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.

Hi my name is Amy🩷🌸 "Have courage and be kind" - Cinderella Kindness is the biggest gift you can give someone and it can change their lives completely. The best part is that it's completely free from your side! Give your kindness to others, and you will experience the change of a lifetime! I dont feel too comfortable with topics on sexual health, as I don't think im educated enough with the topic. I am working on it and I can try to support no matter what, but I prefer to stay clear of the topic for now. The book that changed my life completely: https://www.7cups.com/7cups-for-the-searching-soul/ Go give it a read, it can change your whole life! A little bit about me!  I enjoy helping others and learning about human nature in the process. 🎈☄️ I love swimming and running and my favorite thing ever is a sunset on the beach. I love hot chocolate above anything and my go-to food is sushi. 🍣☕️🍫 I am a very people's person and i can sit for hours having a conversation about the smallest things.🐝🌷 I am very much a brunette, but ive often been told that blonde hair would suite my personality, so just please excuse me if i ask you to explain something again.💁🏼‍♀️🙋‍♀️ My favorite holiday is Christmas☃️🎄

I call my friends "love" both in real life and here 2. I am a hug person, I love hugs and I might send you virtual hugs 3. I might leave you random texts and check in sometimes if any of these, or anything else in the chat, makes you uncomfortable, or if there are triggers that I need to avoid, let me know and I'll be careful not to repeat ------------------------- ~lgbtq+ Ally~ ------------------------- some people i miss badly on cups *~* @kimmkimm (miss you awesomeness) @ruby2468 (I can’t think of a way to reach you rn, but I’m thinking of you, missing you and hoping you are doing okie) @brokentearss (miss you lampshade, and will never forget you) @ALeXaNdEr0712 (you are missed, and on my mind at random times) @tazzie (rest in peace taz) @edabake @tallwalker4850 @serenn @bluewalker8200 @exuberantplane4067 @swiftygirl13 @ri337 @jaja25 ------------------------- reminders~ your feelings are real, and you have every right to feel them, to speak them but just remember that you won't always feel the same way trying your best is enough and it's all you ever gotta do you are a human, and as a human, you have the right to make mistakes  your choices, thoughts, feeling and actions, make sense in the bigger picture of your life, and by a big chance anyone else, exactly in your shoes would do the same  and always remember; love yourself: speak yourself  'cause "life gets hard and it gets messed up when you give so much but it's not enough when the high's too high and the low's too low  ....  don't you let it kill you,  even when it hurts like hell oh whatever tears you apart,    don't let it break your heart"    sometimes, it can feel so heavy, to be a human to feel, to get thru daily life,  sometimes, it feels so lonely to be who you are, sometimes, mind gets cruel, too much thoughts and memories,  when you really just want it to stop, to go silent and to give you a rest sometimes, it's panic, other times, sadness anger, exhaustion, frustration sometimes, it is too much to process, other times, numbness and regardless of what it is, how big or small you don't have to face it alone by a big chance, i can't solve the problem, but hey, dark places are much less scary when not alone sharing, talking and feeling understood can help you feel much more ready to face, get thru and sometimes, solve the problems

 Hello! My name is Heather and helping others has always been a passion of mine. When I accept 1-on-1 chats, I mainly accept loneliness & anxiety chats as those two topics I have much life experience in.  Unfortunately, mental health care is expensive and I understand the struggle. Even though I volunteer and can't provide any advice or solutions, I want members to feel at ease knowing they have someone who cares and will listen and not have to stress about paying a professional.  Online Activity: Tuesdays Wednesdays Thursdays  I do not accept sexual health or inappropriate chats.   I do accept casual chats  Availability 1 on 1 chat: occasionally accept chats as I work 5/6 days a week.
