved sympathetic... I’ll be sure to tell you the difference. I work in northern Canada and I don’t always have WiFi, that being said I am not always available to talk but i am assertive and care.
