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.

My door will always be open for you, as I am incredibly willing to help others! I have personal experience with anxiety, depression, parenting, low self-esteem and eating disorders however, I feel comfortable discussing many topics. Right now I am a mother and would love to help other moms in the future. Telling your personal story to a stranger can be quite terrifying and hard, but I am proud of all of you and that you have joined this amazing community. I love videogames, movies, music and going out for walks as they really help me relax. My favorite animals are cats. Please don't hesitate to talk to me, I will do my absolute best to support you! Feel free to leave a message and I will try to reply asap.  ( I highly appreciate reviews (both postive and negative) so that I can learn from them and progress in my journey! ) Chats: As a flexible listener I usually take chats that are very flexible. I adapt to the members needs, that means we can talk for an hour or more, daily or just a one time chat, not fixed days or times. However, we can also set a day and time to talk regularly. Even if we didn't, I will do my best to check-up on you every now and then. I am a kind, professional, honest and helpful listener. I would like to make this a very safe and nice environment for everyone on 7Cups. Almost everyday I get many private messages, so it might take time for me to answer. (Definitely on the weekends.)  !! I DO NOT TAKE SEXUAL CHATS OR ROLEPLAY CHATS!! Available: Tue-Fri Status:  Online  V  I am willing and available to start a conversation, please don't hesitate to message me  Busy  ? I am online, but can't take any more members.

I look forward to speaking with you so just leave a message. I have had an exciting adventure continuing to grow as a listener. I enjoy meeting new people and sharing moments of their day with them. I live with the philosophy that you're never too old to learn something new. Being open to learning is what keeps us young mentally, no matter how fragile our bodies get. I look forward to connecting with you. I take long term chats and mold My listening to my members needs just like a warm cozy blanket. I am willing to support most topics, all I ask is you be mindful of the site rules and respect my personal boundaries on extreme and inappropriate content. I am available for one hour chats and reply to request with in a 24 hour period. My time zone is CDT I chat once to twice a week and also can reply offline if that is your preference.

Hello, I'm Mesther! 🧚‍♀️ Welcome to my bio, here's some warm tea and buttery popcorn to snack on while you read ☕️🍿 As you can already tell, I have a fun and inviting personality. I love bike riding and creating art, but my true passion lies in providing empathetic and attentive listening to others 💫 Having navigated my own share of challenges in the past, I understand the profound impact of feeling isolated and unsupported. Despite overcoming numerous struggles on my own, I often wished for someone to share my burdens with. Now, I'm committed to being that supportive presence for others. I'm here to provide support and understanding. I strongly believe in the power of active listening and offering a non-judgmental space for you to share your thoughts and feelings 🎀 I understand that sharing personal thoughts and feelings with someone new can be intimidating, especially if you're not used to opening up. Please be assured that our conversations will unfold at a pace that feels comfortable for you. You're in control of what you share and I'll never pressure you to disclose more than you're ready to 🤍 I strive for excellence but I'm not immune to mistakes. If at any time you feel uncomfortable or upset as a result of our interaction, I encourage you to share your concerns with me. Your feedback is invaluable and I'm dedicated to using it as an opportunity for growth and improvement 🪴 I'm available to respond to messages and schedule chats during evening hours (EST). Please feel free to send me a message with the topic you'd like to discuss and I will respond as soon as I can, typically the same day 🦋 Thank you for taking the time to read about me, please take some glitter with you before you leave, just for being awesomely you ✨

Hey there! I’m (your) Advocate. My goal is to be your mirror; I'll show you your inner worth, and we'll both grow together. So, send a message whenever you'd like! Even if I can't respond right away, you can guarantee that I will respond as soon as I can. That's a promise! Thanks for stopping by! Update regarding recent events! My work schedule has kept me extremely busy, but I’ll always make time to send a message to my members. If you send me a message, you can always expect a reply, but it may not be right away. Think of sending messages to me as leaving a note on a park bench: I’ll certainly see it and leave my own note (or notes!) for you to find when you return. If this asynchronous model works for you, then take a seat on this bench and grab a pen - I’ll be waiting to read your note!

