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.

🌸 WELCOME! 🌸 I'm an experienced verified listener who is open minded, non-judgemental and I'm open to almost all topics. All I ask is that you respect my boundaries, such as my time constraints and/or my statuses (see at the bottom of bio). Whilst I support the topic of sexual health, this does not mean I am comfortable discussing kinks/fetishes, nor will I partake in anything of that nature either.  I cannot replace the role of a therapist/psychologist. If you feel that you need more support for your mental health condition or require advice, please reach out to a licensed professional. I am not able to support you during a crisis. If you feel you're experiencing a crisis, please contact a helpline here - https://www.7cups.com/crisis/ 🌸 AVAILABILITY 🌸 My time zone is GMT / BST. I am available to live chat for up to an hour at a time. I am open to arranging a time to chat if you'd like to chat for longer though! I work and am disabled, so my availability can vary quite a lot, which is why I'm much better at providing one off, short term support. However, I am happy for you to reach out to update me on what's been happening since we last spoke.  🌸 ABOUT ME  🌸 I'm in my late twenties, I have a cat who I adore and I spend a lot of my free time watching movies, cross stitching and playing video games. I live with multiple health conditions which makes life a little more challenging, but it means I can relate to members who are disabled or are living with chronic health conditions.   🌸 STATUSES 🌸S Online  I'm open to chatting/helping anyone, including listeners who might need some help with listening. Feel free to message me. Busy  You can request to chat, but I may not reply to your message or request, as I may be busy with other roles or helping others in chats.  Offline  I'm offline, having a self-care break, taking scheduled chats, supporting/hosting group discussions or unavailable to take personal requests. If I'm in a chatroom, please ask to send me a message. Being in a chatroom doesn't mean I'm available to take a 1-1 chat.

abuse survivor, addiction survivor, depression survivor, college grad, anti-diva, peer supporter, voice of the voiceless, and no I don't need to smile more. :)   Not taking chats atm.                                                                                        Hi there :)  My name is Sari. Its nice to meet you on 7 cups of tea. I consider myself a good listener.  I never would have ever expected I would become a Listener or someone that could help others but I have struggled and fought throughout my life that I feel I can give encouragement to those in need. Here at 7Cups im learning a lot about being selfless and compassionate. Because i wasn't always the person I am now and I still have a long ways to go. I used to be a selfish, conceited, arrogant and a uncaring person who walked around with an attitude thinking I was too cute and was just lazy and unmotivated. I picked up a lot of bad habits, hung around with the wrong type of people, gave my heart to and trusted the wrong type of men, and made a lot of mistakes and regrets. Then life gave me a reality check. And since I have fought to change my life. I've become somewhat of an anti diva. Now I want to help those struggling with depression, anxiety, abuse, addiction, relationship issues, break ups, and loneliness. Im passionate about these issues because I too suffer from them and know all too well how insidious it is to live with. I was diagnosed with bipolar and anxiety disorder when I was 17. I also suffer from a stomach disorder. A severe, painful and untreatable abdominal condition. None of these issues have taken away from my quality of life. Nor has deterred me from all of my dreams and desires. I know I dont smile a lot but I am generally a very happy and positive person but I have been there, been through it and have overcome a lot. I am a better, stronger, and a more responsible person because of my struggles. I understand that nothing in life will ever come easy. Nothing in life that is easy is worth having. Life owes us nothing. We cannot sit idle wishing things were different. We must fight for the things we desire each and every day. You only lose when you quit. You only fail when you refuse to get up and keep going. And that is all ive ever done in my life. Sometimes something terrible happens and splits your life in two. Theres a before, and a after. For some, like me, there are many splits. A scar on your body. Scars in your mind. These splits are meant for only two purposes. To destroy you, or to make you stronger. And if you use it right.. take all that hurt and pain, and use it constructively, it makes you better. Gives you a new power, a sharper vision, a thicker skin, and a resilient mind. That is what having your heart ripped out does. It shows you what is on this inside. What you and I are made of. And if you use it, you become unbreakable. Please feel free to connect with me if im online. Always stay strong and never give up. We are all greater than what ails us.                                                                                ***Note: I am bi-sexual but I do not engage in any sexually related conversations or issues legitimate or otherwise. And please do not ask me for personal contact information. Thank you.   *** Important: Also my LISTENER TWIN is @Letmehelpyou210. She is as important to me as some of you members feel I am to you. Shes a wonderful and amazing listener and if ever I am on break I would definitely recommend ther. Just think of her as a better version of me. ;) She is like a sister to me, great friend, and awesome person.   "Only when my eyes have adjusted to the dark I can witness the splendor of the moon. Only when I have sat in the hopeless dark lost, the moon is my light and my guide. Even through the darkest days, the moon shines...... always."                                                                                       MOON BABY; a delicate and sacred being, sometimes furry. Moon babies are rumored to speak with high pitched hispanic accents when called upon properly. ;P

You must be the change you wish to see in the world. When you are not happy, try to make others happy and it just might make you happy. Love is necessary for a healthy life. We think to live a healthy life, just like food and water. I practice daily by loving everyone around me. Hatred grows more hatred, forgiveness brings love and peace. Nothing is impossible. The word itself says ‘I’m possible! Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

*PSA: I will always be here for you, but please respect my boundaries and message me from your member account if you want to have a L/M type of conversation.  This is so I can be the best listener I can be and so you can have my full attention. Thank you in advance, friend.* Hello, Stevie here. Welcome to 7cups! To start, I am very glad you found this website because it is 100% okay to not be okay at times. No matter what you're facing, no matter how big or small, it matters if it is beating you up inside. I just want you to know how BRAVE you are for making it this far and how proud you should feel for coming here to open up to a listener. I would love to help any way I am able, but I just want to remind you that I am not a licensed therapist. I prefer to not take requests for people who are facing sexual related difficulties or addiction, but there are many listeners who would be happy to and more experienced than I!
