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.

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 ✨ ------------------------- Proud to have earned Verified Listener status Dedicated member of the Anonymous Evaluations team

I am a 24 year old student who has been living by herself and studying in a different country than my home one for more than 5 years now. I am very well familiar with topics such as student stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness and other work/study related issues. Besides, I have great experience with relationships and the ups and downs that come with them. I myself am in one where a lot of communication is needed to ensure things are going well. I am a great listener especially to people I care about but I also notice how people who barely know me can easily open up to me and feel comforted. I want to use that opportunity to help others that need a little push to feel better! :)

I am here to listen and hopefully to help you feel better. I know sometimes life is full of difficulties, challenges, sorrows, and setbacks It's during these times that a supportive voice can make all the difference. but I think sometimes in order to overcome them, we need someone to listen to us, support us, maybe encourage us, and think with us. but Unfortunately sometimes  even those closest to us may not always understand or give us the space we need in these moments. and that is why I am here.  While I can't guarantee to have all the answers to your problems, or the best advice, I can guarantee to lend you a listening ear, show compassion, share your feelingsm and I will try to think with you to find the best solutions. After all, life isn't always filled with sunshine and rainbows. I, too, have faced my fair share of storms and have learned how to navigate through them. So, if you ever feel like you need someone to talk to, someone who won't just hear the words you say but truly understand the emotions behind them, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm here for you, anytime, any day.