If I’m not online and/or busy, then please feel free to leave me a message and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. If we have not talked previously, please share a little about what/why you are sending me a message instead of just writing only hi, hey, how are you, the specific questions you are inquiring about and how I can best assist you in your message. Thank you for understanding and respecting this request.  *Currently Not Taking Any New Member Chat Requests, Unless I Initiate The Chat. Only Available To Take Listener Requests For Peer Support, Mentorship, And Related Matters*  To Find Available Listeners Check Out The Following Link: https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/ [https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/]  Currently online listeners will have a green dot, but please read their profile first to ensure they are taking new chats, support the topic you are interested in talking about, and another important information. Additionally, you are able to join the chat request queue, and the next available listener will accept your chat request as soon as possible. Check Out The Following Link:   Connect Now | 7 Cups [https://www.7cups.com/connect/] ------------------------- About Me: * Full-time university student majoring in Human Services with a concentration in Direct Service and double minor in Psychology and Medical Social Sciences * Certified Peer Recovery Specialist (CPRS) * Certified Recovery Support Specialist (CRSP) * "Hope Dealer"         a powerful and uplifting phrase often used to describe someone who spreads positivity, encouragement, and hope to others, even in difficult times. It's a term that highlights the impact of inspiring and motivating others to keep going, focus on the good, and believe in a brighter future. * "Survivor Provider"   One day you will tell your story of how you overcame what you went through and that will be someone else's survival guide. ~Brene Brown     Every read someone's story and think, "This is exactly what I needed to hear today?" Your story will do that for someone else.   There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you. ~Maya Angelou       It's important that we share our experiences with other people. Your story will heal you and your story will heal somebody else. When you tell your story, you free yourself and give other people permission to acknowledge their own story. ~Iyanla Vanzant ------------------------- Since a young age I have been very passionate about giving back and helping others. I truly believe one of my biggest purposes in life is to try to do whatever I can in my lifetime to help improve the lives of others and try to leave some sort of lasting positive impression on the world ------------------------- INFJ (Myers-Briggs Personality Type) Hobbies: Listening to music, traveling, spending time with loved ones, cooking, learning, volunteering, drawing, the beach, amusement parks Favorite Quotes/Mottos I Live By:   "Just When the Caterpillar Thought the World Was Over, It Became a Butterfly", "Where Words Fail, Music Speaks"-Hans Christian Andersen, "Be the Change You Wish to See in the World"-Mahatma Gandhi ------------------------- I feel so blessed for this opportunity to connect with people around the world with whom I have so much in common. I have noticed we are all a bit optimistic, we believe in humanity, we believe in kindness, we believe in a better tomorrow.   We are all here because we believe that kind word even from a stranger can make a change. And it Can!   You never know fully what impact you have on another human being! Did you save relationships today? Did you save someone's career? someone's life? health? friendship? We never will know for sure, however, I have certainty that you changed someone's day, someone's life today.   Today is (05/12/2021 or whatever the date is when you are reading this). It is a unique day. There will be 05/13/2021 / 05/12/2022,2023 etc but never again 05/12/2021😊 And we had the opportunity to live this day, for one reason or another. Maybe it is so we can tell our grandchildren about this day, maybe today is the day you start feeling better, maybe today is the day you are finally able to accomplish something you couldn't before, maybe today is the day you finally are able to love yourself exactly the way you are, maybe today is the day you feel completely carefree and grounding, maybe today is the day.................😊   I hope I can help make this unique day better for you, to enjoy this day, to feel loved, supported, heard, understood, and whatever it is you may need to make this day all the more unique and special. The day which will never happen again in the history of humanity So, I want to thank each one of you for being here, for giving me the opportunity to listen to you, for having the courage to be vulnerable, honest, and giving me an insight into whatever you may be feeling/thinking/experiencing, and ultimately giving me the chance to not only be a part of this unique day in your life but giving me the chance to make someone's day better. Each chat I get the fortunate opportunity to have whether it is with a member or listener is my chance to be present and listen to your valuable, unique, important, and personal story. Remember you are never alone; you matter and are needed in this world.  ------------------------- If the circle on my profile picture is red, I am either offline, busy, or not taking chats even if I am on the site. Feel free to leave a message and I will get back to you when I can. If I respond expect responses to be delayed. If the circle is orange, I'm working on something, or I am in a chatroom. Again, feel free to try me as I likely will be able to respond, but responses will be delayed. If it's green, I am here and I can take chats. If I have a time limit, I will let you know. If for some reason your first message the response isn't quick, I am probably away from the computer for a moment (though I usually try to switch to yellow) or your chat got buried which sometimes happens randomly. Please give me some time and I will respond as soon as possible. ------------------------- *I am open to taking all types of chats as long as they are within the appropriate terms of service according to 7 Cups of Tea. However, I reserve the right to let you know that I might not feel like I am the best person to handle a chat and will do my best to help find a listener who I feel would be better suited.  * If you plan on being inappropriate and cannot adhere to the terms of service please do both of us a favor and do not attempt to message me. You will be reported and blocked as I take my roles on 7 Cups serious and do not have any time or desire to engage in these types of situations on here.  *I have checked off multiple different issues I am comfortable providing support, but the ones that I feel most adapted to handle include: Anxiety, Borderline (BPD), Relationships, Bullying, Chronic Illness/Pain, Depression, Panic Attacks/Disorders, Disability, Domestic Violence, General Mental Health, Loneliness, Managing Emotions, Body Image Issues, and Women's Issues. *My chats are typically 30-60 minutes long unless agreed to something different. *I am able to do offline chats as well as live chats through scheduled chats, and inquiring if I am able to talk outside of that set time when my status is online.  *My time zone is EST.
