Tough questions..
What is your favourite thing about 7 cups?
That it offers real help for things like depression. It's so frustrating when you search online for help and you get sites that say 'Get exercise, hang out with friends, etc.', or worse, shower you with motivational sayings that basically say you can snap out of it with the right mindset. Here there are real resources and better yet, listeners. It's a place that says, you can do it, but you don't have to do it alone.
What is your favourite thing to do for self-care?
Reading or watching a tv series with my dog curled up next to me.
What is your favourite book/ movie?
Books: To Kill a Mockingbird, The Autobiography of Malcolm X, Cancer Ward, The Little Prince, And The Band Played On, Everything is Illuminated... too many to count.
Movies: Cinema Paradiso, Life is Beautiful, The Red Violin, Okuribito, Little Miss Sunshine, Pleasantville... also too many to name
What coping mechanisms would you suggest to this community?
Understand that everyone needs somebody's help at times. It is a sign of strength to ask for it. Whether it's family, friends, professional help or a listener at 7 cups, reach out when things feel confusing or like too much.
If you could own any animal what would it be and why?
I wouldn't trade my dog for anyone or anything in the world.
If you could go anywhere in the world where would it be and why?
Somewhere quiet with mountains.
Cookies or Icecream?

to fly or teleport that way I could teleport to Mexico without paying high airline tickets 😂

Oooh this is hard because I'm not a huge book or movie fan! I love anything by Cathy Glass (she's a foster carer who write real stories - and as a student social worker its super interesting and helpful!) and also Heathers
What coping mechanisms would you suggest to this community?
I think going out for a walk can be really helpful, if that is something you enjoy. I can often find it helps my thoughts slow down in the moment and often by time I've gone out for a walk I find my thoughts more managable. It won't work for everyone but may for some!
If you could own any animal what would it be and why?
A dogggg!! I love dogs so much, and to be honest I love all animals but sadly my mum isn't a huge fan so we've never had a pet! I'd also love a hamster and am considering getting one in the near future!
If you could go anywhere in the world where would it be and why?
I'd love to go back to Nashville. I feel like I was made to belong there aha! Basically anywhere in america is a place I love and enjoy, I feel truly happy there - Nashville in particular was amazing because I am a huge fan of Country Music, and the town Nashville so those two combined made it the perfect place!
