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.

I won't judge you or your situation and will endeavour to understand and support you. I can't fix your struggle, but maybe with support you can learn how to manage that for yourself.

I been pulling myself out of dark places alone since I was a child am built for anything. People like me don't have people, we are the people that people have People with kind hearts and soft spirits are often seen as weak within society. But they're some of the strongest people you'll encounter; even with the trauma and pain they've experienced, they're able to still prevail and bring light to others who are experiencing darkness. Trauma makes you tolerate a lot of things you don't deserve because you don't want to lose people. Healing makes you realise some people don't deserve to be in your life, no matter how much you love them. Healing does not happen overnight. It takes time and effort but it is worthwhile. Be patient and gentle with yourself. Keep choosing to rest, self-care, and give yourself self compassion as needed. Even when it doesn't feel like you're making progress: keep going. One day you will look back and see how far you've come. It's quite simple really, I cannot help others if I do not help myself first.I have worked so hard on myself, perfected my craft, developed an unreal skillset and achieved recovery. This means I am able to help others, l am able to share my skills and abilities with my peers and fellow warriors around the world by inspiring each individual. I am in an incredibly privileged and honoured position, helping people gives me an unbelievable rewarding feeling.I was born to help others, this life of mine was chosen, I had to earn it via many tests I have had thrown at me.This was my destiny, my purpose in life.It provides me with so much satisfaction knowing I am helping people.I have been through so much but I'm only just getting started. If your sad, please reach out and talk to someone, let those who love and care about you be there for you, they truly want to . If you are lonely, surround yourself with people who love you, remember if you are lonely when you are surrounded by others, then maybe you are in the wrong company • When you feel like you are not enough ,you truly are worth so much. Love who you are and never apologise for the wonderful human being that you are. When you are sick, I hope you feel much better soon. Maybe your body is telling you that you are way to awesome and you need to slow down a little and let every one else catch up with you . When you are happy, share it, Happiness is like a beautiful kiss, It has to be shared to be truly enjoyed. Remember, be kind ... Always . To both yourselves and to others. The simple act of kindness can make such a difference to someone else day . Big hugs to anyone who needs one LET ME BE CLEAR.... for years I let everything slide - BUT now I have boundaries. You don't get to talk down to me. You don't get to smile in my face & secretly despise me. You don't get to throw jabs at me "innocently" through jokes. You don't get to use me. One thing about it, actions don't lie. I was too busy trying to keep the peace and that's where I disrespected MYSELF. I deserve the love I give freely to everyone around me... ""'m alert enough to catch the shade, and HEALED enough to go on about my day" just don't step to me.... RESPECTFULLY No one really tells you how hard it is to rewire your mind to allow amazing things to happen after experiencing so much trauma and pain. Blessings exist, good people exist, and a softer life exists. Allow yourself to experience it.

Hi my name is Diana, I’m a Crystal Healer 💜. I enjoy talking to people and helping if I can! My focus is on validating members for normal, human thoughts and feelings and I am always happy to let someone vent to me if they need! Keep in mind, I am not a trained professional and therefore there are certain subjects I am not able or willing to discuss. If that is the case, I will kindly redirect you to a listener better suited to your problem :)

Hi there! I'm Angelanj 😇(she/her), a second-year psychology student who is passionate about understanding and helping others. I believe in the power of a listening ear. Sometimes life throws curveballs, and it's wonderful to have a safe space to vent, share, or simply be heard. I'm here to offer you that space, a safe zone to vent, celebrate, or simply be heard without judgment. Whether you're navigating a life challenge, need a sounding board for a new idea, or just want to chat about that amazing book you just finished, I'm your person! Just a heads up: Between being a full-time student, and managing my own personal life, I can get busy and I may not respond quickly all the time. But know that your message truly matters. If my response takes a little longer, rest assured it's not because I don't care. I will try to reply to messages as fast as I can. If I haven't replied in quite a while and you really need a listening ear, try connecting with another one of the lovely listeners here on 7cups. 🫂💞 Let's talk openly and honestly. I'm here to listen without judgment, and offer support in any way I can. It's okay not to be okay, and together, we can navigate those tough times a little bit easier. Here are some fun facts about me! : 🌸 I love the colors pink and purple! 💜💗 🌸 I love music! 🌸 When I'm not stressing over school I love to curl up with a good book! (Especially if it's romance 💒💖) 🌸 I love to watch movies an tv shows. Right now I'm currently watching Grey's anatomy! 🌸 My MBTI personality type is INFP 🌸 My zodiac sign is Scorpio ♏ 🦂 💗 🌸 My goal is to become a psychiatrist or psychologist someday! I'm fascinated by how our thoughts and experiences shape us.

I am a wonderful listener; I will not tell you what to do but will give suggestions. I have gone through a lot over the years and understand you. I am a friend and not a stranger. I see it that a person needs to have someone to listen and not to judge you or to order you. You need someone who understands you and who has gone through it themselves.
