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 to My Profile! Please note that I am unable to provide support for relationship issues. Life can be challenging, and I am here to provide you with a compassionate and non-judgmental space where you can share your thoughts and feelings openly. I am dedicated to being a supportive and empathetic listener, using a variety of listening strategies to ensure you feel truly heard and understood. Topics I Can Support You With: * Depression * Anxiety * Self-Harm * Panic Attacks * Family Issues My goal is to make sure you feel comfortable and safe when reaching out. You can be honest and straightforward with me, and I’ll work to meet you where you are, offering understanding and encouragement as we navigate your challenges together. Session Guidelines: * Each chat session is limited to 45 minutes to ensure I can give my full attention to everyone who needs support. * During our time together, I encourage active engagement. This means participating in the conversation by sharing your thoughts, feelings, or questions so we can make the most of our time. * If you feel stuck or unsure of how to start, don’t worry. I’m here to guide you through the process. If any of the topics listed resonate with you, or if you simply need someone to talk to, I’m here for you. When I’m online, feel free to initiate a chat session. I’ll be here to support you during: * Moments of loneliness. * Times of nervousness or uncertainty. * Difficult periods in life. * Any time you need a kind, understanding friend to lean on. You are an extraordinary individual who deserves kindness, care, and support. No matter what you’re going through, it’s okay to seek help, and it’s okay to take the time you need to heal. ------------------------- A Few Encouraging Words to Remember. * “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.” ------------------------- In Closing: I want to remind you that taking the step to reach out for support is an act of courage and strength. Whether you’re making significant strides or taking things one small step at a time, each effort reflects your determination and resilience. You are not alone in this journey—there are people who genuinely care about you and are ready to support you every step of the way. My role is to be here for you, to listen with compassion, and to provide a space where you feel safe, valued, and understood. Let’s take this journey together, one step at a time.

In relation to LGBT, I have personal experience earlier in life with spiritual and emotional trauma related to conversion therapy (to change sexual orientation). I look forward to talking with you .

Head of Content and Product Team Member  I am unfortunately unable to take member chats at this moment. I strongly believe in psychology - as a psychology student - I view our Psyches/psychology to be a key for all success in life. I believe that soulfully, we are all butterflies - we suffer from trials and misfortunes, and bit by bit, we are purified by our sufferings, until we are able to soar like a great butterfly. But the greatest thing amongst the chaos of this world, is that we can unite in the face of darkness in order to grasp the light. Conquer your life today, and reach out whenever needed! 🦋I am a verified, trained active listener with experience on several leadership teams here. I believe in the power of listening and motivating one another for success. Apart from my work here, I am a bookworm, poet, and lifelong learner. I enjoy advocating mental health and have leadership experience and training. 🦋 My journey at 7 Cups started as an intern. I graduated my internship here with honors, and put together a project on Social Media Depression (link found at the end of my bio). 🦋 My current roles include being the Programs Coordinator - I oversee the Content Volunteer Team and the Translations Project. I also enjoy being a Peer Supporter, Moderator/Room Supporter, as well as a forum-worm). 🦋 In the past, I have loved being the CML for the Veterans and Military Support Community and the Family and Caregivers Support Community as well. I have worked with great teams including the 35+ and 50+ subcommunities, and have been a discussion writer and feed team member as well. 🦋 I have not been raised or born in Pakistan and am only just recently adjusting to the culture/norms associated with the country. My first and primary language is English and I am not fluent enough in Urdu. Kindly respect that. 🦋If you are interested in learning more about the Community Projects and the Honors project, discussed above, please click the links below. Thank you!

Availability: ❌ Offline for the Foreseeable Future ❌ Hello there! I resigned from all my roles on Cups in December 2023 after much consideration and thought. For the foreseeable future, I will not be taking member chats. I may pop in once a month or so to take one-off chats, but I cannot commit to long-term members or offline chatting. If you need urgent help, please visit the 'Browse Listeners' tab to find an active, online listener best suited for you. I wish you all the best, and don't forget to be awesome! 🤍🌸🤍 About Me Welcome to my profile! My name is Lunaire (Luna if you'd like!). I am just but one of the many listeners on this site, who are each trying to make the world a better place, one conversation at a time. I'm a 22-year-old medical student from South Africa. I adore reading and writing, and when my nose is not in a book or the latest story I am trying to finish writing at 3am, you'll find me researching and learning about the most obscure subjects. Education is one of the ideals I am very passionate about - knowledge is power, and makes the world go around.  🤍🌸🤍 My Former Roles on 7Cups Peer Supporter Chat Support  Safety Patrol and Safety Patrol Outreach Team (SPOT) member Quality Mentor Listener Verifier Project Agent for Active Listening Test Outreach and for the VL Team Listener Chatroom Supporter Anonymous Evaluations Team member 🤍🌸🤍 Please take note of the following: * Just like everyone else on the site, I am human and I would appreciate a mutual respect between us during the chat.  * My schedule does not permit me to be online on 7 Cups 24/7. My response time is usually 3 days.  * I do not take chat requests about: sexual topics/health, LGBTQ+ issues, self-harm, breakup/relationship stress/issues and addiction (drugs and/or alcohol usage).  * I do not take chats that request for advice, whether personal or medical as this is against 7Cups guidelines.  * My chat times with members can be between 30 - 60 minutes, however, I cannot chat for more than one hour. Please speak to me if you wish to chat again at another time. I cannot support long term members at this time.  * Please note that I will redirect you to another listener if I feel that I am unable to support you properly as I do not want to make anyone feel like they are unheard.  * I don't accept listener requests for chats about personal support or any non-listener related topic - kindly login to your member account to do so.

PLEASE NOTE: No chats from new people! Sorry, I cannot give you the attention you deserve. 𓇢𓆸♡ Hi, I'm Rose🌹. ♡ (^=˃ᆺ˂) 𓇢𓆸 If I have talked with you in the past, you can try messaging me, but no guarantees on when I will respond. I will now respond to messages from you if we have had contact before. Asynchronous chats. Sorry, but my schedule does not permit scheduled chats at this time. I will occasionally take an hour here and there at the spur of the moment to host a Sharing Circle. I hope you’re well. Take care.
