Need to talk to someone?

More Filters

It can sometimes be difficult to find support from family members, friends, or like minded people. While you might have a best friend or a support system and network such as groups on social media, you might want to seek support without any social interaction.

Our listeners provide emotional support through active listening. Active listening helps process your emotional distress. The following page can be filtered to seek listeners who provide long-term help and support. You can also browse listeners according to your preferred language as well as for different topics amongst other filters.

7 Cups is a chat site/app that has different options to find a good listener. You can meet new people and text chat with other individuals going through tough times - you are not alone! Everyone goes through a hard time at some point in their lives and we are here for you. Whether you are facing relationship problems, panic attacks, struggling with substance abuse, loneliness, depression, anxiety, or any other mental health issue, our site/app is a safe space based on confidential, anonymous support.

A good idea is to consider what form of support you would like in the first place - we have plenty of options to explore and one of the best ways is to give them a try to find out what works for you. We understand that different people have different needs and preferences. All these support services are appropriate for different situations.

This page can help you seek a trained active listener to talk to through 1-on-1 conversations. These listeners come from different walks of life and all are ready to offer a compassionate listening ear to people who would like to talk to someone else. You can select their username to view their detailed profile page with their shared bio and other information such as whether they have lived experience of mental health conditions or topics, their reviews, as well as their training and other badges. While our listeners do not provide direct advice, their support can help you vent your feelings and concerns in a safe space and you can work together to figure out healthy coping tools.

Listener conversations can vary in duration according to your listener's and your personal availability. Some listeners have the option to schedule chats with them in advance. You can always browse for listeners and leave them a message so that they can get back to you with their availability.

There are several other ways you can find someone to talk to at 7 Cups. These include the group chats and subcommunities. We are glad you are taking the first step towards support!

Our group chat rooms are online chat rooms that serve as different support groups where you can send text messages 24/7. We are a global community with people from all over the world. Some chat rooms include the Sharing Circle room, which is a non-judgemental safe space based on the traditions of AA and similar support groups. This space can prove helpful if you need a group of people to talk to who can listen and get to know you over a long time. Sharing your feelings and experiences as well as listening to those of others can help feel supported. You can expand your support network and make online supportive friends and connections!

On the other hand, if you would like to interact with people and talk to someone over forums, we have dedicated subcommunities for over 45+ topics covering a wide range of mental illness support topics through various sub-forums. Our subcommunities provide support, awareness, events, as well as opportunities to participate in light-hearted icebreakers.

Apart from the above mentioned mental health services at 7 Cups, we have affordable therapy options allowing you to seek online therapy for mental health problems with an online therapist, licensed psychologist, and other mental health professionals. This support is affordable as compared to other online and offline services or other options like support through insurance companies. Therapists are also available to talk to throughout the week on working days.

While our community can help support you after you have lost someone else to suicide, 7 Cups is not to be used in the state of active/passive suicidal thoughts - for such cases, please visit helpful resources such as the Samaritans or National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. For a complete list of helpful resources, click here.

If you would like to gain further insight and helpful information about different mental health topics, you can visit our Community Questions and Answers pages, or read our Expert Mental Health News and Advice articles. Other main features you can explore include our self-help guides and growth paths based on treatment protocols available for free!

The bottom line is, you are never alone - 7 Cups is a community aiming to provide compassion on a global scale. There are various ways to talk to someone at 7 Cups. These include 1-on-1 conversations based on active listening and support through trained listeners, group chats with support discussions and Sharing Circles, and the subcommunity forums. Other features that you may find helpful include the growth paths, community questions and answers, as well as expert advice sections.

Hey everyone. Life can throw a volley of things at you when your most vulnerable. Being a verified listener I can give in my best efforts to share my knowledge and experience with those in need of help with relationships, anxiety, depression, ocd and break ups. Remember 'you are not alone'.  "The woods are lonely dark and deep.  I have miles to go before i sleep. " P. S : I don't take requests for suicide, self harm, sexual issues,LGBTQ, bipolar, PTSD AND BPD. But i am always open to casual and intellectual talks. :)

 Hello! My name is Heather and helping others has always been a passion of mine. When I accept 1-on-1 chats, I mainly accept loneliness & anxiety chats as those two topics I have much life experience in.  Unfortunately, mental health care is expensive and I understand the struggle. Even though I volunteer and can't provide any advice or solutions, I want members to feel at ease knowing they have someone who cares and will listen and not have to stress about paying a professional.  Online Activity: Tuesdays Wednesdays Thursdays  I do not accept sexual health or inappropriate chats.   I do accept casual chats  Availability 1 on 1 chat: occasionally accept chats as I work 5/6 days a week.

Hello my lovelies! !! I CANNOT HELP WITH RELATIONSHIP ISSUES!! My main topics I can provide support: * Depression * Anxiety * Self harm * Panic attacks * Family issues I'm here to provide you with safe and confidential space. You can be honest and straight-forward with me and I will listen to you about anything that's been on your mind.  You can speak to me about any topic that's been in my categories, you can also set up a chat with me when I'm online.  I'm here for you when you're alone, I'm here for you when you feel nervous, I'm here for you if you're going through a tough time, I'm here for you if you need a friend to support you.  ------------------------- You are an amazing human being and you deserve to be helped.  Some quotes: You don't have to be positive all the time. It's perfectly okay to feel sad, angry, frustrated, scared, or anxious. Having feelings doesn't make you a 'negative person.' It makes you human It's okay to ask for help. It's okay to talk about your feelings. It's okay to take time for yourself. Your mental health matters. You are strong for surviving your toughest days. You are wise for choosing to heal and grow. You are loved for being you. Remember that. For conclusion., I just want to remind you that it's totally cool to reach out for help and to tackle things one step at a time. Every little win, every bit of progress, no matter how small it may seem, shows how strong and determined you are on the inside. You're not going through this alone, and there are people who genuinely care about you and are ready to be there for you as you go along.

Have you ever noticed the secret and quiet places that hide the most gentle beauty? This is my quest: to listen. Since I found out that they hide within each and every person I had the honor to meet. Ever since I can remember I have suffered. But during an internal journey in which I tried to remain silent and listen, I noticed how my diary entries were slowly changing. The level of self-harm and depression dropped. But far beyond that, the level of distress of the people around me has dropped and been replaced by healthy conversations, replaced by the seek for the hidden gentle beauty. I'm not a magician, and I never spread promises, but as someone who knows suffering, if I can help even a little, I'm grateful.

I don't really know what to say, except that I'm happy to help, that's why I'm here. I'm not the most qualified person to ask for help (yet), but I'm studying social work, so I'm getting there (hopefully)! I do my best to be kind, patient, understanding, and to not judge anyone. Life gets hard for us all sometimes, but with some help and compassion we will get through it <3 Thanks for all the incredibly kind reviews, they really mean a lot to me :)
