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.

Note: Please expect delays if you reach out to me. I'm currently in my finals week at school, and afterward will be moving, so I may be offline for several days at a time. Please feel free to contact me and message me again if it's been a couple of days. I promise I care, I am just incredibly busy for the next few weeks. Hi! My name is Will (he/they), and I'm really glad you've found me here on 7 Cups. I know firsthand how hard opening up to people can be, so I'm glad you're taking a step in the right direction. About Me: I am an undergraduate student studying neuroscience. I use my lived experience to guide my knowledge but stay current on psychological literature. I am a Dissociative Disorders Discussion Host (check the discussion schedule out here: https://www.7cups.com/forum/trauma/General_2433/ScheduleDiscussionsoftheTraumaSubCommunity_302437/) and currently try to focus my chats on those with dissociative disorders and trauma, though I am open to chat with about a variety of things outside of that. Experience: My primary area of expertise is in dissociative disorders and trauma, but I have many areas that I can support individuals in, including, but not limited to anxiety, depression, school/work stress, and addiction. Outside of here, I have over a year of clinical experience in residential and addiction programs and over a year of research experience on psychopathologies. Time: On average, I can dedicate 45-90 minutes per individual chat. I will give 5-10 minute notices before I have to sign out, so do not expect an abrupt end to a conversation. I can check back with individuals after a conversation, but I typically offer one-off support to folks. Please let me know if you would like me to check back in, and expect a check-in after roughly a week if you ask. Disclaimer: Due to being a student, my availability may be spotty during certain academic periods, so if you need to reach me, please message me and be patient (feel free to double message as well). Thank you for taking the time to read this; if you have any questions or just want to reach out, feel free to send me a message.

i’m not interested in any programmes, thank you so much and i appreciate your time. long break, was it. I'm an average person who may have experienced some trashy situations whilst finding myself standing all alone without anyone to share my problems with or vent to. I just hope that no one ends up in a situation like mine and that is why I'll try my best to comfort anyone and everyone who isn't happy one way or another. you can leave a review so that I'm able get better at what I do. and please man I seriously loathe typos oh my lord. lastly, take care of yourselves for me ;)

I simply believe that helping one person might not change the whole world, but can change the world for one person.

I wanted to become a 7 Cups listener because I know how it feels to want someone to listen and need to feel validated and supported in my most vulnerable moments. I also wanted to provide any support to those who need it. So far I feel I’ve not only gained perspective, but I’ve become more consciously aware of my response and how to appropriately approach others. I am open to ANY conversation, please don’t hesitate to message me! :)

Hello! I am genuinely glad you have taken this step to reach out. My name is Nikita, and I would be more than happy to listen to you. I won't pretend that I know how to fix your problem(s). Instead I will listen to you in the same way I would a loved one, and try my best to understand your situation. If I'm online then send me a request, and even if I'm not, then send me a message anyway so we can arrange a time to chat! I look forward to hearing from you soon. Much love. <3
