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.

"Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light". - J.K. Rowling Happy and sad are perpetual feelings and we all are born with it, there is no escaping from it. When you feel sad, remember this feeling is a part of you, and only a small part of your life. Its Okay. It's okay if your parents didn't understand you. That fight with your sibling disturbs you. Or your friend made a joke that hurt you. Remember, people you grow up with, they have your best interest, even when it seems twisted. It's okay if you feel you've no one to tell a funny story to, to not have a friend over for a sleepover, to not have a 3 am bestie. Keep a journal, fill this emptiness with your creativity. Or sleep through your problems. I get it if you're tired of being a nice friend who listens to everyone's problem. You don't owe your life to people you spend your time with. You can just be with yourself and listen to your favorite songs or watch the movie which is your guilty pleasure. It's okay if they didn't text back. Try not to overthink things. Sometimes you got to be patient and give them space too. Even if it's your best friend or the person you like so much. Love doesn't always love you back. There is nothing wrong with you or them. You can only love someone so much. Sometimes, acceptance of rejection is all you need, to love again. Breakups are hard, for you and the other person too. Sometimes the person loosely coupled with you will easily move on, but you feel stuck. And you are not alone, almost every other half of the relationship has to go through this. You need to accept that to start the process of moving forward. It's okay if you couldn't complete that book you'd been excited about if you're lagging behind your studies or your career isn't going as you expected. You have disappointments and regrets. I get it, some things are eating you from within. Write about this feeling, write how you could endure it, and how you can win it over. Things suck, you fail, people leave but life goes on. Things get worse to get better, and then it'll get worse again. Your happiness didn't come to stay, neither your sadness. As they say, this too shall pass, as all things do. This world is a happy-sad place. We all are wanderers in this abyss, and Not all those who wander are lost. "It is beautiful, it is endless, it is full and yet seems empty. It hurts us" - Jackson Pearce “Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it’s yours.”  - Ayn Rand You're unique. No piece of literature can encapsulate you, your stories, or your feelings. You deserve to be heard. So, bring your stories, share your pain, and express your happiness, I'll listen. Let's start the ripple of kindness by hearing each other out. I am not a professional but I can try my best to make you feel heard. So, text me if you feel like talking. Watchlist: https://youtu.be/WPPPFqsECz0  For don't take chats related Sexual issues, Addiction or Infedility. Rest all are welcome to text.  Thanks for being here!!

When you look into infinity, you realize that there are more important things than what people do all day. ~ Bill Watterson Two possibilities exist: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not....both are equally terrifying. ~ Arthur c. Clarke Good things come to those who wait. So if nothing good is happening so far put little efforts and wait for result. :-)      I AM A VERIFIED LISTENER

I've had a lifelong interest in psychology, the science of happiness and well-being, the field of human potential, and the power of habits.  I've found that people usually have the answers they need, they just need a caring and non-judgmental ear to help them tap into their own wisdom. I'm focused on helping people untangle specific knots in their mind and resolve specific situations.  I'm not available for casual chats.

Hello there! I am a verified active Listener. You can call me "Sun'' or ''Earth" on 7 Cups 🌈 I am here for those who are looking for emotional support. Personally I have been through a lot in life and love. Finding the right people and the right resources like 7 Cups helped me overcome those trying times I am available 4-5 days a week (only on weekdays) between 3-6 pm (IST). But, I prefer to take one chat at a time to put all my focus on whosoever is looking for guidance and comfort💓 Topics which i am not comfortable with are intimacy, sexual health, pleasure etc. and persistent approach may result in blocking (sorry!).  I guess that's pretty much about me here as a Listener👂 Thank you for taking out your time to go through my profile. I wish you all the good health and peace ✨✨✨
